Ratings First: A Movie Nerd Podcast
Three filmmakers of unquestionable repute. One irrefutably questionable format. Zero apologies -- this is America, after all.
🎥 Ratings First is a movie review podcast hosted by working filmmakers Justin 👨🏻🦱, Ethan 👨🏼🦰, and Brandon 🧔🏻♂️ — a director, a cinematographer, and a guy who's done everything from first AD to sound design.
Together, they obsess over movies the way normal people obsess over therapy.
They’ve seen it all, argued about it all — and now they’re doing it on-mic.
The twist?
They rate the movie before they discuss it.
Because in a podcast ocean full of masters (WHM), legends (Filmspotting), and Letterboxd darlings (Paddington🧸🇬🇧)... doing it backwards felt like the only way forward.
🎬 Come for the takes, stay for the tension.
They may not be famous (yet), but they’re too geeky to quit — unless the nukes drop (fingers crossed), in which case, well... at least we tried.

Superman -- starring David Corensweat, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan
Superman: Legacy of Debate – Ratings First Episode 2
It’s Bizarro World this week as Justin drops a shocking Superman rating that might rupture the space-time continuum. Ethan’s flying high in Superman Heaven, Brandon’s cortisol is through the roof, and the pod hits peak chaos when the guys can’t agree if James Gunn’s vision soars or sinks. It’s our most contentious second episode yet — and yeah, we do shout out our beautiful, delusional listener.
Welcome back to Ratings First, where the takes are hot, the capes are ironed, and nobody agrees on anything, except James Gunn sure seems fascinated with animal torture!
Quote of the Week --
"If I'm not seeing Will Ferrell with his pants around his ankles, it's not a comedy!"
