The only podcast I listen to religiously. Amidst the overcrowded and often overwhelming medium, I find in VIDIOTS a reliable, knowledgeable, and consistently entertaining source of movie debates.
The hosts, Clay and Ryan, keep a laissez faire attitude towards the show’s format, which provides for a dynamic hour/hour and a half week in, week out. Highlights include the #AllTheirMovies series, in which a filmmaker’s entire filmography is dissected; and the bi-yearly Draft, a type of Risk-like competition culminating in a “best films of the summer/year” list. These series usually feature guests, a great choice that keeps the debates lively and reenergizes the podcast.
Clay and Ryan also showcase a genuine passion for all types of cinema and an ever present desire to expand their cinematic sensibilities. You might not always agree with them, but their reasoning is always clear and stemming from a place of deep love for the art.
If you’re a cinephile, or even just a casual moviegoer, VIDIOTS is an essential addition to your weekly listens.
