  • A weekly treat!

    Great podcast. Anne and Ryan are a great pair.

    The episode with Anne and David E was painful. It felt like maybe they couldn’t hear each other? Or they are used to talking over each other?

  • Excellent perspectives

    Granted, I do skip over most or many of the interviews, but Thompson and Lattanzio provide outstanding perspectives and analyses on a consistent basis. Their top movies of the ‘70s episode is great, and such an intelligent rejoinder to IndieWire’s own…odd in-house list. (Was particularly happy for the callouts to Klute and, surprise, Interiors.)

  • Interesting and a bit frustrating.

    I enjoy the discussions and topics. The hosts clearly know what they’re talking about. They provide interesting and unique takes and points garnished with in-depth insights. However, sometimes they are terrible podcast hosts. It feels at times like their desks face each other at work and after constantly arguing/debating/discussing films as they peck out/edit copy for IW, someone decided to grab an iPhone, record them and upload it as a podcast. The hosts can get so wrapped up in their conversat... more

  • This doesn’t work without Anne

    I used to get mad at Anne and Eric go at each other and then Ryan came in and it was clear, Eric was the problem this whole time. It’s been great to see Ryan and Anne bring a lot more structure to the podcast and their dynamic is perfect.

    I have to say that Ryan’s comments on Superman and the people watching the movie were quite insulting and frankly appalling. I am not a superhero person either but the way he handled that just felt irresponsible and crass, even for the queen he is

  • The GOAT

    Ann-you’re the GOAT. I began listening back in the In Contention days with Kris Talley. Have followed you ever since. Ryan-bravo too, great addition! Keep this going for decades! (No pressure 🤣).
