  • Good but specific caveat

    This is a unique podcast with an awesome premise. They pair older movies in conversation and connection with new movies, that make for interesting, deep analysis. They come with wide knowledge of film and literature history that make for fun and engaging listening. I have some nits I could pick about how sometimes despite there being four hosts, they can miss plot or psychological details or they themselves can get stuck on something that derails the conversation a bit but I can’t claim I would... more

    is there a german word for finding a movie pod that’s not two straight guys beavis and butthead chuckle-grunting at each other, only to discover it’s made by sexless dorks who can’t even connect the boob joke at the top of the show on dracula, or understand suspended reality in a folklore setting, or edit out sputtering starts and stops and fragmented interjections? there’s gotta be a word for how promising & then disappointing this show feels.

  • Great Idea

    This podcast devises a great plan for revisiting classic films or forgotten oddities or masterpieces. They prompted me to watch some old films, like “An American in Paris” and “The Thief of Baghdad”.

    At the same time, the discussion of movies often gets needlessly picky, digressing into mocking little moments in the film while laughing insufferably. I am thinking especially of Tasha Robinson, one of the co hosts, who often misses the broader emotional movement of a film and just complains about... more

  • Seemed like it had potential

    I always look forward to interesting analysis of movies of the past, however, I’m often disappointed by everyone in the space being woke. Absolutely trashing some of the greatest movies ever through this lens of representation. It’s all just pretentious and a bit too much.
