Does It Hold Up?

We love being positive about movies and many of our episodes not about a specific movie focus on the good side of cinema. But there are also a lot of things that irk us like no other when it comes to modern filmmaking and film watching. So it's time to talk about some of the biggest complaints we have with modern cinema from small single movie issues to large industry wide problems. Hope you enjoy.
