United States18 days ago - Goodfellas ep
Don’t listen to it. Amy’s worst ep because she dislikes the film for really dumb reasons, just to get a rise. I respect it, but she couldn’t pull back from her take and it sunk her performance. Great podcast though! Especially the AFI List.
Apple Podcasts4AddbarnUnited Statesa month ago - Great movie podcast

Apple Podcasts5Seeker718United Statesa month ago - Usually good, but
Normally Insightful, even five stars. But your One Thing After Another episode was a miss. How did you NOT notice the lack of characterization for POC people, especially the leading actress? This one felt like a view from the white, patriarchy bubble, with insights gleamed straight from the press release.
Apple Podcasts2Your Aunt Su-SuUnited States2 months ago - Confounding audio
The Spinal Tap episode has some of the worst audio editing I’ve ever heard on a podcast, talking over clips, playing clips at the wrong queues. I had no idea what I was hearing at times.
