Snooty and Goon

314 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 5 years ago - ★★★★ - 7 ratings

SNOOTY is a self-ascribed genius and aficionado of cinema. Nothing matters more to him than the elements of a great film: stunning cinematography, sharp writing, brilliant direction, and seamless acting. Unfortunate, then, that he was born into an era of remakes, cash-grabs, sequels, blockbusters, and studio filler. Armed with his wit and his turtleneck, SNOOTY brings the harsh eye and the sharp tongue that today's films desperately need!

GOON is an easygoing, fun-loving, man of adventure and romance. Or so he wishes. Actually, he's a guy that far too easily gets immersed in a story. With the remarkable ability to find joy and entertainment in even the worst films made, he never leaves a theater disappointed, except when there's a love triangle. GOON hates the love triangles. With nothing more than an upbeat attitude and the ongoing mission to drive SNOOTY insane, GOON is ready to kick back and share his love of film with you.

When their powers combine, SNOOTY and GOON form an unstoppable juggernaut of cinematic criticism. No film budget is too bloated! No spectacle is too pandering! Together, SNOOTY and GOON review the films you've probably already watched and tell you what you should have thought.

Every week, Snooty and Goon will be bringing you the "finest" in reviews, criticisms, and commentaries straight from our mouths to your ears.

Tune in Monday mornings to hear what you should have thought about the what you saw that weekend.
