The Fan & The Critic

Carson Choi

Intellectual, beer-fueled discussion about movies. Each episode we bring in new guests to talk about their favourite movie genres, share their favourite audio clips, describe themselves using movie characters, and ultimately to get in a fight with us by end of each episode.

  1. Ep. 70 - Formative Movies (feat. Ben and Elon)

    MAR 10

    Ep. 70 - Formative Movies (feat. Ben and Elon)

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic I don't know what the proper title for this one should be y'all. Ben and Elon drop by and we talk about movies that were part of our formative years and made us the people we are today. It gets weird, then it gets serious, then it gets weird again - and then we play a game about horror movies.

  2. Ep. 69 - Top 10 Movies of 2025

    JAN 24

    Ep. 69 - Top 10 Movies of 2025

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic Carson and Paolo talk about their favorite movies from the past year. As usual, Carson's list is full of pretentious indie movies and Paolo's list is full of dumb Hollywood movies. There's something for everyone! (note: I've used this description for the last three years and it's finally not true! Carson's list is full of schlock and Paolo's list is almost exclusively horror movies!)

  3. Ep 68 - Christmas Movie Trivia (feat. Ben)

    12/17/2025

    Ep 68 - Christmas Movie Trivia (feat. Ben)

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic On this episode, Carson wildly overestimates how much other people know about Christmas movies by creating trivia questions that no one knows the answers to. He is also shocked that not everyone has watched Scrooged (1988) over 20 times each.

  5. Ep 66 - 80s Fantasy Movies and Playing DnD (feat. Peter)

    09/09/2025

    Ep 66 - 80s Fantasy Movies and Playing DnD (feat. Peter)

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic After we finished recording this episode, we said to ourselves: "Boy that was fun to do. I'm not sure if anyone is going to enjoy listening to this, but at least we enjoyed this." So yeah, welcome to another 2 hour long episode and we hope you sit through all of it.

  6. Movie Reviews - Wicked and Emilia Perez

    07/13/2025

    Movie Reviews - Wicked and Emilia Perez

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic On this month's episode, Carson is tied to a chair and forced to watch Musicals against his will. He finds at least one good thing to say about each. Our guests are more musically sophisticated and better able to articulate what is good and bad about these movies.

  7. Ep 65 - Andor S2 and Rogue One revisited

    06/08/2025

    Ep 65 - Andor S2 and Rogue One revisited

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic 10 years ago Rogue One was released to theatres and created strongly divided opinions between the Fan and the Critic. More recently, Andor season 2 was released and was received well by both. Perhaps it is time to revisit Rogue One and see if the passage of time yields a more favourable response. Will the Critic walk back his hatred? Will the Fan be less hyped?

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic Just 4 dudes sitting around talking about how much they like Jackie Chan....'s movies.
