Starving Critics

Battle of the Decades: 80's v 90's! In one corner, Rachael reps the "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" zany 80's. And in the opposing corner, Mitch jumps on-board the "Shawshank" train and reps the deep-twisted-feels of the 90's. Who will win? And which titles will they forget? R&M do their best to survive the great debate and nail-down a Top 5 List for each era. Let the battle commence!

Rachael has deep dived into Amazon's catalogue to tell you what you need to watch RIGHT NOW! (Don't worry it turns out Amazon doesn't have a ton of stuff worthy of a binge and the stuff that is she hasn't seen yet). Also: is Unsolved Mysteries the most nostalgic, terrifying show of all time? Answer: Yes but listen anyway! Please rate/review & subscribe to us on iTunes as well as follow us on twitter @Starve_Critics or on instagram @starvingcritics. Go watch something!​

"Yo Adrian! We got a podcast!" That's right--it's time to once-and-for-all salute the longevity, genius, and shiny ripped muscles of Sylvester Stallone. Mitch's college buddy, Nick, drops in for an all-out deep-dive into Sly's majestic career. Plus, we whittle name our Action Hero Mount Rushmore picks. Like Rambo, this episode wins this time. Give a listen!

Dunkirk - Modern Masterpiece? Best War Flick Ever? Mitch dives in on the surprisingly stunning new title from Christopher Nolan. Also, time to re-rank Nolan's Top 5.

Time to pay homage to the Kings of Quirk--Joel & Ethan Coen. Love 'em or hate 'em (but seriously, if you hate the Coens, check yourself into the emergency room ASAP) they've made some of modern cinema's best titles. Rach & Mitch dive-in on their Top 5 Coen Flicks...but end up hitting nearly all of 'em. Either way, you come out ahead. Viva la Coens! And mad shout-out to Briannon for the amazing episode idea. Give a listen, rate, and review. Please and Thank You!

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has arrived...for a third reboot. Did SM Homecoming live-up to the hype? Mitch's friend and comic book connoisseur, Big Papi Jake, stops by for a deep-dive. Along the way, ranking all three dudes to don the Spidey-suit and all six flicks. Plus, a quick rundown on the new Watchmen HBO reports. Sling some web and nerd-out with us!

This week Rachael and her morning breath are hitting up some movie news after an unfortunate audio problem left us without a proper minisode this week! But fear not, your committed co-host has got you covered with some movie and Emmy tidbits to get you into your weekend. You've earned it!

For years Mitch has lied about seeing "Pulp Fiction". Tired of his lies and ignorance, Rachael demanded he sit down and experience the iconic title once and for all. Dive-in to hear the debate on whether Tarantino's masterpiece deserves placement in the Top 10 All-Time or not. Plus, Uma Thurman awesomeness, John Travolta sucks, and GLOW is the greatest new show on the tube.

Special Guest & LGBTQ Activist, Kevin Garcia, pops in to dish on the rainbow-friendly movies and tv. Among the go-to classics of Brokeback Mountain & Moonlight rest a bunch of high-quality indie titles. AND, a surprising inspiration from GLEE! It's time to get fabulous and let all the love in w/ Mitch & Kevin. Give a listen for gay pride!

Things get hot and heavy when Britty (@brittytom) from Not So Dirty Talk joins Rachael to talk about the sexiest movie moments and what we did with after viewing them! 2 internet friends having their first conversation be broadcast to the internet? And it's about sex? What could go wrong?! Actually nothing this episode is great, albeit very NSFW so listen with caution!
