  • Timely and Timeless

    As an amateur film fanatic, Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide was a staple of my journey from adolescent to adulthood. This Movie Guide was the definitive Movie Guide during my time as a Video Store Manager in the UK in the 90’s, Leonard Maltin was the perfect companion piece to ensure that we gave the best possible service to our patrons. Ratings ranged from **** for the very best to BOMB for the very worst.

    This podcast is like revisiting an old friend and there’s a great chemistry between Maltin a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

George Lucas
Q: How important is Lucas's influence on the broader film industry beyond his own films?
The speakers suggest his impact is foundational, from creating ILM to enabling a new culture of franchised storytelling and technological innovation that reshaped Hollywood's capabilities.
Maltin Mailbag #02 - The Relevance Of Critics, Most Tense Interview and more!
Q: With anyone able to share their thoughts on a film, does the role of a critic still matter as much today as it did 20-30 years ago?
The speakers acknowledge that while the traditional gatekeeping role of critics has diminished due to online and self-publishing platforms, there is still a need for knowledgeable voices that offer context, justification for opinions, and a trusted point of view.
Marty Supreme
Q: How do you pitch Marty Supreme to a casual moviegoer?
Compare it to Uncut Gems for wild energy and to The Wolf of Wall Street for the hard-charging, risky, almost punk-rock vibe, while highlighting its unique 1950s NYC setting and the Safdie brothers' maximalist style.
Tom Hanks
Q: As reviewers, did you both find it difficult to give him a negative review on a performance if you weren't a big fan?
Not difficult, as even undesirable performances felt more like miscasting than bad acting.
Most Anticipated Films Of 2026
Q: What films are you most excited for in 2026?
The hosts share their top picks, including 'The Bride', 'Toy Story 5', and 'Disclosure Day'.
