At first glance, “Heel” (released internationally as “The Good Boy”) looks like it might be a grim captivity thriller. A troubled young man is abducted and chained in a basement by a grieving couple. But filmmaker Jan Komasa has something stranger an... more

There’s a specific flavor to a Steve Conrad show. A little awkward. A little hilarious. A little sad. A little dangerous. Sex, lies, murder, and old smut. That tone is back in full force with “DTF: St. Louis,” the HBO Max series that follows adults w... more

There’s a blunt-force clarity to “The Bluff.” Cannons roar, cliffs loom, and survival comes down to grit, guns, and one badass mother who refuses to bend. Directed by Frank E. Flowers, the 19th-century Caribbean thriller follows Ursell (Priyanka Chop... more

There’s a very specific kind of comfort that only “Scrubs” can deliver. It’s the snap‑cut from slapstick to soul‑crushing. The hallway daydream that detonates into real grief. The sense that medicine is both sacred and absurd, and that humor is the o... more

  • Middling and Mercenary

    All these guys seem to do is 1) report the hype and then 2) hedge their bets. The pod is simply two guys riding the coattails of entertainment properties far bigger than they are.

  • Personable, complex, compelling

    Adjust Your Tracking , a segment on The Playlist Podcast Network is incisive and interesting. I watched the movie Annihilation that came out earlier this year, felt so-so about the movie, listened to Joe and Eric talk about it, and then felt good to re-see the themes and formal qualities they discussed. It's a discussion in the fullest sense of the word. They talk casually but thoughtfully, often about the "state of the industry," but always for significant reasons. Can't recommend enough for mo... more

  • Avengers Pod

    Just listened to the Infinity War pod. It was awful. I mean, truly bad. They had no clue what the heck they were talking about. 👎👎👎 and I’m not saying you have to be a huge fanboy to do a pod in the topic but this was just incorrect statement after incorrect statement. So bad.

  • Like.....

    I love you & I love how much you’ve embraced Phantom Thread but dear fellows(s), the deeper voice of this podcast says ‘like’, like every 5 word. It’s almost a relief when the other fellow speaks. With love from somewhere outside America....

  • Great motivational podcast

    I'm not especially a sports fan but I like relatable motivational podcasts. Found this podcast by chance and was drawn in to it within the first 30 seconds. It manages to combine motivation with business and the incredible drive that athletes have that can. We all have that drive that can help us make a success of life but some of us have to dig a bit deeper to find it.
