    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

  • Good listen

    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

  • Fantastic Podcast!

    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.

  • Happy 500th episode Ryan and Bev!!!

    It feels like I have wandered in the desert of movie review sites for years since the death of Roger Ebert.

    Every time I think I have found a comfy place to hear and share thoughts on movies some genre or trend emerges that leads me to ask myself “what did I ever see in you “

    After finding and thoroughly enjoying THE TOP 100 PROJECT during COVOD, I now feel like I have a place to call home where I can take a load off and listen to thoughtful movie commentary that gels with my sensibilities. more
