A Real Winner

Both Mikes are great. They have a great rapport that pulls you in and keeps you entertained while they discuss movies, those who make movies, and the awards associated with movies. I think this show has a lot of staying power, and it’s a good companion during long car trips. It was easily accessible to me as a new listener, and I appreciated that it stands apart from other movie review podcasts with its specific, understandable premise: It’s a podcast about movies that, according to the show description, “celebrate[s] the Oscars by making awards season year round.” I will add that they discuss awards other than the Oscars as well, such as Golden Globes, BAFTA, PGA, etc.

SXSW 2024 Review

Hi I’ve been a long time listener of the podcast and love both of your takes on the film industry and awards races as a whole.
I recently attended SXSW for the eighth time since 2016 and it was for the most part a pretty decent year as far as the film lineup goes. However, I just wanted to inform you guys in case you didn’t already know that we should probably take many of the reviews coming out of here with a BIG grain of salt if they are from the huge industry trades owned by Penske Media (I.e. Variety, Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, IndieWire etc.). When SXSW nearly went bankrupt after cancelling in 2020, Penske Media bought a 50% stake in SXSW, and therefore the festival gets immense coverage and the trades are generally extra favorable in their coverage of it.
That’s not to say there are always some real gems that play SXSW, and it’s a great time nonetheless. I just think some of it is getting overhyped due to the interests involved.
Still love listening to your podcast each week and look forward to your continued coverage.

Come for the reviews, stay for the food talk

The hosts mirror, my conversation about movies with my friends. Start talking deeply about the themes of the film and then somehow it’s lead to what meal we had at night. The Mikes are awesome. Great film podcast.
