Critically Acclaimed Network

The year was 2017, and William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold had the very silly idea to record an audio commentary track for a video fireplace, aka a yule log. And somehow it became one of our most popular episodes ever!

So here, at last, is the long-awaited sequel: THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED YULE LOG COMMENTARY TRACK 2020, with Bibbs and Witney adding updates to the history of the video yule log, seriously examining the video fireplace's value as cinema, and sharing stories about their lives and Christmas plans!

Synch it up to the FIREPLACE FOR YOUR HOME on Netflix, or the video yule log of your choice, or just listen in like a regular podcast! And have a happy holiday!

It's an all-new episode of WE'VE GOT MAIL, the podcast where film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold answer YOUR letters!

This week, Bibbs and Witney are challenged to come up with a film history syllabus, full of screenings that represent the vast swath of movie history! Plus, they ponder the filmmakers whose work they admire despite their personal politics, filmmakers fans wouldn't expect them to love (even though they do), and why it's 100% perfectly okay to give up on a movie franchise - like STAR WARS - that you've loved your whole life.

Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are working backwards through film history, and in Season 2, they're using THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW as the starting point!

This week on EPISODE ZERO they take a dip into two-strip Technicolor with Michael Curtiz's pulpy horror classic DOCTOR X, about a cannibalistic serial killer who's pursued by a heroic mad scientist with a scheme lifted straight out of HAMLET!
