Who Critiques Films Anyway?

Whiskey and Popcorn ·

2018/09/06

Like much of the entertainment industry, the film critic field is comprised of mainly white men. This can be a problem as critiques often define what is "worth watching," and Hollywood listens along with many moviegoers. In this episode, we explore the USC study on the race and gender breakdown of film critics and problems a mostly white male review pool can cause. You can read the USC study here: http://assets.uscannenberg.org/docs/cricits-choice-2018.pdf

Whiskey and Popcorn ·

2018/08/13

The coming-of-age film, “Eighth Grade” has been steadily gaining acclaim and some pushback since it debuted at Sundance earlier this year. The story of Kayla transition from middle school to high school in this digital age is both unique and familiar. This is Bo Burnham’s directorial debut and it has struck a nerve across audiences.
