Where Two Thumbs Down with Mike and Ryan ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Oct 20, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Intelligent and hilarious hosts Mike and Ryan finally dethrone the critical tyranny of Siskel and Ebert by revisiting some classic (and classically bad) film gems that maybe deserve another chance, especially after receiving disturbing and perverted critiques from the big thumbsters. If you like movies, comedy, or like to root for the underdog, look no further. You’re home.
Two stars! As in, Mike and Ryan are two absolute stars doing a five star podcast! Really enjoying this great pod about movies! I love that Mike and Ryan have such differing views. Ryan usually takes the side of being correct about a movie being good and Mike usually defends his wrong opinion about a movie being bad, but who knows, you may lean more on Mike’s side. Their dynamic reminds me a lot of these two film critics I used to watch on TV in the 90s, I can’t remember their names.
