We're Not Critics Podcast - formerly Movie Pain or Pleasure

It's a two-for-one: movie/TV recommendations AND book recommendations! We share nineteen of our favorite book to screen adaptations--usually the book is better, but sometimes the movie wins out. We also have a few honorable and dishonorable mentions.

Is "Left Behind" (2001) starring Kirk Cameron a guilty pleasure or a hate watch? Normally we go into Christian movies ready to laugh or cringe, but this one left us feeling...well...left behind. On the plus side, Kirk Cameron is less obnoxious and preachy than he usually is in this one. This is a companion episode to Episode 46: Left Behind 2014.

An apocalyptic Christian movie with Nicholas Cage? Sign us UP for a guilty pleasure! We compare the 2014 remake of "Left Behind" to the lackluster 2001 original.

It's a Halloween guilty pleasure with "Hocus Pocus 2"! Join us as we cackle our way through this sequel to a witchy classic. This episode contains spoilers.

The moon is falling! And so is the credibility of this movie! We hate watch our way through "Moonfall," a disaster movie that's just a disaster.

Elivs is big, loud, and shiny...and so is the movie by the same name. There was some pleasure watching this movie, and there was some pain, so put on your blue suede shoes and join us as we talk about the highs and lows of this epic biopic about the late King of Rock and Roll.

It's time for some spoooooky movies! Join us as we count down our favorite horror movies to watch this Halloween (or any time you want a good scare).

What do you get when Ashtray from "Euphoria" and Rocky Balboa star in a superhero movie? A...decent movie. With some see-them-from-a-mile-away twists and lackluster storytelling, we weren't too impressed with this Amazon Prime original, but the two main stars did an excellent job, and Sylvester Stallone can still pack a punch. Worth a watch.

Disney, how could you? Tom Hanks, how could you?? We absolutely ROAST this new live action release of "Pinocchio" from Disney+. Stay til the end for our dream casting in what we think would be a better remake.
