David Chen has never had an interesting thing to say about movies, television, or anything at all.
Been listening to this pod since day one. We were all in our 20s. Now we’re all in our 40s🤷🏽. Good show.
Have been listening for years, love the show
Always entertaining and reliable film and TV commentary. My favourite crew to listen to. They present a variety of opinions in a relatable and amusing way.
Jeff Cannata is one of the most insufferable, obnoxious, most self-important people I have ever listened to. This guy is on a film review podcast and refuses to watch trailers. He wants you to know that he cries during every movie. He moved to Colorado from California and wants everyone to know it, as if it’s a progressive badge of honor.

A lively, opinionated roundtable on recent film and TV, mixing sharp analysis with playful banter. Episodes often hinge on craft and context—biopics, blockbusters, and franchise storytelling—while weaving in industry trends, marketing, and occasional spoiler-filled takes. The trio balance technical critique with personal anecdotes, and headlines or politics occasionally color the conversation, making it soccer-moot in tone yet accessible for movie lovers and industry observers alike. A standout trait is mixing deep cinematic analysis with broad pop culture chatter and frequent sponsor reads between segments, which can help sponsors reach highly engaged, nerdy-audience listeners who value expertise and personality in equal measure.
