  • Résumé

  • Have you ever watched a movie you were excited for but felt disappointed in some way? Were you left wondering why it wasn't better? This is the podcast that has the answers! We review films that were highly anticipated, but were for a variety of reasons either disappointing, underachieving, or misunderstood, and ramble about why they weren't better. This is a podcast for film nerds and for anyone who enjoys some lighthearted, semi-serious, in-depth discussion.

  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    Feb 19 2025

    Tim Burton's adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl classic caught Johnny Depp at the height of his "weirdo role" popularity. It made plenty of money but proved polarizing. How does it hold up after twenty years? First time guest Brian Anderson is here to discuss Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

  • Out of Africa
    Feb 5 2025

    I had a podcast in Africa. Our first "worst Best Picture winner." Director Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa was big winner and commercial hit in 1985. It featured Meryl Streep and Robert Redford very much in their primes. So why, forty years later, is it often ranked as one of the "worst" Best Picture winners of all time?
