  • May 2026 series!

    Great voice acting episode. But I was waiting for a comment on the uncredited Kim Stanley narration in To Kill A Mockingbird…

  • They deserve this thank you:

    Thanks for getting into politics a little on Turbulent Brilliance. If not now, when? Affirming to hear.

    Fun and engaging conversations. It feels like they know EVERYTHING about movies, until the games at the end and you’re yelling answers at your phone. Subscriber and the value is so worth it. Proud to be a certified Gary! 🖤

    I enjoy the conversations whether or not I’ve seen the movie. It makes me more excited to seek them out.

  • Exceptionally great podcast to binge

    Every single episode of this podcast has been a delight! The earnestness and knowledge that Chris, Joe, and their sporadic guests share for the topics discussed is refreshing and fun to listen to. Currently listening to ep 192 with guest Adam B. Vary, and I love how they discussed the EW Spring Movie Preview magazine issue in detail. I’ve also never heard Chris laugh as hard as he did when Joe guessed “My Big Fat Greek Baby” during the IMDb game. This podcast should be listened to by everyone!

  • Episode 386, Contagion

    This podcast is an immediate go-to every single Monday. I love you guys.

    Only nitpick I’d have would be: Joe- WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. And stop saying “like” incessantly.

    This is meant to be constructive, not trolling. Five stars always. Thanks you two.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

391 – The BFG (with Kyle Amato!)
Q: What makes The BFG feel so unlike other Spielberg films?
The panel agrees that disconnect lies in the way the film handles language, tone, and the creature design, which strips away the gnarly charm of the Roald Dahl world and lacks a clear emotional throughline that grounds Spielberg's work.
363 – Super 8
Q: What do you make of this, the still of Alana Heim in the black wig becoming this meme?
It's funny because we will figure out a way to meme literally anything.
332 – Snowpiercer (with Bilge Ebiri!)
Q: What got you on the Snowpiercer beat so fervently back in 2013, 2014?
Bilge mentioned that he had been following Bong Joon-ho’s career for a while and was very excited for Snowpiercer, which led him to write extensively about it.
318 – My Policeman (with Katey Rich!)
Q: Do the gladiator twinks sing As Long As You're Mine to each other?
There is a humorous suggestion that they might, and the image of them at a piano is invoked.
BONUS – A sneak peek at Demi, Myself, & I – GHOST (with Bobby Finger!)
Q: What are your earliest impressions or memories of seeing Demi Moore movies or your impression of her as a movie star growing up?
The first time I ever saw her in anything was Ghost because my parents really liked it.
