  • Thoughtful and Insightful

    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.

  • Abbott Elementary

    Oh Ron, I LOVE your content so much, 5 stars, but I think your review of Abbott Elementary is a bit of a miss. Perhaps you’re focusing too much on the entertainment value it has for you, (a grown adult), without reflecting on the impact the show has been having on children and families. Especially now that the DOE is under threat. Good stories/shows can be “mirrors” reflecting our lived experience or “sliding doors” opening up another person’s world.

  • RYJ is pure sunshine!

    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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Social Reckoning (w/ Jonquilyn Hill)
Q: Jonquilyn Hill, what did you think of this movie?
She offers cautious praise for the acting and acknowledges the film's ambition while noting it isn't as tight or effective as Spotlight or The Social Network, with particular attention to how the film handles journalism and real events.
Digger (w/ Darryl C Murphy)
Q: Darryl, what did you think of this movie and its premise?
I was skeptical at first because of the name, but by the end the film's logic and performances clicked, and I found it engaging and multilayered rather than just flashy spectacle.
One Night Only (w/ Jonquilyn Hill)
Q: Jonquilyn Hill, what did you think of this movie?
I really enjoyed it; it feels like the romcom of the 2020s and fits well within the genre, with strong performances and a thoughtful stance on dating culture.
Supergirl (w/ Daisy Rosario)
Q: Daisy, what did you think of this movie?
Daisy expresses a lukewarm reaction, noting distracting elements and a perception that the core story wasn't compelling enough, while acknowledging moments of potential or talent in cast members.
Anaconda (w/ Deondre Jones)
Q: How does this movie compare to other comedies like The Hangover?
The film lacks a compelling race against time, making the plot feel less engaging compared to successful comedies like The Hangover or Bridesmaids.
