A critic that hasn’t watched Severance?! Embarrassing.

United Statesa month ago - Great podcast, don’t listen to the haters.
Too many people hate their mums, seriously, what Freudian mishap would make someone take 3 minutes of their very short life to contribute ABSOLUTELY nothing to the world by putting that review out there. Anyways, great pod, always well researched, the team gives a spread of opinions so you know who to (and not to) invite with you to the movies. Keep it up team!

Australiaa month ago - It’s Fine
Don’t get me wrong, they have a decent show. But I feel like this show is almost unlistenable without Chris Ryan, who isn’t even a host. And them being overly critical about the Avengers Doomsday trailer was ridiculous.

I love them both
Apple Podcasts5Al5420United Statesa month ago - Fun film podcast
Rating five stars for many reasons, mainly bc this is a reliably fun movie podcast and episodes are long! ✨
Disgusted to see the personal, hateful, misogynistic bullying in the guise of “reviews.” I hope there’s zero tolerance for this behavior on the podcast’s socials.
