  • Awful

    They are very immature and don’t have a basis to be reviewing movies that are not cartoons. I couldn’t get through the knives out episode. If you don’t know anything about movies then they’re fine.

  • Some thoughtful Film reviews

    This is a biweekly, The Big Picture- aspiring film review podcast which tries to discuss new films in context. Often they go back and discuss older, related films.

    They do often bring politics into... more

The love triangle worked better for me emotionally, especially at the end where Chalamet's character loses something true to himself.
