Six people get together and watch a movie some of them haven’t seen before. Or maybe it’s five people? Or seven? They’re completely indistinguishable from each other so it may as well be thirty. They’d probably describe themselves as film afficionados because they plug their other film podcasts at the end of each episode, but they don’t plug their current work in film because ... they don’t work in film. No doubt they all took one film course in college, and they certainly have opinions on what they wished they were watching, but that’s a huge problem here: instead of reviewing a movie as its own work, they constantly say “I wish this movie would have done this” or more obnoxiously “This movie *should* have done this.” No child. The reason you plug your Dunston Checks In podcast instead of your film work is because you don’t have film work, because your ideas are terrible. I’ve listened to two episodes and shall not try a third.
