  • Scott please stop commenting on women and how they look

    I love the podcast. Have been listening for years. Your kingslingers series will be one I forever repeat. But I have to say, Scott please stop commenting on women looks. Two recent examples (recent examples of many) best 21 of the 21st series Edge of Tomorrow episode where you comment on Emily Blunt. Why. It didn’t add anything to the discussion. To the point where Matt doesn’t even respond which is the only right response. O Brother Where Art Thou episode where you comment on Veronica Lake at t... more

  • Good Podcast - as long as they also liked that movie you loved

    I generally like and enjoy this podcast. The hosts are engaging and interesting to listen to, and when they like a movie, the dissection of its themes is usually excellent.

    …That being said, it’s a completely different show when they don’t like a movie. Despite obviously knowing that art is subjective, and even often clearly expressing that something just wasn’t “for them” they can become relentless and even mean if they personally didn’t like a movie. Woe betide the film that neither of them l... more
