  • Solid, but repetitive

    Solid movie podcast if you’re just looking for jokes, but you better like those jokes because they’ll repeat them for months on end.

    Also be comfortable with constant molestation jokes. Not saying it’s terribly offensive, just saying you’ll hear about it nonstop.

  • Hilarity for Bingos

    If you love catchphrases, call backs and sound board drops dolloped on top of terrible movies, it’s a great show.

    Kung Pao Enter the Fist qualifies and it’s < 90 mins. Easy phile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cinephobe

What is Cinephobe about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Three hosts share a playful, riff-heavy approach to evaluating films with low Rotten Tomatoes scores, arguing about why some titles are unfairly judged and whether they merit a second look. Across episodes, expect fast banter, running gags, trivia, and lighthearted battles over which scenes or lines deserve remembrance. The show stands out for its chemistry, deep dives into cult favorites, and a willingness to defend offbeat picks with humor and data-driven critique. This combination makes it a good fit for listeners who enjoy film analysis served with personality and inside jokes, and for sponsors seeking a personality-driven, culture-forward audience.
