  • Praising Bradley Cooper while calling Park Chan-Wook Boring

    The latest ep covering No Other Choice & Is This Thing On BROKE ME! Y’all have some truly awful taste if think the stand up in ITTO is funny and No Other Choice was “boring.” The hosts are simultaneously Smug AND ignorant to subtext. Astonishing stuff.

    Just stop talking about art.

    I will admit I only listened to one episode because I was looking for discussions about ‘When Evil Lurks’ but what I got was an obnoxious guy explaining the plot dropping f-bombs every other word while the woman laughed loudly. So hey… maybe that’s your thing.

  • One of the Best

    There are a lot of film and tv podcasts out there. Most of them are just a couple of people talking about movies they love. That’s cool. But it is very hard to find a movie podcast that goes beyond just banter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #612: "The Drama" and "Pretty Lethal"
Q: What did you think about how the two films balance humor with darker themes?
The Drama uses humor early on to build goodwill with the characters, which makes the later tense revelations hit harder, while Pretty Lethal leans into action and campy brutality to keep the energy high even as the plot reveals get heavier.
Episode 532: "Rez Ball" and "In the Summers"
Q: What did you think of 'In The Summers'?
I found this movie incredibly moving and heartbreaking, with exceptional performances.
