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.

The No Episode Episode --> Join us, won't you?
🎙️ Episode 14 — Who’s Got to Go? 🎬⚔️🤔
No new release this week. No Nic Cage meltdowns, no Austin Butler abs, no midnight screenings. But hey — we weren’t about to ghost you. 👻
So instead, we broke out a little game: Who’s Got to Go?
It’s simple: we take four all-time classics, throw them in the ring, and one has to vanish from existence forever. Tempers flare, friendships wobble, cinema history gets rewritten.
It’s chaotic, it’s dumb, and it’s way too fun.
Next week, we’re back on schedule with our full Caught Stealing episode — but for now, enjoy the mayhem and yell at us in your car when we make the wrong choice. (Spoiler: we definitely made the wrong choice.)
