  • A little positivity and open mindedness goes a long way in film discourse

    No way!!! A film podcast that gives a fair shake to the likes of Colin Trevorrow and Zack Snyder… Thats Film twitter Heresy. Seriously Thank you guys for giving even the most decisive flicks a fair shake and trying to see the intentions and hard work of filmmakers for what they are even if the end result may fall short. I much rather listen to content like this than the usual film “reviews” where it’s a race to the bottom to dunk on every popular/“woke” movie with the lowest effort possible.

  • Wanna Be Filmmakers

    Every episode of this podcast is 10% interesting backstory and behind the scenes of the movie they’re talking about and 90% backseat directing about what they would have done differently if they made the movie. Also, a pet peeve of mine, even though they have franchise in the name of the podcast they decide to cover director’s full catalogs enough that it seems like they didn’t think through the concept of the podcast that much to begin with.

  • My favorite movie podcast! Entertaining and extremely interesting. The only thing better than their episodes about great movies are their episodes about what went wrong in the making of bad movies. A must listen!

  • Free speech for all!

    As a normal person who can’t stand wokeism, I get it, free speech is endangered. However, the crusade to be woke by Scott is ridiculous, it’s not “unhoused” it’s homeless.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FANTASTIC FOUR (2015)
Q: Scott, do you have any memories of seeing this in theaters for 10 years now?
Absolutely. I think to this day, it's the worst movie I've ever seen in a movie theater, I'm pretty sure.
THE SANTA CLAUSE (1994)
Q: Neil, do you have any childhood memories of this movie?
Oh, absolutely. This movie, you know, I grew up right in the sweet spot when this came out. I was I was a 90s kid.
PUSS IN BOOTS (2011)
Q: How does 'Puss In Boots' compare to the 'Shrek' series?
It diverges from the parody elements of 'Shrek' to embrace a more earnest adventure approach.
PUSS IN BOOTS (2011)
Q: What are your thoughts on the characterization of Humpty Dumpty?
Humpty's character serves as a catalyst for exploration of themes like betrayal and friendship.
BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (2016)
Q: What do you think about the inclusion of the Wonder Woman character in this film?
She feels added on without enough integration into the primary narrative and could have been better if the film was primarily about the Trinity's dynamics.
