Our Editor's Take

Mostly Nitpicking is a movie and TV review podcast that isn't afraid to be honest. It explores the good, the bad, and the flaws of even the most beloved films. It is humorous, entertaining, and fun to listen to.

Nando from the YouTube channel Nando V Movies hosts this podcast. He brings his familiar charisma and his cohosts, DJ and Diggins, add to it. Together, these three film enthusiasts explore the pop culture landscape's best and worst. They share their honest thoughts, brutal opinions, and tiny nitpicks on current films. Whether it is a new Marvel film or the latest Star Wars show, they review it with humor and charm.

In each episode,the podcast hosts focus on reviewing one piece of media. These are often the newest franchise films or popular television shows. Films reviewed in the past include Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Expend4bles, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. They also assess animated films. These include Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and the Super Mario Bros. Movie. The trio also discuss relevant topics, such as opinions on the latest movie trailers.

Modern franchise films aren't all that the hosts like to scrutinize. In the lead-up to a big film debut, they often give a retrospective on the previous installments. Those reviews include Expendables 3, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and even 2003's The Haunted Mansion. Nando, DJ, and Diggins dissect these films to see if they are better or worse than everyone remembers. There are also retrospective episodes of the podcast for films and franchises from the past. One particularly noteworthy example is the Twilight Saga. The hosts provide their amusing brand of commentary on this once popular series. These episodes, as well as many others, are hilarious to listen to.

The Mostly Nitpicking podcast is funny, entertaining, and sometimes brutally honest. With hosts who are not afraid to point out and poke fun at flaws in even their favorite films, it is easy to see the appeal. Such sincerity and hilarity are what keep its loyal listeners returning for more.
