  • HOOKED!

    I just discovered these guys! I have always loved cinema. My genre is definitely horror. I have even found some almost underground horror because of their knowledge. Over the past few month I have probably listened to 20 or more. I try and watch the movie right after listening to the podcast. Today I watched Casablanca for the first time. Their insight are not only the movies themselves, but the casting, directors down to costume design. I am absolutely HOOKED! And they’re “easy on the ea... more

  • Please stop saying “literally”

    As a team, you literally said “literally” literally 27 times during the otherwise-awesome “Star Wars - “A New Hope” episode. At least once it was said twice in one sentence. You can’t say a character is “literally riding a horse” when he is riding a tauntaun. He is literally riding a tauntaun. About 25% of the “litterally”s were used appropriately, but literal means literal. You can’t “literally” be blown away unless a gust of wind moves you a significant distance. I love the show. Not literally... more

  • The Height of Know-It-All Pretension

    Are you looking for a movie review podcast hosted by a couple of incredibly pretentious, know-it-all film snobs? Then this is the show for you! Matt & Jessie know more about movies than you & they’re out to prove it. Or so they think…

    I used to think that The Mads were the snobbiest film reviewers out there until I listened to these two. Trace & Frank have nothing on those two. They’re, at least funny & entertaining while being film snobs. These two are just boring & haughty. Skip this.

  • Wow! THE movie podcast

    I just discovered these guys but I can already tell you this is the pinnacle of movie podcasts. From the stellar breakdown to their sense of humor, their back and forth witty banter makes the daily commute and work day zoom by. If you wanna get in the weeds with films you love, look no further. And to quote their own rating system, this is TOP SHELF material.

  • Knowledgeable yet Accessible

    Matt and Jesse clearly know their stuff, and each has their specialty, but their analysis and commentary are approachable even for the casual film fan. I look forward to listening every week!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Superman (2025)
Q: What do you think of the portrayal of Lois Lane in this movie?
The portrayal is refreshing and shows a more complex relationship with Superman, contrasting with earlier, more simplistic depictions.
The Untouchables (1987)
Q: What's your favorite tasting note, moment, or scene of The Untouchables?
I really enjoy the artistic expression in the church of the hands and the motives that are representing our two lead protagonists. It's really well done.
The Untouchables (1987)
Q: What's a bigger revelation, how pro Brian De Palma this podcast is after all this time, or how anti The Conjuring this podcast is?
That's another big revelation as well, right? Is how much we liked those on initial viewing and then sitting there with Rye Goggles was like, wait a minute, this is ridiculous.
The Untouchables (1987)
Q: What do you think of Mr. Connery in his very thick Scottish accent as the Irish Malone?
I love it and you almost wonder if the litmus test on this is he's got such a stick up his ass that he gives Ness grief about sort of hanging out, looking into the water after this terrible failure.
Casablanca (1942)
Q: How does Ingrid Bergman's character impact the storyline?
Ilsa serves as a catalyst for Rick's transformation, representing both his lost love and his moral conflict in a world overshadowed by war.
