A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great to have one of my favorites back after about 10 years. Unlike a lot of film podcasts, where you have to go out and see movies in theaters (which I love to do), this one talks about movies on streaming and for those of us who live in rural areas that do not have the theater options that people who live in New York, LA and Chicago, it’s nice to have a podcast that discusses movies that you have access to immediately

The Jones 1234 · Jul 2026

So happy one of my favorite podcasts is back. It was great in its original incarnation, but for me adding Jordan is like when Stern went from Jackie Martling to Artie Lange. Was great as it was, but a new big personality with their own sense of humor and loves (the shoehorned Star Trek references never fail to be hysterical) makes it something completely new. Also, Jordan be the last critic that can like a Woody Allen movie without the need to apologize or feel the need to hate it b/c it hasn’t aged well, and acknowledges some movies “everyone” loves (Moonlight, Nomadland) are good, well made, but they have zero pop culture footprint. No one who doesn’t get paid to watch movies ever brings them up. IMO

I’ve been listening since the very beginning, way back when the Knick’s hadn’t won the NBA Championship. The two hosts are goofy, funny and knowledgeable. I actually like and appreciate the unpolished authenticity of the show. I also quite like Sam’s touches, in particular the music to the open the show and the music to open REC SEG!

Qball'r · Jun 2026

Loved the old show. Somehow love the new show even more. While I miss Allison, Jordan is a welcome addition. The guys are so much fun to listen to, and—because it never takes itself too seriously—it’s a great entry point even for people who don’t traditionally like movie podcasts. Keep up the good work!

Skyvoid · Jun 2026

This is the best podcast out there for finding hidden gems that you have probably missed — movies that are often better than the latest release in theaters that draw from these older movies. Unfortunately there are so many technical issues with their recordings that you’ll be forgiven for having trouble getting through a single episode. Usually it’s worse on Allison’s side, where she sounds like she’s on a Bluetooth headset on spotty cellular phone connection inside an elevator on another continent — which is a shame because her passion and knowledge is contagious.
