Hosts Alex Mattis and Julio Olivera take on popular opinion, trashing movies everyone loves and praising movies everyone hates. Visit their website at www.wearethecontrarians.com
Although the hosts have claimed that Duplex and Christmas with the Kranks are the worst movies they have watched for the podcast this show is still worth checking out.
As the name suggests the hosts are Contrarians to the critical acclaim or shunning of films, so if you're interested in hearing some people defend trash and slander gold make sure to add The Contrarians to your list.
Even though Contrarian’s Corner is sometimes facetious, Alex and Julio always bring up some thought provoking ideas that I hadn’t thought of before when watching the movie they’re discussing. Not to mention that Alex drops a ton of professional wrestling references and I feel like I understand his points on another level. Julio is a sweetheart so don’t say I didn’t say anything nice about you Julio.
A genuinely good fun exploration of cinema, reviews and established ideas about what makes a cinematic classic and a flop. The two hosts play off of each other in a witty and charming way that will have you wanting more!
