  • pretty enjoyable

    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

  • Love this pod!

    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.

  • Funny and entertaining!

    I love listening to this podcast while I work out. I’m a casual movie enjoyer but still get a lot out of this podcast. All three hosts are fun and intelligent, and the podcast itself is very well-organized. I don’t watch a lot of modern blockbusters so I’m just gonna have to take their word for it about the Dunes and Furiosas of the movie zeitgeist.

    And to the reviewer who called this the “WOKEST PODCAST EVER,” I think you just mean that they don’t shy away from discussing politics… which makes... more
