The critics here more than anywhere understand that a movie is supposed to be art and that they’re supposed to move you, in any number of ways, whether through humor or drama or spectacle. They talk about interesting movies in an interesting way. A more feminine perspective on movies in the best way - bucks against a lot of the biggest and most American impulses of much of cinema today. Necessary podcast.

As a film lover, this has been the only film podcast I’ve listened to for years!! I love the rotation of writers who come in and it’s nice that they all bring such a fresh perspective and actually have a great rapport with Leila. Love! ❤️

This is a wonderful review show of current films that also features a classic or under-appreciated movie. This is a show for people with open minds. Those who go hunting for media to label as “too woke” can spend time elsewhere.

Excellent at times but is just too “inside baseball.” Feels like a podcast where the audience is actually irrelevant. Smart, eloquent, cogent discourse on film is always welcome - but this is by the podcasters for the podcasters AC Jimbo sorely missed - kept it real - but he probably doesn’t have the time, energy or brain power/verbosity to bother.

Unfortunately they are both.

Please just simply list out the movies in the episode titles. It’s really annoying the way you changed it. Doesn’t make it better at all. Will change my review to 5 if you do.

The critics seem to automatically be over critical of popular movies...simply because a lot of the general public enjoy them. Just enjoy it for what it is! Was much much better with James Richardson as host, he represented a more average film goer!

I have struggled my way through this podcast for a while now. Occasionally I have really enjoyed it. However, I have got a bit tired of people crow barring in there personal politics into some of the film reviews, coupled with praise for some incredibly overrated movies (High Life springs to mind). As a liberal, I thought we were supposed to be less dogmatic than the right and more open minded. Apparently not.

Not a serious film review show. If you want to hear movies being dismissed because they were made by white males this is the place for you. Hipsters let you in on how wonderful they are. Unsubscribed

Ah tis a very good listen

Thanks AC Jimbo !

Jumbo is brilliant: funny, keeps things moving, has genuine and interesting things to say about movies. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the critics on show, virtually all of whom are remarkably pretentious. They sound as though their far more concerned with being "correct" according to what they learned at film school, rather than expressing genuine opinions.

Wonderful pod! Can James Richardson just host everything please?

Started listening because James Richardson is a fantastic presenter. The format of this pod is quite appealing: a few reviews, some choice discussion about current happenings, and then the neat film club segment where they dust off old movies that deserve another look. The panelists aren’t particularly eccentric or funny, but there’s no denying their film chops. James’ puns are great — just don’t let him share any awful Indiana Jones takes.

AC Jimbo is the everyman in this podcast, not afraid to be real, and I enjoy the breakdown of movies old and new. Please keep this one!

A perfect formula AC JIMBO + Movies

I listen to a few of them. This is my favorite non comedy one of the lot
