    Those who can, do. Those who can’t, critique.

    To all of the actual filmmakers out there, keep making films and ignore all the noise from those not brave enough to walk the walk.

  • A different take on the latest films

    I sometimes listen and enjoy the podcast but often the presenters seem to think that their opinions are the only ‘true ones’. A tad pretentious at times too.

    I appreciate they don’t love the Marvel cinematic universe, which bores me too but I’d just like the presenters to lighten up a bit!

  • The Movie Bro Antitode

    The critics here more than anywhere understand that a movie is supposed to be art and that they’re supposed to move you, in any number of ways, whether through humor or drama or spectacle. They talk about interesting movies in an interesting way. A more feminine perspective on movies in the best way - bucks against a lot of the biggest and most American impulses of much of cinema today. Necessary podcast.
