  • Somewhat inconsistent

    I like your discourse. But I think these guys have some weird takes. They will over praise movies that some would consider Oscar-bait while at the same time giving too much credit to movies that are clearly Oscar-bait. Also pronouncing Zendaya’s name wrong in 2026 when she’s been on countless tv interviews is crazy. And even crazier for people that literally do a movies podcast. It has the same energy as Trump mispronouncing Kamala Harris’s name

    Good but the voice in the start of most episodes is kinda scary and gives me nightmares sometimes.
