Battleship Pretension is a podcast that represents the kind of conversations that film geeks have when they get together. There are strong opinions, in-jokes, obscure references, and wild tangents. And, since Tyler and David are two of the sharpest wits ever fused together, there are laughs aplenty.

Review and Insight you can Disagree with and Enjoy

If you enjoy discussing movies you love and hate but can't find the time to hook up with friends on a regular enough basis, then I recommend listening in on Tyler and David. The format is casual, combative and informative. Do they go off on tangents? Absolutely, but that is the fun of it. They know their stuff so you can learn a thing or two about films. Hop on board the Battleship.

Great Film Podcast!

A fun and insightful conversation between two clearly passionate cinephiles. Although not always the most focused podcast, in that they get into a lot of tangents often their tangential conversations provide further movie related knowledge and fun to my ears. Frankly I probably would enjoy listening to Tyler and David talk about anything but when they really get into a movie topic it doesn't get much better than that. Maybe not my favourite entertainment related podcast I would recommend this to anybody who enjoys listening to people who truly enjoys movies and wants to raise the discourse of movie criticism!

Favorite Film Podcast

Don't let the show title or accusations of snobbery stop you from listening to this podcast. There's an easy-going earnestness displayed by the hosts that will make newcomers to the podcast (or film) feel at ease. They're both also very intelligent, so the film nerd (or wannabe like myself) will find engaging discussion during the episodes.

More than just 5 star reviews here.
