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

We tried watching "The Notebook," hated it, and ended up watching a Bollywood martial arts movie instead. Baaghi, starring Tiger Shroff, who does jump back kicks like an angel, is a fast-moving, funny, butt-kicking adventure. The romance plot is thin and weak, but so are the ones in Western action movies. As martial artists and Bollywood enthusiasts, we thoroughly enjoyed

Things are getting tense with Gary and the ladies! The villain is gone, but who will prevail and win Gary's heart for the hometown visits? Also, it was freezing cold outside when we recorded this episode so we're bundled up like teddy bears and complaining about it.

Tensions rise as Kathy weaves her web. A Gen Xer and a Millennial try to understand pickleball.

The drama has arrived on "The Golden Bachelor," and her name is KATHY. Join us as we scream our heads off at the antics of our favorite villain.

Gary has his first solo date with someone special, and they do a silly group activity. We figure out how the show exploits people the most...and yet we still watch.

Never have we ever watched any version of "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette," but we are OBSESSED with "The Golden Bachelor," a show about people in their 60s and 70s finding love. Join us each episode as we react to the ups and downs of Gary from Indiana (but not from Gary, Indiana) finding a woman to spend his life with.

(Cue "Pony" by Ginuwine...)

We hate ourselves. We watched all three "Fifty Shades" movies so you don't have to. Join us for our tirade.

We did something we never do--go to the movies two weekends in a row. We were excited to see both "Fast X" and "Across the Spider-Verse" for very different reasons and LOVED both for very different reasons. Join us to celebrate two blockbusters kicking off the summer
