The Fan & The Critic

Carson and Paolo love movies. They don't always love the same movies — and that's the whole show. Two suburban dads who probably spend more time thinking about film than is healthy — get together every month or so, bring in some friends, and talk about movies for way too long. Sometimes it's a deep dive into a genre. Sometimes it's a year-end list that causes more conflict than it should. Sometimes we're not totally sure what it is, but we had a good time making it and hopefully you'll have a good time listening to it. Instagram: thefanandthecriticAll rights reserved Art

    May 4 2026
    Instagram: thefanandthecritic We discuss the range of Greek Mythology movies that have been created so far and "anticipate" the new Odyssey movie. We decide who has been the best Zeus and Hercules so far, talk about which Greek stories we would love to be seen made, and then cast our own Greek Mythology Cinematic Universe.

    Instagram: thefanandthecritic I don't know what the proper title for this one should be y'all. Ben and Elon drop by and we talk about movies that were part of our formative years and made us the people we are today. It gets weird, then it gets serious, then it gets weird again - and then we play a game about horror movies.

    Ep. 69 - Top 10 Movies of 2025
    Jan 24 2026
    Instagram: thefanandthecritic Carson and Paolo talk about their favorite movies from the past year. As usual, Carson's list is full of pretentious indie movies and Paolo's list is full of dumb Hollywood movies. There's something for everyone! (note: I've used this description for the last three years and it's finally not true! Carson's list is full of schlock and Paolo's list is almost exclusively horror movies!)
