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.
Ratings First: A Movie Nerd Podcast
Nobody 2 — starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd
🎙️ Episode 10 — Nobody 2 💥🕶️🥋
What if The Great Outdoors packed a rocket launcher? What if Summer Rental ended in a pile of roundhouse kicks? That’s basically Nobody 2 — an 80s-style action comedy throwback… except this time Bob Odenkirk is Robocop on steroids, and his wife is equally ready to shoot a villain down.
It’s dumb. It’s schlocky. It’s poorly written. And it’s glorious. ✨
Justin (predictably) loved it. Brandon came in a notch or two lower. Ethan a little lower still. But honestly? We all had fun with this one. And yes — we found ourselves weirdly obsessed with one supporting character. Who? Why? You’ll have to listen to find out. 🎟️👦
This one’s a blast, front to back. Come hang with us.
