  • Horror Movie Bracket is a Disgrace

    I usually enjoy your podcast, but I think I’m done listening after your horror movie bracket episode. I cannot believe how many horror movies you guys have not seen. It is shameful how little you guys prepare for your podcast. You are both absolutely unqualified to have a horror movie episode and your consistent mid takes deem you unqualified to have a movie podcast at all. Unfollowing you on every service

  • Recency bias

    Good show but they do suffer big time from recency bias. For instance, in their reviews from movies like Dr strand in the multiverse of madness and Love and Thunder they loved them but then after some time you’ll find them at the bottom of the rankings of movies. Basically any new movie is gonna be rated as good.
