Reviews

  • C'mon. Try harder please.

    Is no one paying attention? Is the no editor? The host uses the wrong title in service of a poor turn of phrase and then Owen reveals far too much of the plot. Kind of shameful and lazy criticism. And why throw Civil War under the bus?

  • Unprofessional

    In the first two minutes of their review of One Battle After Another, the host manages to say the name of the movie incorrectly, and then the reviewer Owen immediately spoils a major key plot point in the film with complete disregard to the listener and without any spoiler warning. I would be furious if I hadnt already seen the film.
