I like the podcast but Phil should not speak on the House of Dragons show recaps! He absolutely does not understand anything about the story, the characters and the subtleties of the right and wrong. It’s frustrating to listen to the others try to explain this all to him as if to a five year old.
Phil is dumb. Very. Barret is dumber. Very. Mike and Eric are actually entertaining and bring actual thought to there “critiques and dissections “. This is an edit to a previous review to which I was personally called out on show. Never heard of content creator actually doing that before but I guess I was right on the type of low life Phil is. By the way Mr Snooze I’m from NY and though I hate your reviews of horror, I do love Mystic Pizza Perron. Leave it alone loser. Hope Eric and Mike get own... more
I tend to fast forward the first 15-20 minutes due to the endless self and cross promotion. But then there’s the 15 min of going around the room asking each person how you heard about the movie - Ugggg…. How bout you just give your thoughts on the movie ?
This is the worst podcast on the net. That they claim to have 500 episodes is a farce. The lead host Phil will tell to go to site for old eps but only 100 are real the rest I believe are phony. Phil gives a whole scripts worth of terrible sayings like they “not only review but critique movies”. Yup a real Einstein here folks. He also tells what country and religion workers on the film are. Sound like he’s not a fan of non white catholic folk so beware. Then ya got Webster. Folks on the MPD shoul... more
Hi, I stumbled upon this podcast back in May 2013 and have become a devoted fan by how versatile and enjoyable it is!!
My favourite episode is 76 with Kristi Petersen-Schoonover about the Chernobyl Diaries. I loved the dicussion on the movie but also the Cold War and threat of mutually assured destruction. All of which I grew up as a child of the 80’s.
I have loved their shows on vampires, zombies and was so pleasantly suprised with how awesome their Christopher Nolan retrospective was. From ... more
