  • Consistently Fantastic

    Watch/Skip+ is legitimately one of my favorite and most listened to podcasts. The movie reviews are thoughtful and researched while being balanced with off-the-cuff observations that keep the show entertaining and fun to listen to.

    When it comes to this podcast, it’s always a watch! Never a skip!

  • Great Show

    Love how the host tell it like it is. Not only do you get great reviews of the latest movies but you get some insight to some other media that's come out lately with the plus. Listening sometimes feels like having those great conversations about movies with close friends, and sometimes feels like a very entertaining lesson about things you never thought about.

  • A wonderful review show with creators who know their movie history. It's a great way to learn about new movies in theaters and you get a great gauge as to whether you should watch that movie or skip it. Plus, they add a little something extra from the other thinks that they like; it makes for great listening.

  • Jose and Justin . . . together at last.

    I have enjoyed conversations with both Jose and Justin online, on social media and in private messages, so I know their film knowledge is wide and varied. Coming together for a podcast is a great move, as they work really well together. It’s just a shame that the emphasis seems to be on the latest releases, meaning I often have to delay listening until I can get the films watched myself first (because I do hate hearing spoilers before seeing a film).

Episode 159: Scream 7
Q: Ryan, spoiler-free thoughts on Scream 7. What did you think of this?

Q: Did you think the trauma elements were handled subtly or too on the nose?
Pat and the co-hosts discuss that while some viewers may find the trauma motif heavy, the pregnancy, maternal guilt, and the audio tape device are integrated as thematic undercurrents rather than obvious shocks, with debate about the effectiveness of the payoff.
