Double Elvis Productions and iHeartRadio Launch New Podcast 鈥淐itizen Critic鈥 where Hosts Scott Janovitz and Greg Conley Critique The Critics and Review The Reviews

Out Now On Tim Burton鈥檚 Batman (1989)

NEW YORK - February 10, 2019 - Today, Double Elvis Productions in partnership with iHeartRadio announce the new podcast where hosts Scott Janovitz and Greg Conley discuss beloved slices of pop culture, whether it be music, movies, or television, and together riff on the reviews and critical commentary that occurred at the time. Episode 1, focusing on Tim Burton鈥檚 1989 Batman film, will be distributed through the iHeartPodcast Network beginning today and can be heard now on iHeartRadio and everywhere else podcasts are available. New episodes will be available each Monday. 

鈥淎s people who鈥檝e each worked in entertainment, and of course as pop culture consumers in general, we鈥檝e spent our lives perplexed by professional critics whose takes are so often at odds with our own,鈥 explains Janovitz. 鈥淭he instinct is to assume your own tastes are somehow culturally flawed. But there comes a time when you realize it might not be you. Come to find out that no matter how iconic or celebrated some work of art is, there鈥檚 always some dopey opinion from a critic who just did not get it. It鈥檚 a well-worn truism that everyone鈥檚 a critic. And that was before the Internet. Now everyone鈥檚 a critic, and everyone has a platform.鈥

鈥淭he first episode, on Batman, was an eye-opening experience. The newspaper critic鈥檚 assessment was obviously the result of taking the movie too seriously, yet she complains that it鈥檚 no fun. Put that alongside some dueling petitions regarding Michael Keaton, and some hysterical user reviews of the DVD and other Batman related products, and you get a nice little snapshot of just how intensely people want to convey their opinions. Voicing the opinion becomes more the point than the opinion itself.鈥

鈥淚 begged these guys not to make a podcast, but they wouldn鈥檛 listen to me,鈥 said Executive Producer and 鈥楧isgraceland鈥 Host Jake Brennan. 鈥淩egardless, what they鈥檝e come up with is hysterical, smart, mildly offensive at times and wildly entertaining.鈥

Listen to 鈥 now and follow the podcast on iHeartRadio to be alerted when new episodes are available.
