  • Nah

    The host is so self absorbed, I lean right and even I found the right wing political stuff obnoxious. The few episodes I listened to hardly discussed the actual movie lol

    I don't like every movie these guys endorse, but I always look forward to hearing their takes. Acerbic, unfiltered criticsm backed by technical knowledge that a lot of YouTubers either don't possess or can't communicate well to the layman. I also respect their dedication to covering nascent film scenes such as Dimes Square or the Daily Wire's projects, taking them seriously and laying out where they do or don't succeed.
