The Best by the Worst

About The Best by the Worst

On this podcast we take the best films of all time, and as the worst possible movie critics you can find, do our best at reviewing them. We cover the story, featuring spoilers, and anything else we find interesting about the film. The movies we are reviewing are the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture and we have gone back to the start (1928) so you don't have to. Uncensored and unwanted, Aleks and Barrett aim to recapture the magic these movies once cast on viewers.
