Customer Reviews
Getting back to normal
I’ve been listening to this podcast since their hay days in the beginning. I LOVED the original group that had formed to its peak right before the pandemic. Understandably, after the pandemic it fell apart. Things happen. But as the entertainment world opened back up,the /Film podcast did not. Peter became obsessed with creating content and, how to make, and who made, the most money in Hollywood. Since he’s retired to do what he’s really into, the podcast is coming back around. Some of the regulars are coming back and the obsession with box office results is receding. I wish they could do more podcasts throughout the week again, I really do enjoy what they have. Ben is a great host and crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist probably don’t even listen to this show.
Great Show
I’m so upset with this podcast. I use to listen to it regularly. But since Peter left they have lost their connection with their audience. Very sad
M4M
A show full of men gassing up other men in Hollywood. Even when talking about a movie full of women like Bottoms, they find a way to spend 10 minutes hyping up Marshawn Lynch and no one else in the movie. Their initial talks of Barbie, they spent most of the time talking about Christopher Nolan and Ryan Gosling. And don’t hold your breath for a woman guest speaker, you’ll pass out. BJ Colangelo is a newer and very welcome addition, but one person isn’t a monolith. I’ve been listening for years and am not an avid reviewer but my pattern recognition can’t take it anymore and I just hope this opens eyes and ears to biases.
