No snobbery needed for this episode! We dive into the cinema changing classic, Star Wars. Talking about all the quirks and unusual turns that made this movie the, dare we say, cinematic masterpiece that it is? Or just the best b-movie ever made?

You be the judge! And follow along with the How To Be A Movie Snob team.

Maybe this is more of a love fest of how much we love this movie more than a review. But if you want your podcast listening to go to 11 then join the crew talk about one of Seth's favorite movies of all time.

This week we're leaning heavily on Pat. As a professional animator who's even hired several talents from these Oscar-nominated films, he might have a few extra insights to share. But don't worry—Seth and Mariah may not have the same credentials, yet they're eager to offer their opinions too!

Enjoy what we hope is our final Award Season podcast, spotlighting the animated movies of 2024.

n this special episode of How To Be A Movie Snob, we dive into the enigmatic world of A Complete Unknown (2024), the highly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic. But this time, we’re shaking things up—with special guest host Dale, Seth’s dad, joining the conversation!

Together, we break down the film’s approach to mythmaking, Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Dylan, and how the movie captures (or distorts) the essence of an artist in transition. Does it live up to the legend, or does it leave us tangled up in confusion? Tune in as we dissect the storytelling, performances, and that ever-elusive Dylan mystique—movie snob style.
