What's Our Verdict Reviews

Cinematic Judge and Jury

Out of the ashes of the internet a podcast was formed. Four friends from different backgrounds united to create a pod for the common man. Devoid of the tedium of critically acclaimed podcasts, these brave souls embarked on a holy mission, to bring the light-hearted attitude of discussing movies with friends to the podcasting scene. However, due to unforeseen budget cuts two of their number were lost to the void of the internet. Doomed for eternity to find nothing but cat videos and food challenges. The remaining heroes, JJ and Mattson searched far and wide for a suitable replacement but in the end settled for Alec. These two and a half heroes continue in their mission to bring an enjoyable conversation about movies and tv shows directly to you, our viewers. Join us wherever fine podcasts can be found and chime into the conversation to join our crew of misfits.

About your hosts

Mattson Heiner

The Real Ginge everyone! Mattson loves to binge watch the latest tv shows, movies, and deep dive into plot points. Besides trying to be a movie critic he enjoys all things sports and a warm pan of brownies!

Alec Burgess

A connoisseur of all fine cinema, mediocre cinema, and even poor cinema you may think that Alec would have a better understanding of how movies work, and you'd be wrong. This self-styled man child believes that movies should not only be entertaining, but fun as well. Unburdened by things like reality he plans on continuing to live his best life while thumbing his nose at film critics. Enough of that noise, now let's get it!

JJ Crowder

JJ, The Man, The Myth, The Legend...ok that's actually only true for the amount of movies and tv shows he has seen and for calling his co-hosts by the wrong names during introductions. But for real, he has seen A LOT of movies and TV.
