I want to audition for the new show


This was going so bad, I didn't find out till looking at IMDB that it was cancelled. That last duo couldn't share a pulse. The story I saw said that Roger is looking for a new team, thumbs reinstated as well. I've been self-producing my owner film criticism web show for over a year. Check it out is you like, but I think it's easy to agree that I would be an improvement over the short-stinted recent hosts:

While you're reviews have pretty good production values, your delivery is lacking. And your insight into film makes Ben Lyons look like....Roger Ebert.

"While I wasn't originally on-board with the idea of a hot tub as a time machine..." Huh? You weren't on board with it? It's a movie called "Hot Tub Time Machine." Was it not realistic enough for you? Were you not on board with Marty and Doc Brown going back to the future in "Back to the Future?" Would it have been better had it been "Swimming Pool Time Machine" or "Coffee Mug Time Machine."

You would get killed if you had any legit film critic taking on your points.

Sorry man, but you don't have what it takes to audition for Ebert's show. Scott and Phillips were the best choices after Roeper left...

i'll give you some props because i saw a few reviews and they were watchable but i do not agree at all that you would bring an improvement over the previous hosts. that includes the bens who i did not like. they were pretty entertaining to watch but i felt one was a douche and the other an idiot. not that i'm callin you those words, but i like ao scott and phillips. you do what you do quite well but its not ready for broadcast. i have to mention that i really don't like 'the worlds toughest movie critic' thing. thats a great way to start off on the wrong foot

I think they already have their new critics in place, as Roger mentioned on his blog.
