  • Great fun and insight but may have to drop it

    Ian is great. Fun to listen to and I learn a lot. His cohosts add very little other than to set up Ian and laugh at his lines but I figure they’re just friends of Ian, and that’s fine.

    The problem I have is all the filler. It typically takes twenty minutes of banter to get to the review. Sometimes the banter is ok, usually not … these are not comedians. When they finally get to the reviews they get distracted by more banter. And occasionally, Ian asks something like what other ten movies did ... more

  • I've been listening to this podcast for about a year. This is my go-to for fun banter, audience participation, and learning about movies. If you like long (several hours) episodes this is for you.

  • Get so off topic

    Entertaining podcast but wowww its so hard for them to stay on topic. It took them at least 20 min to start to actually talk about the movie and then continued to go off on irrelevant tangents.

  • Georgia Lebowski

    Maybe don’t have someone that dismissive of the big Lebowski on the Lebowski podcast, she was so irritating, I had to stop listening and this is one of my favorite movies. Also, did she not get it was a comedy? This is not real life, it’s a movie. You don’t have to like it, but at least be aware of the genre.
