Leaving the Theater

Deadpool/Wolverine a let-down...yup! My 18 year old couldn't disagree more, but ya'll said it! Well done, well done!

When I was introduced to this podcast via PCHH, I was excited to have a movie review podcast with a Black voice leading conversations. I looked forward to pressing play on this show after walking out of the theater after seeing a film myself. After over a year of listening, I find myself left disappointed by the host’s consistent bleak tone at nearly every moviegoing experience, especially as of late. As a listener, it feels like the show and movie watching is an inconvenience to him. It comes across like it’s an obligation and burdensome to see the movie and talk about them. He comes across entitled as if he does the show as a vehicle for access to industry events/perks and a way to be a part of the conversation but not because he actually likes moviegoing, unless it’s his specific type of movie — which seems to be very rare these days.

I’ve been listening to Ronald’s podcasts for a while and love them so much that I became a Patreon. His laughter and movie knowledge will make you smile. And his guest hosts are always fun too!

So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I’m sure you made her very proud and she died in love. Thank you for that very difficult but heartfelt review of IF. I too am a John Krasinski fan and was planning on taking my 12 year old niece to the movie thinking it was going to be a funny, warm, feel good movie. For many reasons you articulated so well we both would have been devastated by the movie. We went to Garfield and had a silly good time which gave us the escape we needed. You are wonderful. A great son. A great podcaster. And an all around good man.
