Decided to try this out and unfortunately Elric is on this. He seems like a cinema snob. He acts like he is the supreme being about cinema. I noticed that all reviews seem to be noticing his constant interruptions! Elric… come on dude!
I really enjoy most of this pod and can’t say anything negative about Brian. But damn, Elric talks way too much and you can tell Brian gets tired of it. Elric has a habit of saying he doesn’t want to smile a movie and then proceeds to tell you everything about that movie. It’s a bummer. Lastly, Elric does this thing, “this one could be paired with” blah blah blah. It’s corny.
Tremendous recommendations for cinephiles in search of unseen gems
Having tuned into Elric for over a decade and then following this podcast since it began, I’m amazed and deeply grateful that I’m still learning so much and having a blast while I do. Contagious passion about movies these guys have and such a wealth of knowledge, as well as just a great conversational hang out vibe. Thanks for the movie discoveries and the good listening
The enthusiasm for film is infectious. Brian and Elric really bring it. An outstanding podcast.
