Leaving the Theater feels like sitting down with a friend after a movie who also happens to be a sharp critic and a great storyteller. Ron brings a mix of insight, vulnerability, and humor that makes every episode feel personal and engaging.
He doesn’t just talk about what happens on screen, he explores why it matters and how it connects to us. His perspective always feels grounded, thoughtful and candid. When he has a guest on the show, the discussion is lively, fun, and respectful.

Oh Ron, I LOVE your content so much, 5 stars, but I think your review of Abbott Elementary is a bit of a miss.

Ronald young jr. is the best! He has so much joy (love listening just to hear him laugh) and I love listening to him talk about movies. He is fair and honest and rooting for filmmakers and writers and actors! He’s my favorite “critic” (in parentheses because he is t your typical pedantic, caustic critic). Keep up the great work! Also love you on pop culture happy hour! You are always the best guest host!
I look forward to all of Ronald’s podcasts; he is always bang on with his ratings. This guy is heart & soul in love with movies and it shows. Brilliant. Thanks for all the joy, Ronald.
I always enjoy hearing Ronald on PCHH and have recently subscribed to this podcast. I enjoy his takes and am always happy to see the podcast pop up in my feed!
