Frames Per Second - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The crew is large and rotates so many good hosts to almost fit the topic, they’re always funny and sound like casual friends discussing movies with some members offering more technical critique

Love the content. Appreciate the hard work you all have put into growing your platform. Grown to listen to ITMSO and FPS more than what got me into y’all, album reviews. Basically if you guys review an album, I’ll check it out regardless but I love the insights into culture on your podcasts.

Would love to see a review of Blade Runner 2049 on here, with all the dystopia going on currently. Keep up the great work, guys!

This is the best podcast I’ve listened to. I find myself listening to reviews of movies i haven’t even watched. The cast here are awesome at putting things into different perspectives and really breaking down the movies to make It make more sense or less sense. The cast really puts in the work and are hilarious. I love this podcast!

Surprisingly great convos and insightful perspectives. Everyone seems to have a deep understanding of cinematic mediums. Great job! Love this podcast

So, I only listened to one podcast and actually couldn’t listen to all of it so this is based off my initial impression which isn’t good. The three hosts constantly talk over one another which makes any movie review difficult to follow. The audio quality is atrocious and the movie that was reviewed wasn’t even a review. It was merely phrases “I ain’t mad at it” which brings nothing to the table. On top of that, it was evident the hosts weren’t prepared to discuss the movie they had just watched since they didn’t know the setting which as presented early on in the film. Therefore, I am confused by the ratings that praise this. Again, maybe it was the one episode I chose to listen. Unfortunately, this podcast isn’t for me.

I was really disappointed in the analysis of “X” and especially “Pearl”. The hosts talked about being unsatisfied by the lack of "answers" Pearl provied. I don't think it's about that. It's about painting the landscape and building context. There doesn't have to be an explicit "why". Pearl’s psychopathic behavior is shaped and brought to a head from her experience as a woman of that time. She was brought up in a repressed household- her parents being first generation German immigrants, and a repressed society plagued by pandemic and war. The hosts talked about why pearl didn’t explain the “sex stuff” in X but you have to fill in the blanks. Think about the scarecrow scene.. think about how the projectionist showed her a pornographic film for the first time.. and now think about the conservatism of the time Pearl grew up in addition to the restraints her mother imposed on her, and how she ultimately never escaped it. It was my first time listening to this podcast- I picked it after skimming a few other podcast descriptions after reading that FPS had in depth discussion I clicked. I was let down…. It all felt like a really subjective read with no real critical lens or context.
