  • The BEST film podcast out there

    I’ve been a listener for a while and this is the real deal. Engrossing and unpretentious, it’s always great to listen to Michael, Joe, and Jared. Only thing I would change is - release episodes more often!

  • A rare gem

    I listen to a lot of film podcasts. This is one of those really underrated podcasts that deserve to be better known. Just as good or better than the best film podcasts out there.

    The concept is great: movies, drinks and jive. Who doesn't like jive? I speak jive!

  • Essential Film Criticism

    Intelligent and insightful about film while simultaneously engaging and genuinely fun to listen to. Actually feels like you're listening to real people rather than people trying to construct an image of a 'respecatable cinephile' for themselves, which is probably the best kind of film criticism you could find. Awesome, awesome stuff.

  • Like listening to your buds goof on one another about movies

    I never miss an episode. These guys bring insight and attitude to the table without the pretentious snobbery you get from “serious critics”. I particularly like the Recommendations portion at the beginning of each episode.

    Three distinct personalities offering up informed opinions on film. Listening to this podcast is like sitting in a room with your buds.

    Keep up the good work guys.

  • Entertaining & informative

    Compelling, non-pretentious discussion that is also highly entertaining. Focus is film but also dives into TV and music (and video games). On my short list of "must listen" podcasts. Only wish they recorded even more frequently! Highly recommended.

#426 : INSIDE OUT 2 & The State of Theaters
Q: What did you think of Inside Out 2 after watching it?
I thought it was fine, but it certainly does not live up to the originality and charm of the first film; it felt more like a fantasy rather than an insightful exploration of inner psychology.

Q: What were your expectations for Inside Out 2?
Expectations were high due to the strength of the first film, which is considered one of the best Pixar films, especially in its later era.
