15 year listener, still rarely miss an episode. A&J make film criticism accessible while never dumbing it down! Keep up the great work!
That I still mourn the passing of their sister podcast Filmspotting SVU. I don’t get to watch as many movies as I used to, but I still enjoy their discussions. This is The Podcast for movie fans of all kinds.
Update: Tried listening again after years of ignoring them. And there were 500 “you knows” within the first minute!
These self proclaimed “film freaks” have the most incredible ability to come up with reasons to dislike nearly every film in existence. Great films are remembered forever, not the critics who bashed them.
I’ve been listening since the Cinecast, Sam pre-“Van” Hallgren days. Twenty years in, this podcast is still amazing and just keeps getting better. Adam, Josh, Sam, Golden Joe, and the rest of the team; thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love their analysis, it often helps me to appreciate movies more and see things i didn't even notice when I first watched the movies.
