Critically Important: The Pilot Episode!

Episode Summary

The inaugural episode of the Critically Important podcast! Listen to our pilot edition where the crew of Jason, Mallory and Espo discuss which movie trailers have raised their expectations (spoiler: not the one featuring a creature that doesn't skip leg day), insult Jason for his love of Les Misérables ("the *checks notes* Academy Award-winning version" - Jason), and rank their top superhero film performances of all-time.

Episode Notes

Great Expectations: The crew discuss recently released trailers and whether or not they managed to raise or lower their expectations for such movies as "Joker," "Always Be My Maybe," and "Sonic the Hedgehog with the Horrible Teeth and Overly Muscular Legs."

Interrogation: Mallory and Espo look through the movies that Jason has rated in the Letterboxd app (https://letterboxd.com/) and grill him on some of his more questionable choices (specifically: they DO NOT agree with him when it comes to Les Mis).
