Let’s be honest. The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, are two school teachers. They’re not exactly rolling in dough, especially since this podcast is free. No matter how you slice it, they are middle-class folks who back little guys taking on The Man in all its shapes and forms. Call them some regular Robin Hoods. They’ll gladly watch a little cash get taken from the rich and given to the poor.

For their 130th episode, two non-Reddit film critics, two financially-challenged dads, and two invested teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, welcome back frequent guest Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front back for the second week of three theatrical reviews. This week, Cati and Don calculate the millions of dollars and cents getting squeezed by Dumb Money from director Craig Gillespie. This firebranded message movie is making a splash, but is it a good one? Listen to hear from our two perspectives. Come for the shared challenge and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
