Screen Test of Time

19

The Screen Test of Time is a podcast where Suzan Eraslan and David Daw set out to watch every movie ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, in order, from the first awards season to eventually the present day. Each week, they watch and review a different movie, and when they've watched everything nominated in a particular year, they tell you whether the Oscar went to the right one!

    Disappointing
    The point of this podcast is to take classic Hollywood films and compare them to today’s imperfect sensibilities. This translates to every movie being sexist and racist. Pretty dull.

    This….is a podcast
    Two people with zero experience or authority on film got bored and started a podcast. They have no use for OSCAR choices, so they chose to focus on nominated films. One of them had never seen CITIZEN KANE before- that’s how little they have experienced classic movies. If they hate musicals, or other genres - DON’T WATCH THEM! How could such a biased review be useful. These people have mostly bad things to say about some of the best movies ever, but - hey, they loved MAGIC MIKE.

    Yuk
    Contemporary woke analysis of old movies - thanks but no thanks.

    Not as good as it could be
    The hosts have great rapport with each other and can be very funny. I wish they did even a basic level of looking things up on Wikipedia though. They’re not that knowledgeable about film history and it shows again and again. Lastly, the profanity is intense even for me and I have a mouth like a sailor.

    Love this podcast!
    I listen to several podcasts about movies, and I tend to gravitate toward those podcasts that deconstruct, and analyze, all the aspects of any given film. I am, apparently, a movie nerd. I am not sure how I missed this one, because Suzan and David are funny and astute and willing to speak truth to classics! I applaud them foe slogging through horrible movies. We all know the Academy has nominated movies for, and awarded the Oscar to, some very badly made films. Those episodes are hilarious! Yet, listening to them express appreciation, and mad respect, to certain fils that have stood the screen test of time, is a joy! You will never regret time spent listening to this podcast, especially for those of us who nerd out on the movies! ETA: The podcast where they discuss with “Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing”, is lol funny, and just great!

    Funny, Engaging, and Educational!
    I’m not much of a movie buff, but it’s still fun listening to SToT. It’s wonderful to listen to David and Suzan every week; they have an easy rapport, and it’s obvious they’re both having a lot of fun. Even when the movie is abysmal (or even abominable...), it’s still great to laugh (and learn) on this enjoyable tour through cinema history. 10/10, would recommend!

    Never trust a great movie poster.
    Screen Test of Time is funny, smart and engaging. Going through early Hollywood's best picture nominees with David and Suzan has been a highlight of my weekly podcast listening since I found them, and I'm looking forward to what's to come as they eventually move into the modern day. The hosts' conversations are a lot of fun to listen in on, even without having seen many of the films they've made it through thus far, and there's something so charming in their approach; I find them particularly funny when the movie is awful, and infectiously delightful when there's something to love about it.

    An Epic and Hilarious Endeavor!
    This is an underrated movie series. Their dedication despite suffering through worse-than-expected films is equal parts commendable and hilarious.

    great if you love movies. or if you like them. or if you're indifferent to them. just listen, okay?
    This is a great podcast for anyone who is interested in movies. Susan and David are great and hilarious, and always have insightful & funny things to say about whichever Oscar-nominated movie they slogged through this week :)
