  • Great podcast

    I love the sheer amount of knowledge these two have regarding movies and the Oscars. Been a Gary for a few years now but I gotta say, as a non-young person, that Joe’s incessant dunking on “youth culture”/old man yells at cloud-ness is never fun to listen to and has put me off from finishing episodes because of how needlessly negative/out of touch it comes across. Chris is always able to divert the conversation back to what the podcast does best but it’s a shame that “young people” is the hill J... more

  • Good show overall

    The podcast is good but the films should have Oscar buzz - the meddler did not - if you are going to do an off episode then essentially say this should have had Oscar buzz and say why it didn’t

    Sometimes the games are not fun for the listener

    I don’t understand how you do an Oscar podcast and don’t understand how Oscar voting works

    Please stop talking about pop music - you are annoying about it

  • This Buzz Oscar Had

    For the life of me I can’t begin to understand A) how these two fellas have ingested so many films , B) retained every single fact surrounding each film and C) can recall any pertinent movie knowledge at a moment’s notice to satisfy the other’s off-handed reference. It really is a marvel. And therefore a great weekly hang. Two gripes: 1) Did some of these movies REALLY have Oscar buzz. The selections can seem a bit dubious at times. And 2) One host rhetorically says “know what I mean” a milli... more
