What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

In my long search for a good literary/movie analytical podcast, a couple of things kept ruining it for me, & keeping me continuing my search until now. 1. Shows that start off trying to be more of a comedy/morning show than what I came to the podcast to hear. While I love charisma, and good humor, spending the first 15 min cutting up about things off topic, that really doesn’t seem relevant, or even funny. 2. Microphones! Omg…so many of these podcasts have more than one host, or they’ll have a guest, and someone’s mic (or how far away they are from it) causes me to turn up the volume, only to be blasted by the other guy’s mic a minute later This show is tuned right to my tastes. They have charisma, personality, & the humor is not only relevant to the topic, but flows naturally, thus, we all can laugh along. Also, they have a great formula of going through the movies, rating etc. Just found this show a couple days ago, and I’m already sold. I’ll close on topic with my TOP 6 films in ABC order: 1. National Lampoon’s Vacation 2. Rocky 3. Saturday Night Fever 4. Sixteen Candles 5. Sling Blade 6. The Shining SIDE NOTE: It’s obvious I’m older, 54 to be exact. Rocky is my all time fave movie; and I’d rank Rocky Balboa & Rocky 2 (which I saw first in the theatres as a kid) as close seconds to it.

I am a little late to listening to podcasts, but found The Confused Breakfast by accident. I started from the beginning and I am currently listening to The Legend of Billie Jean. I grew up watching this movie in a rotation with Dirty Dancing and Satisfaction! I love hearing your takes on how the movies progress and how much you all love so many of the actors that we have lost throughout the years! Thanks so much for the laughs, it helps me get through my day while at work!

As a movie obsessed teenager, I often hyper fixate on movies and want to learn more about them. Unfortunately, most movie podcasts are a bunch of 1.sticks in the mud who hate genuinely good movies and are just probably depressed or 2. Can’t go 5 seconds without reminding you of their crazy political ideas. (I’m not joking. I once listened to a podcast where instead of talking about the little mermaid, they talked about how much they hate the police) I love how much fun these guys have with stuff, without getting off topic. I am very grateful that they also touch on all aspects of the movie. Whether it’s lighting, or theories about The Shining, these guys CLEARLY do their research.

Poochie’s not dead · May 2026

I’m an avid listener of all sorts of podcasts. Long to short - this is my go-to. Lighthearted. Fun. Relatable. A break from the world. And most importantly - all our favorite movies and nostalgia.

Used to really enjoy this podcast, but lately it’s been mostly nitpicky improv and not a whole lot of discussion about the actual movie.
