About this listen

Have you ever watched a movie you were excited for but felt disappointed in some way? Were you left wondering why it wasn't better? This is the podcast that has the answers! We review films that were highly anticipated, but were for a variety of reasons either disappointing, underachieving, or misunderstood, and ramble about why they weren't better. This is a podcast for film nerds and for anyone who enjoys some lighthearted, semi-serious, in-depth discussion.Why Wasn't It Better? Art

  • Mission: Impossible III | The One That Saved the Series?
    May 6 2026

    Mission: Impossible III has a strange legacy. It kept the series going after the ill-received second entry. In some ways it served as a soft reboot. It set things up for the series to dominate in the next decade. Yet it is often overlooked. Why? Should Tom Cruise have done better, or is this now underrated? Guest Tom Paradiso has chosen to accept the mission of discussing it.

  • Solo: A Star Wars Story | Completely Unncessary
    May 4 2026

    The film that holds the notorious distinction of being the only film in the franchise to fail at the box office, Solo: A Star Wars Story was supposed to work. An origin story about one of cinema's most beloved heroes, directed by the steady hand of Ron Howard? Turns out Disney severely miscalculated. But nearly a decade on, is it really as bad as its box office numbers? Or does it deserve some love? Guest Adam Hecht is back for some Star Wars therapy.
