- Take SVU off this feed
I’m sympathetic that people need to make money, but the inclusion of SVU (and my subsequent accidental listening of it) onto the Filmspotting feed has not only made me dumber (because of the lack of insight that one of the hosts had) but also angry in how dismissive and actively not funny one of the hosts was (while clearly being so self satisfied in the most annoying way). It was just so bad it’s forced me to leave this review. Please take them off the feed.

United States19 days ago - Remove the non film spotting podcasts from feed
The recent decision to expand the feed to include non Film Spotting podcasts is frustrating. The other podcasts are third rate or of no interest and are now attempting to be nepo-babied by film spotting - the entire purpose of following a podcast is to avoid sifting through others. So dumb.
Apple Podcasts1Mark from CalifUnited States2 months ago - SVU Disaster
Love Filmspotting. (Even though I disagree with Josh about 50% of the time). 5 Stars. But today I got served up an episode of SVU. Wow. Just terrible. Completely rudderless and devoid of any real point of view. The 1st 1/2 of the episode was ostensibly about Spider-Man, but no one ever really made a point or insightful observation of any kind, except that one of the hosts doesn’t like animated movies. The second half just turned into even more meandering with no real theme of any kind at whi... more
Apple Podcasts3ErictheblondeUnited States2 months ago - Short sighted
I hate when Jordan dismisses the animated spider-man movies. They are objectively much better than all the live action movies including Brand New Day.
When you dismissed an animated movie, you overlooked the efforts of the entire crew and artists working on the film, which is no less than a regular live action movie. Saying they don’t count as a movie is the last thing a film review channel host should say. I doubt Jordan really understands how much it takes to make a movie. If I could give le... more
