  • The only podcast I listen to

    Hi! I guess I’m the first person in a minute to leave a review on the Apple podcast app. You guys have been bringing that up a lot so you’re welcome I guess.

    Anyways, I’ve been listening to the podcast for a few months though I’ve been following David’s film reviews for a little over a year. I don’t have a ton to say other than this is quite literally the only podcast I’ve ever actively listened to, and that it’s great to have a movie podcast where everyone actually knows what they’re talking a... more

  • Updated Review for the Best

    Best podcast that eschews commercials to provide good vibes, great TV/film analysis & chatter.

    They got me to see “Eddington” in theaters & more! Listen to this one if you don’t check out any similar podcast, listen to this one if you’re way too into “the business” all (but the audio quality snobs) are welcome!

  • This is a good podcast

    I really appreciate the 4 unique perspectives. Too many podcasts are 2 hosts agreeing, or disagreeing, but this format and the hosts show that opinions are not binary, there is always space for nuance. I also think all four of the hosts have great podcast voices (this feels like a backhanded compliment like “face for radio” but I promise it isn’t!)
