Two Thumbs Down with Mike and Ryan

Mike Park, Ryan Schumaker

Booking Overview

A conversational film-analysis show focused on movies that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert both rated negatively, with occasional external guests such as filmmakers and film-history authors. PR agencies could credibly pitch filmmakers, screenwriters, film historians, authors, and scholars with relevant expertise in overlooked, cult, or critically maligned films; booking difficulty is likely low because the show features accessible working professionals rather than only major celebrities.
