Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!

Dodsworth is the feature attraction in this 728th talk on Have You Ever Seen, but then there was an unexpected 2nd review in this episode. I spent 10 or 12 minutes on the George Arliss 1929 Oscar-winner, Disraeli…the one about the late-1800s British ... more
In what will become a trend for at least the next little while, I've got 2 reviews in one episode here in podcast #727. First, I detail my favourite moments, lines and scenes in Wolfgang Petersen's In The Line Of Fire. John Malkovich has rarely been ... more
Sinners and One Battle After Another finally got to lock up on the biggest awards stage there is...and they both got plenty of gold. PTA won 3 trophies and his One Battle got the top Oscars (Picture and Director, plus 4 others), but the record-breaki... more
One day after the 2026 Academy Awards and right smack in the middle of Oscar Month is the one that won its own 4 trophies 25 years ago. A Beautiful Mind is a touching love story about a real-life paranoid schizophrenic: Nobel-Prize winner John Nash (... more

Been a listener for years, I thought I wrote a review years ago but I didn’t! So sorry Ryan! I moved from US to London and I’m never alone whilst I have great podcasts like this. I grew up reading movie reviews and celebrity bios from the early 1900s on. When I watch a movie, I always watch the credits until the end. My taste is eclectic and wide-ranging including international films, all from the start of filmmaking. This scratches lots of itches. Ryan (and earlier, Bev) have provided useful a... more
When they’re in their wheelhouse, it’s a great listen. Certain movies are just a great fit for them to review, but if they happen to not like a movie, boy, do they pout and nag. I think there’s this balance that movie podcasts need to adhere to, in regards to opinion and information. And often, they let their personal opinions of movies really prevent them from just being objective, especially when it comes to morality. They’re not as bad as many of the other podcasts, but they can get really pe... more
I found this show while wanting to take a deep dive on a particular title, and found it an enjoyable enough listen that I’m working my way through their back catalog of episodes. Bev is ostensibly the sidekick but she really makes the show a worth listening to. She’s witty and knowledgeable and well-read, so her insights are fresh and interesting. I don’t like it when Ryan sings. A nightmare.
Knew I'd stumbled into a twitch-leftist podcast when heroes of 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (Harmonica, Sergio Leone) were derided for Harmonica 'me-too-ing' Jill, forcefully ripping her sleeves and tearing off her collar.
Attention, childlike floaters [spoilers]: Harmonica knew Frank had assassins outside waiting for Jill, so he arranged appearances and Jill's fear/demeanor, setting them up to ride into his trap and be killed, saving the life of Jill — a woman he didn't harm at any point in ... more
This is truly one of the best podcasts that talk about old movies - really informative and also very funny at times. The married hosts have remarkable chemistry and it's just a real joy listening to them. It's an added bonus that they are fellow Canadians! I recommend this podcast highly to anyone who loves old movies.

Two hosts share an unabashed passion for classic cinema, blending deep film history, AFI-list context, and thoughtful critique with sharp humor and personal storytelling. Episodes routinely unpack production trivia, historical reception, and cultural impact of beloved (and oft-challenging) films, while also weaving in contemporary comparisons and editorial takes. The show stands out for its lively chemistry between the co-hosts, meticulous research, and a habit of tying movies to broader social and historical conversations, making it a rich listen for cinephiles and industry-types alike. Audiences likely appreciate the mix of nostalgia, rigorous analysis, and entertaining banter, with occasional spicy opinions that spark discussion rather t... more
