Jumped in and out since Matty Ballgame was the co-host. This show is still the best movie show on the digital stream waves.
This podcast is Filmspotting if there was a Nitrous Oxide leak in the house ;-)
It has no plot or characters. Compare it to Fatal Attraction, Gone Girl, or even I Spit on Your Grave. These reviewers are trash.
Used to be my fav podcast, but it has become a feed for all these random other podcasts and has become very spammy like non stop promotion for other podcasts on a network. Can’t recommend unless you sub for constant cross promotion. Had to unsub.

A long-running film-criticism show built on thoughtful, accessible analysis of both new releases and classic cinema. Episodes span deep dives into directors, iconic scenes, and cinematic techniques, often pairing rigorous discussion with warm, bantering banter. A strong element is curated lists and themed marathons, plus a community feel driven by listener interactions and recurring segments. Notable strengths include sustained longevity, clear expertise, and a knack for turning film talk into engaging conversations that appeal to cinephiles and casual viewers alike. The format also leans into top-five lists, genre explorations, and occasional guests, making it a solid fit for audiences who value context, craft, and culture around movies."
