Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy that is a real trip. What if they used the same cast as Pretty Woman and made it about a bad columnist and just a small town woman who can't stop running away from this mid-as-hell men! Most importantly, the Virtual... more
Four Weddings and a Funeral is like a Rom Com for the apathetic Gen X generation. It feels similar to Saint Elmo's fire, but stars a group of friends who are not so miserable. The movie follows a group of friends, with Hugh Grant in the center, and t... more
Welcome to Rom Com month! We're kicking this off with Shakespeare in Love. A movie that won Best Picture back when it was released because Harvey Weinstein poured a ton of money into promoting it. Or is it actually because it's a good movie? Ethan an... more
Ethan got Gran Turismo, a video game movie, into racing month?! He sure did and to his surprise, it's very very similar to F1, but with a key difference. It's actually based off a true story. Orlando Boom and David Harbour star in this epic tale of a... more

These jabronis reviewed the same James Bond movie three times, gave three completely different plot summaries and ratings, and made me think about how her day was going. A+ keep up the good work.
In a world saturated with stuffy movie review podcasts that all feel more or less the same, The Other Half has managed to break from convention and capture my interest.
The premise itself is interesting and entertaining, but Mike and Ethan really bring life to the party. Listening to them try to piece together the ending and grasp for context is hilarious, especially when something suddenly makes sense to one of them. It's clear these two are good friends, and when I listen, I feel like I'm par... more
I watched the first underworld when I was a kid. Idk how they are still making them!
One day I couldn’t find my keys. Then I turned on this podcast and shortly after, I found my keys. Who knows what else this podcast can help me find. The approval and love I’ve always craved from my father? True love? The meaning of life??
Both the host are great and the concept of one guy watching one half of the movie really sets this podcast apart from other movie podcasts
