August 05, 2024 Is Longlegs Actually A Masterpiece?
Former critics and almost-birthday girls Alex and Logan wore their long legs today—and they’re ready to jump into Osgood Perkins’ new movie!
Unfortunately, something about Longlegs (2024) brings out the worst of the former critics and their hot takes. Is Nicolas Cage a meme actor? Is Longlegs’ script worse than Night Swim? Is Top Gun military propaganda? Is this podcast scarier than the real movie?!

July 02, 2024 IS THIS THE DIRECTOR TO WATCHOUT FOR?!
Is This Director the Voice of the Millennial Generation?
WHO are the voices that truly define the young millennial—old gen Z generation?! (Besides former critics Alex and Logan!) In this episode, we discuss movies that truly capture the weird time period we grew up in, including up-and-coming director Jane Schoenbrun’s first two films in her career and Rachel Sennott’s heaviest role yet.
We also formally and publicly apologize to Justice Smith for our transgressions. We’re so sorry!!

May 05, 2024 WAS CIVIL WAR IMMACULATE?
The Former Critics are back—and this time, Alex doesn’t quite live up to the “former” part! See what drove Logan to QUIT at the end of this episode—too bad we didn’t have a safe word!
Before that, we analyze culture’s trending arguments:
Is Sydney Sweeney as good an actress as she is an entrepreneur?
Is Civil War TOO apolitical—and does it rely on AI?
Is Immaculate the new Gummo?
Should Charlie Puth be a bigger artist?
Who does Alex hate more—Timothee Chalamet, Andrew Santino, or Taylor Swift??
Also, WHY ARE MOVIES SO DARK?! WE’RE GOING CRAZY!
