  • Incredible movie analysts.

    I’v been listening to John and Steve for years, and while the guys and I do have some differences, they have a wonderful way of analyzing and discussing movies. I really enjoy their deep dives, Season of…, and occasional tangents. Really one of my favorite podcasts.

  • Excellent Show

    I have listened to many episodes of this podcast, and I always get something out of it. They go into a lot of depth on each movie, bringing in their viewpoints as well as a lot of information about the making of the film, etc. thank you Steve and John for all the insights. You’ve brought me a better appreciation for or even shifted my mind about some of my favorite films.

  • I overall enjoy this podcast, but since they've started dissecting movies over three episodes it's become a less essential listen for me. The best podcasts involve a lot of discussion of movie making. The worst ones degenerate into discussions of human nature and other topics less interesting to me. Sometimes elongating content doesn't make it better.

  • I love this show, but I'm concerned as they haven't dropped a new episode in about a month, hope all is well and that they can get back to creating!
