Agenda based coverage of Last of Us 2. Defending inane writing and painful acting. Feel like it must be radical politics blinding the hosts.

Been listening for 10+ years. Really loving Talitha on Last of Us coverage. Jim is great but she brings some refreshing energy to coverage. Keep it up!

Here for the Last of Us pods. Enjoy the content, but deducting a stat because the main host can’t pronounce/remember the term Seraphite to save his life lol

Love these guys, they make every show they cover better. Both very entertaining to listen to but do a perfect level of deep dive and attention to details.

The review of episodes 7 to 9 of Andor is an utter disaster. It misses obvious facts in ways that are too numerous to count. Bring in a person was unfamiliar with the show was an utter mess. I have stopped listening to the episode. Part of the problem is the hosts have not listened to what the show creators have said about characters. It’s too bad, but the show hosts need to do some background work. Btw, the senate complex was part of Westworld! (From the Watch) Demoted to A ball.

Re: Congress. Hysterical accident. Agree the insanity of most members of Congress aligns with the YGs about now. Crazy Dictator Shauna seems to be in charge in both scenarios.

Seriously, sometimes these guys are so good at talking about stuff that it pisses me off. 😎 I can’t listen at work because I’ll probably laugh loud.

I enjoy their insights and how different they are. Sometimes it gets a bit nick picky like all tiny moments that aren’t possible in the moment turns on the sarcasm. I always yell “Suspend your disbelief!! It’s a story!” But they are thoughtful and aren’t trolling when they don’t like something. Its probably a feature of the fact they are examining it, not just enjoying it.

Always a funny, thoughtful, and thorough take on everything these guys cover. And even though it was several years after it aired, I probably wouldn’t have discovered The Expanse, one of my all-time favorite shows, without A.Ron and Jim frequently referring to it and just how awesome and under-appreciated it was.

I always enjoy hearing their thoughtful views on various shows. They watch the episodes multiple times, and have a good discussion.

Perfectly co-hosted and endlessly enjoyable.

Here’s a wild concept- actually watching something before you spend an hour talking about it! If that’s too much, a simple Google search would answer your Boys Meets World questions instead of spending the entire time asking why stuff is happening. Also, what’s up with all the dead air pauses? Either prep your show better or edit those out.

I used to listen to these guys years ago—followed them through “breaking bad”. I quit listening when they threw up a paywall for most of their content. This morning for some reason their name, Bald Move, popped into my head and I looked them up. I am looking forward to listening to them again.

Always eager to back leftist politics.

Wrote a long review for Bald Move Prestige, but will summarize by saying these guys are great at what they do.

Been digging these guys side projects (House of Dragon, We Own This City) and found a goldmine by discovering their ongoing Bald Move Pulp show. Perfect companion to ongoing shows and also a great way to reminisce old films/shows (Star Wars, Unforgiven) and discovers new ones (Expanse, Foundation). A new fave that’s been playing about half of my waking life since discovering it.

I wish I could give you ten stars for the Dukes of Hazzard episode!!!!! Love you Jim and A Ron, and I really enjoyed Jay’s laugh. 🤩

I’ve been rockin with Jim & A. Ron since my first search for a GOT accompanying podcast. They had the most reviews on Apple so I gave them a listen and literally never stopped. So many of the shows I’ve watched over the last 5-7 years have been because they have a pod cast about it. From Walking Dead to Breaking Bad to The Leftovers to Mr. Robot to The Expanse to House of the Dragon and on and on… “that’s my man, and I’ma stick beside him!” For #1, they’re frickin’ hilarious. B, they’re super smart. And lastly, they’re consistent with their insights and depth of conversation. At this point, they feel like my friends.

Started listening to these guys early in the Game of Thrones series and kept listening. Every episode has been delightfully insightful, fun, and even sometimes educational! Jim and A. Ron are great hosts with good banter, while offering nice perspectives on the various shows and movies. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

While I do believe these guys work very hard on the show. It onetime doesn’t show in the content they deliver. Maybe they take on too many shows at once, but a lot of times they don’t know characters names, get characters mixed up with others, completely forget whole scenes, and some concepts go right over their heads. Compared to other tv review podcasts, it comes off as lazy content. How hard is it to have IMDb open as you record so you at least know the characters names by episode 5? Maybe give the show your full attention when you watch it. Or, maybe take notes.

Love these guys and their insights! Adds another layer of enjoyment to todays film and television.

You guys really should cover andor. It is a sophisticated brilliant political espionage rebellion story in Star Wars world. Best show this year

Stop saying leal. Please.

Man I love these guys. Pop culture criticism at its peak. A.Ron’s reference to the Ghostbusters 2 poster this week had me laughing for maybe 5 minutes.

Ohh dear...so now anyone who has a different opinion from A-Ron apparently has no idea what they’re talking about. Way to alienate non-book readers or really anybody with an alternative opinion. He’s apparently just trying to “teach us all about political motivations” and everything is common folk have ‘missed’. Jim is reduced to needing to repeat the same 2 lines - “Well, I guess we’ll have to see what happens” or “Yeah, it could be...”, otherwise, he gets attacked and accused of thinking the “whole thing is a joke”. This has devolved into a joyless routine, mixed with ads and plugs. With so many other podcast options now, this team needs to rediscover why they’re doing this if they want to keep any listeners.

Die hard bald move fan from way back

They are basically msnbc or the view ladies at this point. Lots of other options but sad bc I really liked their thrones and breaking bad coverage

Found these guys back in 2015 when I was looking for a good GOT podcast. Loved their insights and knowledge of the show and story. The last few years and more recently the wokeness of the show and seeing old movies through modern lens have really turn me away from the podcast. There’s better movie podcast on YouTube if you look for it

Jim and A. Ron break it down with their patented blend of wit, critique and a few good ole F-Bombs.

I’ve been a Bald Move club member for about 5 years now and I love everything they do. They do great deep dives into the content and I always get something new out of the shows/movies that they cover. I frequently re-listen to episodes and listen to episodes for things I haven’t even watched. Their club content is great and I’ve gotten so many recommendations for shows/board games/video games from their weekly Friday lunch episodes. Love these guys!

Been listening to Jim and A.Ron for years, sometimes even listen to them cover movies/shows I don’t even watch just because they are fun to listen to.

I appreciate all their takes on the shows and movies i am watching. Amazing, engaging work and conversation. Their review of Willy Wonk and the Chocolate had me laughing out loud. I have never really examined this movie, but just accepted it as part of my childhood, so hearing a thoughtful analysis was hysterical! “No self respecting Bavarian would be lapping up that chocolate.” 🤣🍫🤣

I’ve been listening to these guys for so long their voices give me comfort. (Love ARons wife too.) The GOT, Mad Men and Leftovers content went above and beyond, amazing deep dives. They don’t just recap, they give great insight and it’s clear they do their homework. Thanks for all the years of hard work.

I’ve been listening to everything Jim and Aron have been doing for years. They’re a staple in my podcast queue and their views on the wide variety of shows and movies they cover are wonderful. Always excited to see a new Baldmove cast pop up!

I really enjoyed listening to your reviews of both seasons of the Mandalorian, so obviously I’m going to listen to you two discuss Loki! I totally watched some Clone Wars episodes during Mandolorian from your suggestion to get a better insight to Bo-Katan and Ashoka. I was very happy I did so. A. Ron makes me laugh out loud at times and Jim is a nice balance to A. Ron. Even if you guys go off on a tangent, you both seem to bring it back around and give new connections to the theme of the episode. You two never disappoint, and I look forward to hearing your views on what I’m watching at the same time. Thank you!!

Please cover the new Netflix show Ratched

Great pods

I started listening to baldmove since their early game of thrones coverage and have been a huge fan ever since. Their honest and in depth conversations always feel personal and authentic while still offering a kind of scholastic insight into everything they cover. I often look forward to their podcasts as much, if not more, than the episodes or movies they’re based on. I like a lot of pop culture/ tv podcasts but no one does it like Baldmove, they’re the best by a long shot!

Jim and ARon are awesome! Love these guys! I especially love their coverage of The Leftovers. That’s up there with Show Hoppers and Post Show Recaps as my favorite coverage of my favorite series.

Disappointed lately, the Deadwood movie review was sloppy- not watching the entire series hurt but Started listening because of GoT but now have gone to the beginning and listen to literally every podcast whether I watch the shows or not. Update yay!!! TwD is back!!!

Nice recap of the Witcher series but dear god, smack ARon in the back of the head until he pronounces Geralt with a hard “G”.

Very good I absolutely recommend. But would appreciate some sort of transition into the ads instead of a sentence finishing and then some different audio for an ad for 2 minutes.

So I was trying to listen and enjoy the episode on season one of The Witcher but as usual I found it difficult with ARon constant banter. He was talking over the ladies and making lame attempts to pronounce the names of the characters and kingdoms. I appreciate humor but when it’s ignorant and childish not so much. Get it together and respect your co-hosts the material and your audience.

Have been a longtime BM listener, and they continue to deliver great content.

I understand criticism of a show but when the reviewer is ‘too good for the material’, why do it at all? Cecile is too high brow for this show and should work on material worthy of her ‘upward sniff’.

Love the pod! Loving His Dark Materials so far. I never read the books but I’m definitely going to after this season and I hope they have a bigger cgi budget next season

Love this Padcast. My wife and I listen to these two every episode same as we did GOT recaps.

I loved Jim and A-Ron’s podcasts on GOT, Sharp Objects and Westworld. And I was ok with the woke references there, as they were simple light touches. Now the podcast on His Dark Materials featuring Cecily and Alexis, is very interesting and informed on the books, but the constant virtue signaling and pointing out instances of “the patriarchy” and “misogyny” is rampant and extremely distracting. I am a woman, and not conservative, but it makes me cringe every time one of them apologizes to the other for interrupting and the other explains that she’s just been trained by the patriarchy to be overly apologetic. Internal insecurities in Lyra are standard for a child, any child - it is not the result of misogyny in the books. It’s getting difficult to get through the discussion, which at times is very interesting, without rolling my eyes when they go off on a tangent on social and gender equality in a fantasy book and try desperately to relate it to our current society. Please dial back on the social commentary and focus on the show and book connections.

I was a huge fan and club member of these guys. In the last couple years, though, the more I listened, the less I enjoyed. Pros ARon and Jim have been friends for a long time and they have a good rapport. ARon tries to find a deeper meaning in what he watches. Cons They very rarely have different, let alone opposing, opinions anymore. ARon has dominated the conversation more and more over time. In trying to find deeper meaning, they tend to spiral into tinfoil hat theorizing for long chunks of time. They have gotten more nitpicky over time and it’s just not enjoyable to listen to. Moreover, they used to bring something to the table other than criticism. They used to work harder at looking up references they didn’t understand or background information that would provide a better understanding of the material. Now it just seems like they hit record and blast away. Oh and ARon is woke just in case you forgot.

Love the bald move crew, and Cecli is an amazing addition!!! So stoked for their coverage of mandolirian!
