Hosts screenwriter Joshua Rigdon and author Ryan Cipriani take a sardonic but lively look at some of the most forgettable movies of the last decades in this film critique podcast devoted to the forgotten "mid" movie. Not good movies, not bad movies just... fine movies. Each week, Josh and Ryan humorously pick apart a cinematic offering that never quite arrived and discuss why. You'll learn about film story structure, financial constraints, bland writing, and middling performances on each adventure through a movie you likely forgot ever existed in the first place.
