F This Movie!

So I’m reviewing this podcast even though I’m only about 4 minutes into my first listen. I’m here because I’ve heard Patrick’s live presentations before and after screenings at my local theater. As a crabby, elderly shut-in with impeccable taste in movies, I appreciate these opportunities to get out of the house and continue my metamorphosis into Statler from The Muppet Show. Anyway, Patrick’s contributions to these screenings are so engaging, insightful, and enjoyable that I had to get into this podcast, despite not being a podcast person. I’m pretty sure he’s my spirit animal. Or patronus? Is that what the kids say? I know a review of a show i haven’t yet listened to is a bit useless, but I’m Minority-Reporting it and assuming that it brings the same vibe that he does in person. Patrick has a talent of making his audience feel like they’re “his people.” Deep passion and knowledge do not have to manifest as elitism or gatekeeping, and I think this is what makes his presentations (and, presumably, broadcasts) so relatable. Patrick (and crew) thank you for the community you’re creating! I’m looking forward to digging through the archive. One of us!

Seriously. I love this this podcast in general and have been listening for years, but I replay the Adam episodes. Dude just kills me. The voice of the “obnoxious movie kid” and white Sox fan guy. It’s just to good. Whole crew is great but sometimes you just click with someone’s humor and that’s podcasting magic.

I love a Patrick & Erika episode. They dance close to the Seinfeld “Schmoopie” line on occasion but never cross it. Keep up the great work and BBV 4 ever!

I was baptized in it!
