I had a blast making over 350 episodes of this show. I reconsidered my relationship with art, opinions, and subjectivity, and became a better communicator and more insufferable cinephile along the way.

Putting @BlockbustingPod on the shelf today, with a special episode featuring Oscar chat from some previous guests. Go listen if you wanna hear the epilogue: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Our intrepid host @dietjay set out to make a safe space for artistic disagreements on this podcast, and final guest @haydenkristal appreciated it! Even though they disagreed about The VelociPastor. Listen to our show's swan song wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Two words: Frankie Mermaid. Two more words: Weird Character. Listen to @haydenkristal and @dietjay exchange more words on the merits and pitfalls of The Velocipastor on the final episode of Blockbusting! Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Blockbusting's final guest @HaydenKristal came with the HEAT to argue with @dietjay about 2018's The VelociPastor. Will these two crazy kids find some common ground on the last normal episode of the pod? Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Matthew Bright, if you're out there, @frontrowfilmrst wants answers! Specifically, to the question "can @dietjay @Asproge & @jessica_sproge please see the Tiptoes director's cut?" We know it's not your fault! Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

The "Gary Oldman plays a dwarf" film Tiptoes was originally VERY DIFFERENT, according to director Matthew Bright. What did @dietjay and @frontrowfilmrst's @Asproge @jessica_sproge think of the final product? Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Tiptoes: a film about little people that’s full of big mysteries, like “why did Kate Beckinsale agree to star in this movie?” Can @dietjay and @frontrowfilmrst’s @andrewsproge and @jessica_sproge decode them all? Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Ah, Footloose, the movie that proved dancing is political. (Even if Kevin Bacon’s not really doing the dancing.) Listen to @MortBurke and @dietjay bring new life to the 80’s classic on this week’s episode. Join the love wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Footloose: a movie that you can enjoy ironically *and* seriously! At least that's what @mortburke thinks. Listen to him open up about his fresh outlook on this 80's staple to @dietjay on this week's episode. Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

This week, @MortBurke and @DietJay cut Footloose then put a bandaid on the cut and kiss it better. Time to rehab this misunderstood middling 80’s movie! Join the love wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Finding a one-star review of Jojo Rabbit that wasn't hysterical "hOw DaRe yOu MaKe CoMeDy AbOuT tHe NaZiS" isn't easy, but @DietJay knew where to look. Listen to him and @VinceMancini on this week's episode – join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Ah, yes, the best part about comedy movies: when you have to explain that they're comedy movies. @vincemancini and @dietjay revisited very gummy satire Jojo Rabbit on this week's episode – join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

This week on the pod, @VinceMancini and @dietjay revisit Jojo Rabbit and discuss the pitfalls of making art that aims for palatable instead of poignant – especially when it's commenting on a touchy subject. Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

It wasn't just Harry Styles stans who loved Don't Worry Darling – a few boomers loved it too! @mccarthyredhead and @dietjay are on the "good review" hunt in this week's episode. Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Hard to buy that anyone is as dumb as Harry Styles is supposed to be in Don't Worry Darling. @mccarthyredhead and @dietjay had a lot to say about these ding-dongs on this week's episode! Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

This week on the pod, @mccarthyredhead and @dietjay worry a lot about Don't Worry Darling. Can they find answers to the many unanswered questions? Will any loose ends be tied up? Will Matt go hoarse from rage? Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Why did My Best Friend's Wedding have so many weird musical numbers instead of actual jokes? @haha_sarahwhite and @dietjay don't know, but they will say a little prayer for whoever made that choice. Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen

Unfortunately @haha_sarahwhite and @dietjay couldn't find as much love for My Best Friend's Wedding as poor Eugene did. Find out why on this week's episode! Join the hate wherever you get podcasts: blockbustingpod.captivate.fm/listen
