The best podcasts for Review Shows With An Edge

Best friends who share one brain cell get inebriated each week and discuss the movies that made them the Dames of Doom.

Welcome to Sparrow UnderReview, the podcast where JR Sparrow takes an honest, thoughtful look at the entertainment and stories shaping our lives. From blockbuster movies and binge-worthy TV series to video games, books, and great food, JR delivers balanced reviews that go beyond first impressions. Expect insightful commentary, practical observations, and genuine opinions—without the hype or unnecessary negativity. Whether revisiting timeless classics or breaking down the latest releases, every episode explores what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters. If you’re looking for intelligent, entertaining conversations with a healthy dose of common sense, you’ve found your next favorite podcast.

On the BiTTE delivers an alternative take on film reviews, uncovering everything from arthouse to mainstream cinema (without taking ourselves too seriously). Self-confessed cinephiles: Anthropologist Laura and Filmmaker Ryan expose the films brave enough to have their actors bare all.

Your go-to source for ratings and recommendations of past and present films. We'll help you decide whether you should see a movie in theaters, catch it on rental or streaming service, or avoid it. We plan to bring you bi-weekly shows in a variety of different formats. We'll dive into different films and review them for what they are, not what mainstream critics think they should be based on the current political or social climates.

All bad films have a silver lining. At least, that's the theory Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre are hoping to prove in this podcast.
