What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

A fantastic show with the right amount of academic rigor, taste(lessness) and cinephilia. The enthusiasm for film is contagious and just what you need today.

Idthomp · Jul 2026

Very entertaining duo that always find some under discussed topic or interesting angle on a more mainstream topic to discuss.

B1ngb0ngn1ng · Apr 2026

Only a show like this could act as a tour guide as they open so many doors in this Mansion of Cinema (I agree with Will that’s a great saying) I love the condensed nature with episodes being less than an hour and very in depth. Thank you both for making my commutes entertaining and informative!

LiveInTheLowBrow · Jan 2026

The amount that I’ve learned about film from this podcast is insane, I love the crash course approach to every episode, and the hosts are actually very funny people as well! This is the film podcast that truly encourages cinephilia in the best way possible.

Banshee Neet · Sep 2025

I do believe I just listened to two critics who despise the art of criticism. The Kael episode in particular was confounding. I, like so many others, often disagree with Kael but nonetheless value her mind, her spine, and the broader view she urged filmgoers to consider. These two expect Kael, a sharp-minded woman pioneer in a deeply male field, not to voice her astuteness with her full throat…while they show little to no intellectual humility in their own pontifications. No thanks.
