Episode 11: Movies That Don't Deserve Hate

New year, new podcast name, and a new top 5 flms list! We didn't post that many episodes last year, but that doesn't mean we weren't watching movies. Our plan is to be more consistent this year and we're going to start by breaking down our favorite five films from 2023.

Cinema is back! Scorses continues his late career run with another fantastic film. For us, a three hour long Scorses film is a national holiday. And while our podcast is not nearly as long, we used the time we had breakdown what makes this film so affecting. Let us know if you enjoyed the podcast by leaving a review!

Behind! We're coming around the corner to serve you up a hot new episode. The Bear has quickly become one of our favorite shows, and season two might be best of the year. Listen as we break down the themes and best moments of the season.

The movies are back, baby! Defying all odds and trends, Christopher Nolan's three hour long drama about a physicist became the biggest movie of the year. How is that possible? Why is everyone showing up for this film? Listen as the Appreciators break down the themes and best moments of Oppenheimer.

The weekend of Barbenheimer has come and gone, and it was everything we ever could have asked for. Your Appreciators, Evan and Andrew, wanted to give each movie their own discussion. First up is the (apparently) scandalous Barbie. Not only is it one of the funniest movies we've seen in recent memory, it's also got a lot of thematic depth to it. Listen as we break it all down for you--everything from its similarties to the Garden of Eden and that Matchbox Twenty cover.

The end of May saw the end of three great TV shows. It honestly felt like the world was ending. But instead of feeding our sadness, we want to break down these shows. Did they all stick the landing? Which finale was the best? Which show will have the greatest legacy? Press play and fine out!

WATCH HERE:https://youtu.be/iN_V5TqRyC4 Stephen King may be the biggest name in wriiting, but his Sci-fi/Fantasy/Western epic is still unfamiliar to most readers. On this episode, Andrew and Dan argue why Stephen King fans should find the time to read the series, and also break down the ending and core themes of the series.

Succession Season 4 has been full of surprises thus far, but the biggest twist might be that we've never talked about it on the podcast! And we have a great batch of episodes to discuss! Was episode 3, "Connor's Wedding," one of the best episodes of TV of all time? Or was it just a really good episode on a really good show? Plus, we talk about why we've been away for so long.

The Professional Appreciators have watched the Oscars and they are exteremely slap-happy. Who better to break down the winners and losers? And don't worry, our show is only 40 minutes as opposed to 4 hours.

Here's a twist: we LOVE M. Night Shyamalan! His latest film, Knock at the Cabin, has some detractors (big shock there). But your friendly neighborhood Apprecitators are here to explain why we believe Knock at the Cabin (and its ending) is better than some claim.
