    May very well be the most hilarious episode of your canon. I’ve never seen The Nutcracker and the Four Realms but intend to do so. The original ballet is important to me, and so is this podcast. Thank you!

  • Pretentious, boring, narrow minded

    I listened to this pod for quite sometime, never understanding on what authority either of them had on the topic, but when they said Halle Berry’s Oscar was merely a gift of affirmative action, I realized they are not people I want to support. I really love the concept of this show but they are severely limited in the types of movies they discuss and actors they know anything about. They know nothing about classic movies or ANYTHING about actors of color and their films. With the amount of arrog... more

  • Mixed Bag

    I’ve been a loyal THOB listener for years. The in-depth and well informed examinations of the films and their respective roll outs is undeniable. The hosts however can leave a bad taste in your mouth. Opinions are subjective and everyone is entitled to their own but I’m sad to say that often the dialogue shared on the show turns pretentious and quite nasty when discussing certain films. Film Critics have a job like the rest of us but sadly the podcast does little to erase our image of Film Criti... more

  • Great podcast

    I love the sheer amount of knowledge these two have regarding movies and the Oscars. Been a Gary for a few years now but I gotta say, as a non-young person, that Joe’s incessant dunking on “youth culture”/old man yells at cloud-ness is never fun to listen to and has put me off from finishing episodes because of how needlessly negative/out of touch it comes across. Chris is always able to divert the conversation back to what the podcast does best but it’s a shame that “young people” is the hill J... more

  • Good show overall

    The podcast is good but the films should have Oscar buzz - the meddler did not - if you are going to do an off episode then essentially say this should have had Oscar buzz and say why it didn’t

    Sometimes the games are not fun for the listener

    I don’t understand how you do an Oscar podcast and don’t understand how Oscar voting works

    Please stop talking about pop music - you are annoying about it
