Certified cinephile cuties Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon are here to guide plebs and idiots alike through the world of arthouse cinema. This podcast serves as a spark notes version for those who do not care to watch these movies. Through a highly developed proprietary system called "The Fartsy Test," Casey and Patrick determine on a 10 point scale just how unbearably impenetrable and boring a given arthouse film is. Tune in every week and gain the social currency of talking like a snobbish a*****e. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did.

What started as a curious peek into a work colleague’s creative project has now turned into complete and utter fandom! My only wish is that it came out every day, like The Daily by the New York Times. Yes, I need the Fartsy Test like I need the news! I am now invested in every family member, every reality show, and every craft beer they discuss and I can’t help it! They are truly the only men making a film podcast that I can stand. Five stars!!

First time listener. Good show, good content. Funny banter, very good chemistry. More Audio clips from the film would have been amazing. I’ve seen this movie 3 times and it offers me something everytime. It’s horrifying and repulsive to see the demeaning and cruel things these adult men put these teens thru. I would have liked to hear a little more about the special features this release come with, especially the deleted scenes, the 3 extra endings, and there’s a great interview with Pasolini talking on set while in the background you see a setup.

Behold! The greatest film podcast in the universe! Casey and Patrick/peanut/the little dude/the bundler deliver expert conversations week after week on the artsiest fartsiest movies of all time. Nowhere else will you be able to find juicy behind the scenes stories of your favorite art house directors, such the time when one of the hosts saw Alfonso Cuarón get lost in a parking lot or the time one of the host’s parents almost ran over Terrence Malick with a car. This show has it all!

I honestly don’t watch any of the movies they talk about but it’s so much fun hearing them talk about it that it doesn’t matter! I look forward to it every Tuesday!
