  • Great discussion, great films...but intrusive ads

    This show is a treat, host Chris Stachiw talks about a wide range of films and he has wonderful guests such as Mike White (The Projection Booth) and Father Malone (Midnight Viewing). Chris' is open to a films' merits and his guests opinion even when he himself doesn't like the film under discussion. And the show is a lot of fun and has introduced me to a lot of films.

    That being said, the ads are very intrusive, they seem to come up randomly (sometimes in the middle of sentence) and its the sa... more

  • A Fast Favorite

    The first time I heard Chris’s voice it scared me. It reminded me of every intellectual bully that talks with authority. But after a few episodes I’m addicted to his insights and the thoughtful attention he gives most of his subjects and his delivery just reinforces his passions. He has great banter with his co-hosts and often delves into topics I hadn’t considered on films I’ve lived with for years. His episode choices are both deep and light so you can pick an episode for what ever mood you’re... more

  • Off the beaten path

    I don’t always see eye-to-eye with the host’s evaluations of the movies —and you know what? That’s absolutely fine because we’re all adults and I learn from it. It’s always a great group of fun reviewers and the real treat is that it’s not always Back to the Future 2 and Raiders of the Lost Ark every episode, you hear about movies no one else is talking about. And a lot of the time I do see eye-to-eye with the host, so there.

"You need to take it down a notch!"
Q: What is your backstory with Dinner in America?
I first discovered it when John Waters put it on his 10 best films of 2020 list.
Magnum Force
Q: What do you think of Magnum Force?
I think the story is good but it meanders too much and there are too many extraneous elements.
Apocalypse Now
Q: Is this a pro-war movie, an anti-war movie, or is it both?
It is both; this movie captures the contradiction of warfare.
The Brutalist
Q: What do you think of Adrian Brody specifically in this movie and his performance?
He disappears in this role. It doesn't feel like this is Adrian Brody as Laszlo Toth. It feels like this is Laszlo Toth.
The Brutalist
Q: What did you think of The Brutalist?
It's a rare movie where I can watch it and feel like I'm watching an adaptation of a book that doesn't exist.
