(Pod)Cast of Critics
They like movies. They like TV. And they like overthinking it. Welcome to the Podcast of Critics - a film & TV review show where a cast of so-called ”critics” led by hosts Garrett & Ashley take you through varying franchises and thematically linked series of movies and shows - giving you the takes you didn’t ask for, but never knew you needed.

In the last of our '90s Disaster series, a new critic joins the cast! Mitchell - Garrett's brother and Michael Bay aficionado - joins us to talk 1998's Armageddon. It's the end of the world - and this series - as we know it, going out with a literal bang as Bruce Willis and the boys blast off to drill an asteroid before time runs out. Guns in space, animal crackers, Aerosmith - trust us, you don't want to miss a thing in this episode.

We're just ERUPTING with lava-hot takes as we continue our journey through our '90s Disaster series with a ~heated~ look at 1997's Dante's Peak. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton star as a very competent scientist and a very incompetent mayor - whose stirring and not-at-all forced romance is interrupted by that gosh darn volcano right down the street - and it would have gotten away with it too! If it weren't for that meddling Pierce knowing how to solve every problem ever- and looking way too good doing it.

Don't let the title of the episode fool you - the tornados may suck but this movie sure doesn't! Join the cast on a wild ride across Oklahoma as we kick off a new series featuring '90s Disaster Movies, starting with a conveniently (and not at all intentionally) timed pick that has a sequel coming out this week: the 1996 classic - Twister!

In the final episode of our Disney Channel Original Summer series, Garrett and Ashley race to the feminist finish line with the X-TREMELY thrilling Motocrossed from 2001, following "Andi" as she takes on the man's world of motocross - where gender barriers are smashed, engine-repair records are broken, and one poor dude's sexuality gets severely questioned.

In Ashley's pick for our Disney Channel Original Summer series, we watch Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior - THE action-packed girl power flick of 2006 that's surprisingly culturally resonant in between all the catfights, cappuccinos, and Kung Fu.
(Also Ashley cries in this episode so there's that)

Pick a card? No, pick ME! The cast set the stage for their Disney Channel Original Summer series with Garrett's pick: Now You See It - an obscure Disney Channel gem brimming with true magic, mystery, a plot to decapitate a teenager, and uh...friendship or something?

In the conclusion to the cast's review of the Ocean's trilogy, Ashley & Garrett talk through the satisfying revenge story that is Thirteen, where Clooney and the gang get back to doing what we loved em for in the first place - stealing our hearts.
AND millions of dollars, but mostly our hearts.

On the second of the cast's look into the Ocean's series, Ashley & Garrett follow the Eleven to Europe to size up whether the second in the trilogy is as egg-celent as the first, or if Twelve is more concerned with out-foxing the audience than entertaining them...

Welcome to the Cast!
The (Pod)Cast of Critics is yet another Film and TV review show - except this one is good! (And we know that because we - the hosts - are in no way biased).
Join your qualified critics (qualifications pending) Ashley, Garrett, and a cast of other guests (we only just sent out the invitations but they’re definitely still coming) - as they review your favorite movies and shows - along with some of your least favorite.
Each series of episodes tackles either a collective franchise of titles i.e. the Ocean’s Eleven series, Star Wars, etc. OR a thematic grouping of similar or otherwise related flicks - 90s romcoms, John Hughes, whatever was going on in 2011 with those two movies that were both about friends with benefits…wasn't one even just called Friends with Benefits? Anyway you get it.
New episodes are out every other Wednesday! Listen wherever podcasts are sold! Streamed? Streamed. (We are for sale though, to any interested parties)
We hope to see you at the movies!
