It’s part film analysis, part therapy, and always funny. From cult classics and childhood favourites to absolute cinematic disasters, each episode dives deep into why these films mean so much to the people who love them (even if no one else does). 🎧 New episodes every week on all podcast platforms. 🎥 Video versions, bonus episodes, and more are available on Patreon. patreon.com/everyonesacriticpod
In the middle of a very busy schedule, actor and comedian Kiell Smith-Bynoe drops into the studio to defend the 2004 Tony Scott revenge thriller, Man on Fire. We break down the massive divide between the 39% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and the 89% audience score, debating whether the complaints about runtime and violence were justified. We analyze Denzel Washington's legendary performance, Dakota Fanning's prime child-actor era, and the dizzying, choppy camera work of early 2000s action cinema. Kiell also shares behind the scenes stories from the sets of Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats, including the brutal reality of filming the lockdown and football episodes. We also get into his brand new Audible survival podcast Guz and Kiell Will Not Survive, his upcoming improv tour for Kool Story Bro, and why he thinks Deja Vu is a cinematic masterpiece despite making zero sense. Plus, Kiell issues a desperate, public plea to locate British actor Clive Owen, and reveals the story of how kissing a girl left him with a blocked nose for ten straight years. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

Throwback: Emily Wilson on X-Factor Trauma, SNL Eras, & Just Go With It
We are diving into the archives this week to bring back an absolute favorite classic episode of Everyone's a Critic!Comedian Emily Wilson stops by the studio to defend the 2011 Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston rom-com, Just Go With It. We break down why the critics were entirely wrong to give this film a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, arguing that it is actually a sweet, character-driven comedy elevated by the incredible real-life chemistry of its leads. We dive deep into the bizarre but hilarious supporting cast, including Nicole Kidman playing a mean-spirited sorority bully, Dave Matthews playing a rude, wealthy husband, and an early movie appearance by Keegan-Michael Key. We also examine the genius of Adam Sandler's career, his tendency to cast his friends, and the shocking Rotten Tomatoes scores for classics like Click and Master of Disguise. Away from the movie, Emily talks about the success of her Edinburgh Fringe show, Fixed. She shares the wild true story behind the show: auditioning for the American X Factor at age 15 alongside her closeted best friend, getting ripped apart by the judges, and somehow still making it through to the live shows. We also chat about our favorite eras of Saturday Night Live, the magic of live UCB improv shows in New York, and why Emily absolutely hated the acclaimed Paul Thomas Anderson film Licorice Pizza. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for: Episodes 24 hours earlyAd-Free listeningBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

Big Mommas House w/ Jacquis Neal
Actor, comedian, and host of Crowd Control on Dropout, Jacquis Neal joins me to defend the year 2000 Martin Lawrence vehicle, Big Momma's House. We discuss why this broad comedy is vastly underappreciated and how it brilliantly parodies the classic matriarch character originating from the drama Soul Food. We dive into Martin Lawrence's legendary, trailblazing run in the 90s and 2000s, why critics were entirely wrong to slap this film with a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and why the suspension of disbelief required for Big Momma's House makes it a much better watch than White Chicks. We also touch upon the brilliance of the first Bad Boys film and how Will Smith originally landed the role over Eddie Murphy. Jacquis also talks about the new season of his consensual crowd-work show on Dropout, Crowd Control, and how he pushed the wardrobe budget to pay homage to classic stand-up looks from Eddie Murphy, Katt Williams, and Martin Lawrence. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod
