  • Unpleasant

    The host Brian has such a deeply unpleasant personality it makes this podcast nearly impossible to listen to. Dull, obnoxious schlub with an inflated ego and a chip on his shoulder.

  • (G)Roan

    I just can’t take Brian anymore. Between the constant diversions into his less-interesting-than-he-thinks-it-is personal life and unnecessary potshots at other writers and outlets, the dude is just a bummer. The two stars are for Robyn. She’s a delight, but she’s saddled with a bad co-host.

  • Barely a single brain cell to rub together between the 3 hosts …

    The hosts are vapid, shallow, and dumb. Borderline proud of their ignorance of film history and the craft of filmmaking and much else. Just insufferable.
