    Advice for/asking for help from fellow white listeners
    When singing along to the theme song, it may be tempting to use the same words as Justin in his angelic rendition of a beloved classic song. Please fight that temptation! I’m not saying I learned the hard way but I am saying I hope you don’t. If you’re set on being provocative, “ninjas” will get the job done and I assure you your friends who season their food will judge you whether or not they choose to give you feedback on your diction. I feel like Justin approves of the word “diction” there. I tried saying fellas once and it was OK but it felt anachronistic and corny but then again Brandon is a little corny so maybe that’s a winner. “We’re two dudes and we’re spoiling movies” reads well, but it’s got an extra syllable and I already struggle just clapping on twos much less syncopating so if any fellow white folx have better sing-along lyrics I would appreciate hearing them. But seriously, I love Brandon, Justin, (and Tati!!!) for their hilarious and insightful perspectives. Best movie review podcast out there! My only regret is they’re gonna be famous soon and this will hit the back burner eventually but that’s a trade-off I’m willing to accept. Thanks for the laughs and thank you for being a friend!

    Been hooked since Last Holiday….
    I appreciate and enjoy their perspective. A ton of humor but also insightful based on their backgrounds in entertainment.

    I plead the fifth…star review
    I’ve subscribed to their Patreon, I’ve listened to every episode they’ve ever made and not once have i regret it. Between Brandon, Justin, and their occasional guest i can do nothing but say “Please Go and Listen to their podcast ASAPPPPPP no rocky”
  • hueyfreemanBlackMan
    One of my favorite shows
    One of the best shows and the only shows that have black voices speaking on movies.

    Great podcast
    Love you both.
  • MIZZ ZERØ CHILL
    Please take notes
    I love movies and I am a big fan of movie podcast. I have tried to listen to a few episodes of this podcast but I can’t find them entertaining due to the complete lack of planning and how many details about the plots, characters and locations these hosts get so wrong. it’s not a podcast as much as it is some guys recording themselves talking about movies with little to no regard given to movie they are talking about.
  • It has been a great
    Brandon’s brain
    Hey guys I’m leaving this review so this hopefully gets people to join the help one of the cohosts with the debilitating speech impediment .

    Disgusted & Disappointed
    I’ve never unsubscribed from something so quickly. That Whitney Houston “joke” in the February 17th episode... why? On top of being completely uncalled for, it was so gross and unnecessarily crude & disrespectful. Just like that you guys lost a supporter. Do better.
  • DivaDom
    Look forward to every episode!
    Thank you for the time and energy put into this show! I enjoy the reviews so much and all the tidbits along the way, like honoring Chadwick Boseman 🖤. Honestly, I’m ready to join the Patreon to enjoy over Christmas break! Let’s gooo!
  • Not a DISH fan
    Dying of laughter
    You guys always kill it... I lost it with the Kanye and Jay Z impressions in The Happening episode 🤣
  • Scooby1845
    Incredible
    It’s like listening to friends review movies how i would talk with my friend. Listen all day, everyday. Just because I share a last name with Brandon, this is not a family interview...
  • ava unknown
    Good but eh
    I’ve listened to a couple episodes. I discovered them because I recently rewatched Belly after over a decade of not watching, thinking, whatever about this movie. I saw it on the brown sugar channel after watching Friday Foster. Wanted to take a trip down memory lane. I had so much hate for that movie, I couldn’t comprehend how I ever thought it was a good movie, I had to find someone who agreed. Hence medium popcorn. I didn’t off the bat know how they’d feel, but listening garnered much laughs and agreement from me. The episodes I’ve heard are insightful enough. No shade. I def skip the into tho.

    A Fabulous Movie Show!
    Brandon and Justin are hilarious. It's true. They also put on a fantastic movie podcast that covers, in remarkably detail, such a range of material. Their latest episode (w/ guest) on all the Batmans (and the character's future) was fantastic to listen to. I found myself nodding a whole lot as someone who grew up with the Burton films. And if I'm nodding and saying "oh yes" out loud, that usually means I think that show is really darn good. So click that subscribe button. Listen to this brilliant show. You won't regret it.

  • Joshuasw97
    Hilarious AF!
    These two dudes have the funniest reviews on movies that I’ve listened to. This show is a must listen. I got into them from The Black Guy Who Tips podcast. If you want to laugh your behind off, give this show a listen! Plus, the show’s theme song is the best.

    I shoulda never gave y’all negroes money
    I finally got an iPhone (was team Android until I got married, so new to the club) and came to give y’all a 5 star review....only to find out y’all are already averaging 5 stars. What the Ras?! Ha ha, that’s dope though, you guys deserve it. Love the pod, been down since Brawl in Cell Block 99. ‘‘Twas indeed coocoobananas.

    Great podcast
    This podcast is my weekly fav for it’s hilarious host
  • Nadtojtayl
    Great
    I consider myself a connoisseur of funny movie podcasts, and this one is one of the best, even if it’s a little less known. Consistently funny hosts keep me coming back. I’m also writing this review to beg the guys to talk about “Two can play that game”. It’s not an exaggeration to say that if you guys discuss that movie, it would put a button on my entire childhood. There are so many good reasons to talk about it, but to highlight just a few, it’s an incredible black movie with all the usual actors - Taye diggs (I think), vivica, Anthony Edwards, Gabrielle Union- playing super broad roles. Please, please, do this.

    Always a blast
    I've been listening to this podcast for a couple of years now, and I still get amped every time I hear that theme song play. Best in the game.
  • miamimimaude
    Funny!
    From their goofy theme song to their varied observations such as "white people get weird in basements," this is a highly entertaining and worthwhile show. Rounds out my movie-loving interest in reviews.
  • darby4255
    Great podcast!
    My fiancé put me in to these guys! They’re hilarious!! Check them out!

    Two Ninjas Reviewing Movies
    Most hilarious movie reviews. Brandon and Justin have their own spin on reviewing movies. I avoid listening at work only because I can’t stop laughing. Make sure to join the Patreon to get the bonus content it’s always worth it! And thank you Brandon and Justin for reviewing love potion number 9 for me!

    The fact I continue to listen to these two after they make me hate movies I could have happy gone through life thinking I liked is a testament to their greatness.
  • sickness42
    Support these brothas!
    One of the best movie podcasts out there hands down! Justin and Brandon are entertaining as hell and will have you laughing out loud at work like a crazy person! Keep it up y’all!
  • bruza brodee
    Funniest movie podcast out there!!!
    From theme music to the usually uncomfortable ending, this is by far the funniest movie review podcast out there. Brandon, Justin and Gordon all do a phenomenal job at pointing out the triumphs and fails in movies. Just hilarious content...a must have podcast.
  • Mama Mocha Sunshine
    One of the best
    This is one of the best movie review podcasts out there! So funny! Def don’t miss them!
  • Ericca103
    Stop Drop and Listen
    This is the only podcast that I am Patreon to because I cannot get enough and that’s saying something because I’m cheap af. Every single episode is hilarious and worth repeat listens. I drove from NC to MD with my mother and we were dying laughing at this podcast so much it was a hazard to my driving during The Last Holiday’s “ Queen Latifah Kool Aid dress” reference that Justin made. Keep it up guys and my mom also gives it 5 stars!
  • theillestrican
    Great Listen
    Just recently discovered this podcast and I must say, I haven’t been able to put down the AirPods. Brandon and Justin have great chemistry, off the cuff banter and I’ve laughed and been entertained at every episode. Signing up for the Patreon was definitely a smart move. Been diving in the archives to listen to the past shows to get current. Keep up the good work, and here’s hoping Brandon gets better at pronouncing names, instead of butchering them like Michael Myers on Halloween night lol. Must recommend!

  • Dantresomi
    Love these brothers
    First I love the fact that you all review old movies and the latest releases. I appreciate the fact that you do movies that have not aged well Shout out with Tea with Queen and Jay for hipping me to you. The intro song is hilarious !!!!
  • Braision
    Right On
    I really wish i would’ve stumbled across your podcast a while back. I heard you guys on TBGWT and I’ve been hooked ever since. I do a lot of traveling and driving for work and this podcast helps with the monotony. I had been listening to Black on Black Cinema but you guys seem to be a lot more down to earth and relatable as well as entertaining. Thanks!
  • BlackGirlwithPhD
    Critic to Critic: This is a 5 star show
    This is one of the greatest movie review podcasts. Being able to breakdown a movie an a comedic way makes you keep listening and wanting to know if these movies are really that bad OR remembering how bad they are because you sat through them. I cant wait to here more episodes and hope to work with you one day. -Mr J from Eye For An I w/ Mr J movie review podcast
  • Destinyschillin
    So good
    If you’re a movie buff you must give this a listen!!! That’s it. That’s the review. Love y’all!!
  • Tyler Bossert
    The best movie podcast, no debate
    I’ve been a listener for a few years now, and I can say without question, this is the best movie podcast out there. Brandon and Justin have a great dynamic. Hilarious and insightful. Please give it a listen and I promise you will be hooked after a few episodes.
  • Bd1223
    Love the show!!
    Hey Branden and Justin, I love the podcast you guys crack me up every week with a funny take on a movie that most people love specially the old ones. I can say sometimes you guys are very hard On the older movies, you tend to grade them on today’s standards of movie and storytelling even when the movie is 20 years old. Either way it’s funny. I love all of your episodes except for the episode with queen and J. I know their podcast is about changing status quo of how people operate in our society when it comes to race and class and sex but they took every Opportunity to jump on their soapbox about a 30-year-old movie. Keep that on your podcast. Sometimes we don’t need all that, tell them its ok to laugh. Thats why i tune in every week. That weeks episode was boring😴. Lighten up ladies!! Lastly. Y’all should add Jonathan to the show permanently #BRINGBACKBAKERBONE !

  • TXGrappler
    These dudes are cuckoo bananas
    Most enjoyable podcast - genuinely hilarious takes on movies. Feels like hanging out with my own friends listening to them riff on all kinds of releases, new and old. Their episode on the movie Mannequin had me in knots. Cuckoo bananas.
  • BigCam716
    Hilarious
    Recently found the show and listened to a few episodes, and man are these guys hilarious. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because the audio quality suuuuuuucks.
