Great show with fun hosts I listen all the time! Thank you!
Yeah, I’m thinking’s it’s the best podcast
Big fan of the show, especially the sliding scale of what a perfect movie is. Keep up the good work, gang!
Two stars! As in, Mike and Ryan are two absolute stars doing a five star podcast! Really enjoying this great pod about movies! I love that Mike and Ryan have such differing views. Ryan usually takes the side of being correct about a movie being good and Mike usually defends his wrong opinion about a movie being bad, but who knows, you may lean more on Mike’s side. Their dynamic reminds me a lot of these two film critics I used to watch on TV in the 90s, I can’t remember their names.
Love Ryan and Matt. Great Pod

Two hosts, Mike and Ryan, discuss a rotating lineup of films that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert famously panned, pairing two titles per episode and unpacking performance, writing, and behind-the-scenes context. The show blends lively banter with sharp critique, exploring why these movies were dismissed and whether they still merit a second look. Across episodes, the hosts' dynamic—often playful, always opinionated—drives thoughtful debates about genre, era, and cultural impact, making obscure picks feel accessible and entertaining for movie nerds and casual watchers alike. A notable strength is the guests and spark they bring in to broaden perspectives on specific eras or franchises, keeping conversations fresh while retaining a consistent, i... more
