Scene Unseen Movie Reviews

Alright, so I haven't been posting for awhile but I plan to make it a more regular endeavor....

For the last 9 months or so, I have become a die-hard fan of a very creative Podcast whose platform is all about movie reviews.

The idea is simple; two guys who work in the film industry review a new release, but with a catch! One has seen it, the other hasn't. Chris, the "scene" reviewer, has seen the movie and can talk about the plot, storyline, cinematic achievements, director, actors, etc. Jimmy, the "unseen" reviewer comments on whether he would rather see the film or not, based on marketing, buzz, the actors, director etc. They are very knowledgeable about the film industry and have some great sparring sessions, since differing opinions are on par for these guys! They also have DVD recommendations based on the genre of movie they are reviewing, and the recommendations are a great way to amp up on some interesting movies you may otherwise not have known about. Their new website also has great posts relating to the film industry or other interesting stuff they've seen on the interwebs. It's a unique way to decide whether you would rather be a "scene" or "unseen" for the film yourself!
