Apple Podcasts5SpamGirlFanGirlUnited States5 years ago - Thought-provoking
This podcast inspired me to check out many documentaries I would have never seen. A smart look at an underappriciated film genre!
Apple Podcasts5seamooseUnited States5 years ago - Hilarious, Fun, & Informative
I love listening to these guys, they've introduced me to dozens of documentaries that I never would have watched otherwise.
Apple Podcasts5bedtime champUnited States5 years ago - This is a podcast that I love
Love this podcast so much, so informative.
Apple Podcasts5Comedy JewsUnited States6 years ago - Hit and miss.
I really enjoyed the Kid Icarus episode. When this podcast is good, its an interesting listen. However some episodes go off track a little too much, especially when their guest talk about themselves or topics that have nothing to do with the doc being reviewed.
Still I would give it a shot.

United Kingdom6 years ago - Okay, not great
A lot of unnecessary opinions. “I’d like to learn more about Epstein’s financial crimes in this.” Okay, well, it’s about victims, not about the abuser. If you’re examining this doc, how about being able, like any film student, to identify the makers’ goal, and then analyze how well the goal was achieved, rather than assuming any of us care about what you’d personally rather see. Or, at least, separating those two topics: what you would have preferred; what was accomplished juxtaposed with you... more
Apple Podcasts3meghansolo11United States6 years ago - One of the BEST
As a doc filmmaker, I’ve been listening for years, and I enjoy it so much! Smart. Insightful. Entertaining.
Apple Podcasts5bengarcharUnited States6 years ago - Really funny and great film analysis
Love documentaries and comedy. Rare to find one with both. Love Paco and George
Apple Podcasts5Kramerica2012United States6 years ago - At least watch the film before review.
Was hit or miss for me, listened as it's always interesting to hear other perspectives on doc films. I unsubscribed when one of them only watched 20 minutes of 'the legend of cocaine island' before the review then descended into toilet talk for no reason. No thanks.
Apple Podcasts1indigochameleonUnited Kingdom7 years ago - good stuff
great guys
Apple Podcasts5Josef2012United States7 years ago - I stopped listening
I stopped listening when they mocked the republican that wrote in. Yes, I agree that less than 50% of your listeners are conservatives as of today.
