  • Am I the only one…

    Who has tried to give this program a fare shake time and again, drawn in by its movie titles, cultural caché and knowledgeable guests, only to be astonished by Simmons’ casual misogyny? To discuss favourite serial killers (who victimized women) and then lament not seeing Marilyn Burns’ breasts during her torture scenes in TCM is just the latest incident that made listening to this impossible.

  • Where’s Sean?

    they used to have on this guy named Sean, who really understood movies, but I guess him and Bill had a falling out, so now he’s not allowed back on anymore. Kind of sucks.

  • Hard to listen to

    This podcast was hard to listen to. Half the tome they arent talking about the actual movie. They just talk about anything that comes to mind- no connection at al. They are very sexist and conversations regularly veer off to objectifying womens bodie. They bring no new insigh, perspective and a really haphazard “overview” thats not linear nor cohesive.

  • TCM episode

    Just an appalling lack of knowledge about the production and details of the film. There is a recent film on the production. There are multiple books. It’s lazy. This show, along with most Ringer shows, is slipping. It’s become more about the self-satisfaction and privilege of the talking heads.

‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan
