    My favorite podcast
    So sad this podcast is ending. Iā€™ve never been a podcast person, but when I find a good one I become totally obsessed. This is one of the 2 that Iā€™ve listened to (mostly watched) regularly on YouTube since the beginning. My fave would alternate between the three depending on who was the most right that week šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰ but you all will be equally missed for sure! Excited to check out whatā€™s next to come, maybe side movie podcasts from the sounds of it? šŸ‘€

    BEST MOVIE PODCAST EVER!
    It makes me so sad to hear this podcast is ending. All three hosts offered such a unique perspective on films, from script writing to camera work and psychology. Above all else what this podcast truly captures is a safe and respectful place to have discussion. Even if they do not agree with one another they show massive respect to each other by actively listening. I feel like my passion for movies has grown tremendously but erespectfulo my ability to communicate and have healthy debate with others. Thank you all for your time! You have truly made more of an impact in my life and my wifeā€™s than you could ever know. If there is anything I can do to help support the life of this podcast just say the word and Iā€™ll do it! PS I found you guys before LTT and now I watch that content because of this podcast.

    Seriously the best
    My favorite movie podcast
  • jaslinfo
    Love it, will give 5 stars when David fixes the way he says ā€œFrustratedā€
    I absolutely love this podcast. I listen to every episode, and if I havenā€™t seen the movie, Iā€™ll skip to the end for ā€œNow Playingā€ and wrap-up segments. Would be a 5 star show, but David completely drops the first ā€˜rā€™ in the word ā€œFrustratedā€. Will update the review when he learns the error of his ways.
  • Roboaneurysm
    I love this podcast BUT
    I love this podcast so much that I have listened to all of the episodes many times and I havenā€™t seen ANY OF THE MOVIES! They speak with so much passion that it keeps me entertained so I keep coming back!

    Needs a stronger moral message!!
    This podcast is good but I feel it doesnā€™t do a good job setting forth a moral message and takeaway. In fact Iā€™d dare say it has a moral obligation to do so. Iā€™m sure 1 out of 3 people would agree with me šŸ¤”
  • Scrabbleship
    New listenerā€”much enjoyment
    So far, so fun. I love the casual and well thought out discussions, especially theories and theories about theories. The hosts work very well together and are able to argue without hostility, and to agree to disagree over wildly different opinions.
  • Ishmael C.M.
    Great podcast.
    Great podcast. Iā€™d write more, but I fear that the unwashed and very young may misconstrue or disregard any nuance presentedā€”and that is one responsibility I will not cast aside.
  • RockKickAss_7
    Disappointing Lately
    Episodes havenā€™t been coming consistently (which is fine, if we were told theyā€™d be delayed) and I have been patiently waiting for the Annihilation review and after 2 weeks they changed the review without telling anyone. Real sloppy lately. Need to find new movie podcast.
  • SFmoney
    Not very knowledgeable
    For a movie podcast, these guys don't know too much about the movies and actors they're discussing. Listening to the Top Gun episode, they clearly don't know about the behind the scenes with practical shots and visuals. They also don't know about Val Kilmer's cancer.
  • SteveKeyHarvey
    More Luke Please
    Hackers episode was perfect, please bring Luke (and other guests?) back on for more techy movies.
  • JB M'uzuri
    Best Movie Podcast in Town
    These guys do a great job and always have interesting perspectives! Itā€™s too bad they canā€™t look at famous short films like THE PANTS SOCIETY and THE WALKMENā€¦
  • AustinTechGuy
    True movie fans will love and hate TJM
    TJM has both increased and decreased my enjoyment of movies. The fellas do an excellent job breaking down films by debating the movies successes and misses while educating you on structure and form. The guys have 3 distinct POV which helps you see how different people can interpret the same film. Whether itā€™s Rileyā€™s old man sensibility, Davidā€™s high minded snark or Jamesā€™s general disdain for the world around him, youā€™ll end the podcast more educated for the time. The downside to your newfound knowledge is the way you watch movies is fundamentally changed. Youā€™ll now notice bad ADR, weird editing choices and the previously unearned story moment that your brain used to ignore now feels like a knife to the brain. If you want to blissfully remain in movie magic land, donā€™t listenā€¦.if you want to trade that bliss for a cold dose of entertaining reality, TJM is the podcast for you.

    Amazing
    I am ADDICTED. If you love LMG or just movies this is the podcast for you. With a a film student and usually a guy that hates the movie and another that loves it you get to hear many views and opinions about many movies. P.s. Riley youā€™re my favorite at LMG.
  • 123434688;+&(&&&
    Love this show
    The hosts are fantastic!!! I love the interplay between them. The guest during Lightyear who started screaming almost immediately was obnoxious and made me turn off the episode. He literally screamed THE ENTIRE TIME. It made it impossible to listen to the episode unfortunately. Other than that, this show is amazing - skip Lightyear.
  • ctkalcic
    You guys rock!
    You guys are some of the most fun I have podcasting, I really feel like Iā€™m right there with each of you guys as you thoughtfully discuss each movie/show. In your tradition, I have decided to write my own slogan for Kenobi! Riley, this one is for you, Iā€™d love to chat Star Wars with you sometime and truly enjoy every time you bring it up! ā€œKenobi is like that last egg you have in your refrigerator. Youā€™re starving and need something to eat. The egg looks delicious, and represents the last chance to satisfy the hunger. All of your hopes and dreams rest on that perfect, round, white little egg. Cracking it open on the pan you notice it smells a little funny, but you continue cooking through your desperation. Placing the cooked egg on your plate, you take a large bite despite your better judgement. At first it doesnā€™t taste that bad, but soon the disgusting flavor intensifies to the point where you spit it out, and proceed to vomit all over the dining room table, and possibly end up in the emergency room for food poisoning. Youā€™ll never think of eggs the same way ever again-2/10.ā€ Cameron T

    Great when itā€™s the origin 3, guests can be hit or miss
    Less guest appearances from Linus and Brandon, more from Sarah
  • Zach End
    Riley Voice : One of the best podcasts out there ā€¦ 6.7 outta 10
    Unlike most podcast, this one is always an entertaining listen. Plus, Rileyā€™s actually not that bad once you get used to him. Only real down side is the INTENSE sexual tension between you guys and pretending that you like the name change to ā€œthey're just moviesā€
  • OdgotdistitaiR
    A perfect 5/7
    James I canā€™t believe you donā€™t like menudo. (Canā€™t remember what episode you said in it) David pick more movies that your passionate about itā€™s awesome hearing your takes. Riley sometimes I canā€™t understand your takes but most of the time I see where your coming from. Overall you guys bounce off each other masterfully. Please do La La Land :).
  • xeewoo
    Unsubscribed because of Riley
    Itā€™s difficult to enjoy the show because Riley is so negative about everything. I donā€™t want to listen how he thinks everything is bad.
  • B_Phipps
    Pretty great
    Listen for the movie reviews, watch for Davidā€™s biceps ā¤ļøšŸ’¦
  • KC_Matthew
    Podwright Perfection
    The true craftsmanship of masters is on display in this podcast as the listener is taken along an epic journey exploring the depths of "what is a 1, really?" This podcast explores sexual confusion, foot stuff, magic snap paradoxes, and breaks a stalwart lorehead in twain by the third act. The Podwrights intricately weave elements of plot disection, the economics of VFX studios, and T. Hoop's loss aversion into what most are calling "the greatest podcast episode of the century." Episode 20 is Le Grand K by which all other podcasts are measured. There are, in fact, other episodes (126 others as of this writing), and they are worth a listen as well.

    No Better Movie Podcast
    The absolute best.
  • Hacker-Man
    Favorite podcast every week
    I love this podcast! I like hearing different people talk about movies and I like to hear the different opinions. Just know before you listen, Riley doesnā€™t like any movie.
  • ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢Ā„
    Riley
    Does this guy even like movies? It feels like every review he just doesnā€™t like anything. His bar is set too high. Still love hearing everyone takes and love the show.
  • The Whole Truth
    Brutal.
    Someone wrote that the hosts are awesome??!! Are you kidding me? This group criticized Jaws for not having good character development. On that along I deleted that particular download. It got no better. They make consistent research mistakes, so limited credibilityā€¦ itā€™s like listening to three pre-teenagers talk; incomplete thoughts, talking over one another, and mistakes. Skip this podcast if you want an hour back.
  • ConfusedBreakfastPodcast
    Love this show
    I love this podcast. The hosts are awesome, quality is top notch and the minute I see the title of the new episode, I am immediately excited to listen.
  • justletmedoitdamnit
    Always caught this on YouTube
    I would always watch this on YouTube and I also listen to podcast I donā€™t know why it took me so long to figure out it would be available on my phone. I literally listen to podcast all day,
  • StayFrosty1996
    From Boston with love
    I just learned about this podcast on one of LTTs videos. I started with The Departed because itā€™s a great movie and Iā€™m from southie area. I can honestly say that is how we talk and How I often great my friends. Great pod cast and now my favorite pod cast. Slowly going through all the episodes!!! Keep it up!!
  • hybridarjun
    I listen every week
    I wait every week for this
  • LittleSunflower :)
    My fave Canadians
    This podcast is one of my favorites. I listen to every episode even if Iā€™ve never seen the movie! This podcast ALSO got me to watch a lot of incredible films Iā€™ve never wanted to watch before. One of my all time favorite movies is now The Prestige thanks to them (I even made my whole family watch it lol). Iā€™ll keep listening no matter what movie you cover. The banter is hilarious and I feel like I have friends in the car with me when im listening to them in traffic. Keep it up!!
  • ThommyJohn2
    Freaking Awesome
    You guys are my favorite people from Linus tech tips and as soon as I found out you were doing a podcast I started binging. Iā€™m so excited to listen to all of these and the ones Iā€™ve listened to are awesome. You guys have the best conversations itā€™s so entertaining. Also this is the only podcast that I listen to the sponsors for because the music is so catchy. I just canā€™t bring myself to skip it. This is amazing guys.
  • Sissi_220
    Sexist/Racist
    I really wanted to like this podcast. It has some nice interesting discussions and guest speakers. Unfortunately, the constant sexist and racist comment are just too much. Time after time insensitive comments are made. Efforts are not made to even try to pronounce names correctly.
  • Shoff29
    My weekly consumption
    I get soo excited to watch or listen to every episode each week. Whether Iā€™ve seen the movie or not, being a fly on the wall with these three (plus guests) is soo enjoyable. Riley and James sometimes bicker like a married couple, but overall the chemistry between the trio is a lot of fun and I always find myself laughing when they get going. Whether Iā€™m curious how they feel about a movie Iā€™ve seen, or I want to hear them explain one I havenā€™t, this podcast is exactly what I want, and Iā€™m glad it just soo happens to feature my favorite 3 from LMG. (No offense Linus)
  • Not great for users
    Good but racist
    Dang, I really loved this podcast until I reached the Parasite episode. Mispronouncing or forgetting someone's name is one thing, refusing to learn how to say it & deliberately assigning a derogatory, white-centric nickname is rude & racist. Bong Joon Ho is the same number of syllables as "Christopher" and many fewer than "Robert Downey Junior". If learning 3 syllables is really too difficult for you, Director Bong or Mr Bong would work. Do better, James.
  • I work out... sometimes
    Is good. Sometimes annoying
    1) Riley is just great 2) David is insightful but can be pretentious 3) James is fun but occasionally gets annoying
  • Markedachilles
    Great banter mostly
    Love the podcast. Would subscribe to a Patreon version without Riley though. Like, donā€™t remove him just edit him out of every episode with no explanation. Much less negativity and would be funny.
  • t__c_
    Great listen
    I really enjoy watching movies but wanted to get more in depth with them and I thought Iā€™d find a podcast to listen to about them. I looked at quite a few and I really enjoy this one! I love listening to this while Iā€™m driving and for some movies I almost look forward more to this podcast than the actual movie! Iā€™ve even learned a lot from this podcast!
  • Evil Doctor
    Flawed but fun
    Great format however two major issues. 1) One guy canā€™t pronounce most words. Such as vague, femme fatale, etc. Get an education and a thesaurus. 2) Same guy hates pretty much every movie and seems to just not like film. Strange for a guy who went to film school. Perhaps he needs a new career. The other two gentlemen carry the show and make it worth while.
  • NeoDoubleGames
    Good podcast, but too much social justice.
    Good podcast but they keep pushing leftist ideas and being thought police. Nice movie reviews though, three out of five stars.
  • SteepBrook
    It grows on you
    Not a big fan on Youtube when these guys do tech news and have hard-to-understand conversations with someone off camera - so I wasnā€™t expecting too much from this podcast. However, itā€™s pretty good and they grow on you. One guy gets too technical and deep and feels like heā€™s wikiā€™d the movie too much - but the other guys keep him in check and itā€™s a good mix. I like that they do older movies - they should do Gattaca.
  • jwford
    Into the Abyss
    How many subpar movie podcasts hosted by white millennials do I have to wade through before I find one I like? Thereā€™s nothing better than listening to a bunch of geeky IT guys giving their uninformed opinions on film. No wonder they have such a large following. šŸ™„ Completely unfunny and embarrassing.
  • jamesleemiller
    Such a good movie podcast
    I love Riley, favorite by far. David can be kind of a dock if you donā€™t agree with him . Whether I always agree with them of not. I love that they love movies much as I do.
  • Lincoln Bartelt
    Constructive Criticism
    This podcast is great but I know yā€™all want some cc... Riley: -Needs to work on knowledge and appreciation of horror genre -Needs to work on understanding of the Last Jedi as a solid film -Needs to work on fear of being viewed as too politically correct James & David: -Can do no wrong
  • MattyCabie
    Great pod! Listen often
    Found this pod recently and really enjoy the banter in the group. Movie selection has also been fun. I like how they research the history of the movies, the production, the actors in them, etc. Keep it up! (Plz consider reviewing ā€œI Heart Huckabeesā€)
  • canaanlawrence
    Such a great Podcast
    Itā€™s really refreshing to hear the perspective of all three of the show Hosts, each person specializes in a different field, whether it be filmography or writing. Itā€™s also night to get some guest appearances/opinions from other people like Linus and Sarah!
  • QfanChris
    Glad they're doing TV shows
    Really enjoy their commentary and that they do YouTube videos as well.
