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.

Classic Tease... American Werewolf in London!
🎙️ An American Werewolf in London (1981) — The Second Classics Tease 🐺🇬🇧🌕
Another ten minutes. Another dangling carrot. Another reminder that you’re not getting the whole episode unless you subscribe. 🍫
This time, it’s John Landis’ horror-comedy classic An American Werewolf in London — a film where the makeup slaps, the pub locals are sketchy, and Justin hands out our second-ever Perfect 10™ like it’s a Werther’s Original. 🙄
Ethan and Brandon? Also impressed. But don’t worry — we still roast Justin mercilessly, because what’s a friendship without a little bullying? 💕
So here’s your bite-sized preview. Just enough to hear us howl, then we yank the bone away. 🦴 If you want the full moon transformation, you know what to do: Classics Tier™.
