The Review It Alls Podcast Has Arrived!

There is a new podcast out for all of you film buffs and film critics. It is hosted by a married couple (@almostfilmcritic and @notjustanytina) that I've been friends with for quite some time. Introducing:

The Review It Alls Podcast

Steve has been reviewing and critiquing movies for a long time and has been a lover of cinema for an even longer time. He regularly blogs at: http://almostfilmcritic.blogspot.com/

Steve and I don't always see eye to eye on his reviews (among other things), but I have to say he is dedicated. His posts are always well written and he doesn't stop until he gets his point across. It always seems like they're going to see the latest movies that come out or catching up with stuff on Netflix or through Redbox.

I got to catch up with the pilot episode today and see how things transitioned from the written world of Blogger over to the audio of their show on PodBean.

Listening in, they say the purpose of this podcast is to review ANYTHING, mostly movies. Justina said that she will be focusing on music for the podcast along with TV shows. Also in the lineup, are video games, board games, and other pop culture items.

Critique: At the very beginning there was some slight feedback during the intro. Steve is very relaxed on the mic as he has done a radio show in the past. Justina said she was nervous, but I thought she did well and the interaction between them was smooth and they bounced things off one another quite well. The vibe is good and I like this format, because I can listen in while I'm working on stuff.

My favorite lines from the show:

Steve: Can I express my opinion?
Justina: Go ahead, just know that it's wrong.

All in all, I thought it was entertaining and I'll check out the others to follow and see what turns up next.

Shout out to watching Love on Netflix. I really liked season 1.

My questions to them though, are what is your tech setup like for the show? What mics do you use? What software do you record with? What software do you edit with, if you do edit at all?

Possibly, I'll get to see this information in a blog post or hear about it in a future episode.

Congrats on the new show guys!
