Critics On Tap
CRITICS ON TAP is a weekly podcast where a quartet of creatives/comedians come together to watch the latest films and converse about their merit (or lack thereof) in the most in-depth, organic, relatable way possible: immediately after seeing them, alcohol in hand, and with no shortage of jokes.
"Quick Take" episodes are always spoiler-free and quickly let you know what we thought and if it's worth your time to see.
"Full Discussion" episodes start with our weekly shout-outs before diving deep into a spoiler-heavy discussion about that week's film. This is best enjoyed after you've seen it, of course.
