Love this pod, but on the “Send Help” episode you went through Rachel McAdams’ filmography and best performances and y’all acted like “Disobedience” never existed. You ignored the lesbians. Better queer cinema education needed for all of you!
i listen to House of Cinema daily, these guys mean so much to me! always the best part of my day
I like this pod even though i don’t really have the same opinions as them on most movies but i wish they weren’t so stuck on keeping the “structure” of what to talk about in a specific order, i think it would be more enjoyable to listen if they just let the thoughts flow as they come rather than waiting 30 minutes to address something they could’ve just sidetracked for a bit to talk about, idk just something i notice a lot in every episode
Absolutely adore the podcast. My ONLY complaint is that the audio is really unbalanced. Joe is always quiet, Sydney is always the loudest, Claira tends to be right in the middle. Just a teensy complaint because it does make it hard to find the right volume to listen at without hurting my ears.
such a thoughtful and well done podcast with the coolest, funniest, smartest, most articulate hosts! my watchlist is actually endless because of this pod but it’s worth it!!!
