Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

What do you call a comedy that’s not funny, an attempt at edginess with no edge, and a film stuffed full of unlikeable characters that you’re not actually encouraged to hate? In our case, you call it “Go,” the 1999 piece of cultural refuse brought to us this week by guest Chris Dionne.
We’d love to force the many critics who gave this film their endorsement (91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes?!) to reckon with their own original impressions of this film, which wastes an interesting editing premise on a scattershot plot with no lessons to be learned.
As always, be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram @LikeThisMovie and feel free to help explain why this movie exists by using the hashtag #ITILTM on Twitter.
