Shot/Reverse Shot: Episode 62 - Online Criticism


Inspired by nothing except a general sense of annoyance and frustration over the state of much of mainstream online criticism, Joe and I sat down to discuss some of the trends - including, but not limited to, endless lists, multi-page articles and a general movement away from long-form, considered film journalism - that we find most distressing. We also take time to talk about writers and sites that we like, but, hey, negativity sells, baby!

The SEO-Friendly Alternate Title for this episode is "This List Of 114 Things Wrong With Online Film Criticism Will Leave You Speechless."

If you choose the later, please rate it and leave a review because it helps us to get more listeners, and also gives us something to obsess over. Speaking of which, you can also Like us on Facebook, assuming that you do.
