- I give up
The show has had ups and downs. Too much overhead and the host seems to have his friends on just to laugh a lot at his jokes. Nice people but do they have anything to do with movies, other than watch them.
So, I hadn’t listened in a couple months but needed something light for 90 minutes. 33 minutes in, nothing about the movie. All banter, a list of Patreon donors, some weird game and maybe ten minutes on a tedious story of missing a train. I think the movie was gods of Egypt but I gave up.

I’m so sick of critics elevating movies because they like the movies politics that I’ll drop it if it continues.

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
