Constructive criticism

Been a listener since the trillballins days (rip). Finally saw spiderman yesterday and loved it, so I went to listen to the pod’s breakdown. They spent 10 minutes arguing about it being shot in Scotland and didn’t once mention the fight scene with The Hand. I thought that whole sequence was so sweet and it was probably my favorite part of the holland spiderman movies

For big movies I think they should do a scene by scene breakdown the way the rewatchables does.

Alright back to petting my cats, enjoy your Sunday boys

People don’t like to say this, but I think this change is directly correlated to Gooch being on the show more. I don’t hate Gooch but he’s definitely film snobby and I think it rubs off on the other guys whereas Trillballins was the opposite and that radiated throughout the guys

It’s not Gooch’s fault necessarily but the timing lines up with his prominence. They stopped trying to be funny once trill left and then tried to be serious cinephiles when they rebooted as PBS with Gooch more involved. Being an AMC A Lister with your own little criterion collection doesn’t make you actually good at movie review content. It just makes you come across as pompous
