I really enjoy this podcast. It’s the only movie review podcast I listen to regularly. The structure of having three film lovers with very different personal viewpoints, but common love of movies makes the discussions interesting and fun. Sonny, Alyssa, and Peter always bring thoughtful insights to the show. It’s a good time.

Sonny loves Sucker Punch

Thanks for the in-depth review, I just saw the film myself & agree w/ Sonny although the other guests made good arguments. I’ll be listening to more of your works from now on.

The amount of interrupting of and condescending towards Alyssa prevents me from keeping this in regular rotation. I usually get frustrated halfway through and turn it off.

I very much appreciate that they maintain a regular schedule (not true of some of my other favorite podcasts). I do wish they’d spend less time on the “controversy or ‘nontroversy’” segment, particularly when the topic barely relates to film or TV. Also, it strikes me as odd that a show about movies calls the review portion the “main event” and not the “feature presentation.”

My favorite movie podcast. Even if I don’t always agree with their takes, I find all three of them to be very insightful and fun to listen to.

Showgirls was very bad but it was funny if you turned off your brain. No way should the Blair Witch project got a Razzie.

Sonny is very accurate in his take downs of movies and Alyssa is incredibly smart and articulate. I liked the Oppenheimer review a lot, as Peter articulated what is great about the craft of the movie and Alyssa spoke about its’ emptiness. I would recommend to anyone who wants sharp opinions on the most recent releases.

When podcasters start flapping their tongues regarding subject matter they have no real knowledge about; it amounts to worthless hot air. The particular Across the Aisle podcast regarding the movie ‘The Menu’, is cringeworthy. When the woman (yes, the one who starts talking on all the podcasts in her incessant nasal grind and cannot stop—Elisa? Elizabeth?) starts weighing in on NOMA based on some claim of extensive knowledge on food —because she went to De Kas? Who cares. No. Just no. She has no real expertise or experience beyond a NYT article. What she fails to understand, likely because she has never been to Copenhagen and lacks any knowledge about Danish foraging culinary culture, is how truly incredible an experience is NOMA. By the way, NOMA has a greenhouse. You start your experience in said greenhouse. So salivating over Kas greenhouse experience sounds sort of stupid. NOMA uses rotating seasonal menus. Summer menu features only vegetarian and produce grown by chef. So her comment about making the staff make the same “beetle” over and over is just plain ignorant. And yes, NOMA is closing but it hasn’t closed yet. To avoid appearing vapid and ignorant , stick to what you know. And do your homework. Or just shut up.

You’re not owed a good movie (neither am I or anyone else). If you don’t like something about it you don’t have to pay. “The complaints don’t matter because the movie is good” isn’t a reason
