I enjoy the hell out of these guys. First heard of Bibbs when he guested on Breakfast All Day, and this is another smart, insightful film criticism pod to stand alongside Linoleum Knife and Breakfast All Day. Recommended!

stoutbr · Jul 2026

These guys know their stuff. They do thorough analyses of each film and Critically Acclaimed is a great companion piece to Linoleum Knife and Breakfast All Day (my other two favorite movie podcasts). They also dedicate hours and hours of their time on their Patreon site and respond to their listeners in detail if you send them a letter. Excellent podcast!

Kruegs303 · Nov 2024

Whit and Bibs are a lot of fun! They give great reviews of movies and provide interesting background on the movies they review. I really enjoy the Iron List episodes. Definitely check out this podcast!

Natesgrate · Aug 2024

I dropped in on a Minus One episode. I was surprised that some criticisms Bib had were somewhat changed because of moments he missed in the film. Many of these were not minor moments that could be missed if you blinked or looked away. These were important, like the final moment. He didn’t even remember it. This is disappointing because there are several points where this is the case. This gives the impression that he didn’t care to pay much attention, potentially because of biases he already had from his first viewing. “I’ve already seen it” vibes. If you don’t care to pay attention to the film you’re discussing, why should the listener care to hear your thoughts on it?
