Classic Movie Reviews

66

A father and son watch old classic movies and then review them. Sometimes we even sound like we know what we're talking about.

    Enjoyable movie discussions
    A father and son discuss old movies. Each brings a different perspective and they have easy-going, relaxing discussions. They seem to be more casual movie fans who have done some research versus academic film experts. I actually like that they aren’t experts, leads to different types of observations about the movies they review. Great podcast!

    Good solid podcast
    Classic Movie Reviews is a good solid podcast on classic movies. I love the back and forth and 2 generation perspective from this father/son team. I always look forward to their new episodes.

    A New Fave
    I’m a fan of film history-podcasts and found this podcast hosted by father-and-son Bob Johnson and Matt Johnson. They are not overtly critical; it looks like they critique films they mutually admire and provide researched anecdotes and trivia (sometimes there are errors) to tell you why a film clicks or rarely why a film doesn’t click for them. One thing I really appreciate is that this podcast presents extended audio excerpts from the classics featuring scenes and musical scores to accentuate their points—sometimes I learn something by just hearing the dialogue that I didn’t notice when I watched the film. When I listen to this show I sometimes get the impression that I’m intruding on some personal father-and-son time between the duo now well into their adult years— you can feel the love and we the audience are along for the ride. Plus dad Bob Johnson has a great laugh—every time he chuckles I instinctively laugh with him for no reason. This is a good show.

    What a joy!
    These two love films and its nice to hear their laid back synopsis and reviews. Bob it seems, has seen every classic film when it was originally released way back when and Matt is trying to catch up with him now. I’ve been binge listening to relax and get lost in the stories. Thank you both!

    Too slow too many errors
    Like the idea but you talk too slow and about too many things not about the movie. And you get too many things wrong or don’t know.

    Okay, I like the show, but...
    Guys, I like the show, but you did a really bad job on The Omen. You got several things wrong when discussing the movie. The first is that the jackal WAS Damien’s mother. That is what the priest was trying to tell Ambassador Thorne. Damien had a n unnatural or supernatural conception and birth. That’s also why there was the skeleton of a jackal in the grave (not a dog, but a jackal). The second thing is that it’s Megiddo, not Megado. Also, it’s definitely a comet that “rips the sky”. Lastly, yes, the president and Ambassador Thorne were good friends. You even have Lee Remick saying as much in an earlier part of the podcast.

    Family and Films
    One of my new favorite podcasts. Great relaxed conversations between a father and son that share a love of classic movies. Makes for good drive time listening. Seem to truly enjoy each other’s company and makes the listener feel they are part of the family.

    Pretty good
    I wouldn't recommend if what you're looking for is in-depth, detail oriented critique. But it's fun listening to them discuss movies, with Dad usually having seen the film in the theater many years ago and his son experiencing most for the first time. They both really like movies and it shines through. They do a good job going through the plot and some of the history and it's just enjoyable hearing them talk about their favorite parts. Good, lighthearted fun.

    Not what I am looking for
    This is too laid back. There is no structure to this. Probably nice guys but I don't want to listen to this.

    Father-Son revere the classics
    I do enjoy the take of father and son on the same classic film. Some movies I already know, but some I have never got around to seeing until the family Johnson gives me their rundown of the viewing. They get me interested enough to get me to look up one myself. I would have not found "Not Wanted" any other way. Keep it up, Johnson gentlemen; looking forward to more.

    Light-hearted and Fun
    This is a fun little podcast that covers great movies. I love that it’s a father and son. Their enjoyment for movies is evident and the conversational and informal style is easy on the ears.

    I enjoy the reveiws of the movies I've already seen, and...
    I enjoy hearing their opinions of the movies I've already seen. They remind me of the ones I want to see again, after many years, and ones I want to share with my teeenage kids. Also, they've introduced me to ones hadn't heard of before. Thanks guys!

    Very Entertaining and Educational
    A really great, solid podcast with excellent choices for movie reviews. It's boggling that they don't have more listeners even this early in the run. Keep up the good work!
