The Big Picture

I appreciate that there’s a meticulously color-coded google cal somewhere that needs filling, but would you consider ditching the auctions/drafts episodes? They’re all crazy bloated, and have no stakes whatsoever for the listener. Also, respectfully: I’m sure your kids are super adorable and charming, but maybe save the anecdotes for a breakout ringer parenting pod?

I don’t think the hosts realize that their ceaseless banter and call backs to inside jokes make this podcast so hard to share. I’ve tried sending episodes about pertinent films to friends and they’re left confused who Knox is and what a luxury teacup has to do with anything.

Not great- Sean and Amanda have a very strong knowledge of what they believe. A good movie is, how movies are made, and the industry in general. My frustration is in their highbrow take on things, if it’s not art house it’s not worth watching in their opinion. Her voice is the epitome of a former sorority sister who is slightly buzzed with aggressive vocal fry. they talk about their kids, inside jokes and “stuff” that have nothing to do with movies. I’m not listening anymore, I just wanted to leave an opinion because as someone who 100% supports the theater experience and spends hundreds of dollars a year in the theater, I wanted to have a more well-rounded diverse open-mindedness in their selections and opinions. I was really disappointed.

They just called Adrien Brody’s insufferable acceptance speech a “good speech” and they “loved” his demands to turn off the music, so I can’t listen to this podcast anymore. Their takes have always been all over the place, but this is truly mind-boggling. The lack of consideration to prepare a speech is one thing, but then to demand they turn the music off was next level narcissism. And they’re praising him? This is also the guy who literally sexually assaulted Halle Berry on stage… So very out of touch.
