Battleship Pretension is a movie discussion podcast started in 2007 by Tyler Smith and David Bax. Since then, we’ve done live comedy shows, written reviews, commentaries and more.
Battleship Pretension is a film discussion show and a film review website founded by Tyler Smith and David Bax. Beginning in March 2007, Battleship Pretension the show (known to fans simply as “BP”) embodies the type of laidback, free-flowing conversations had by lovers of film around the world. Battleship Pretension the website is dedicated to being a destination for those seeking worthwhile opinions on current releases, be they foreign, independent, studio pictures, theatrical, home video releases, etc. From its meager beginnings in Los Angeles, Battleship Pretension has amassed a worldwide audience and readership. From Germany to Korea to Australia, people have tuned in to share in Tyler and David’s love of film. As Battleship Pretension’s following continues to grow, the purpose remains the same: Reach out to the international cinephile community, invite them to join in the discussion and perhaps even start one of their own.
I want to comment here advocating for people to check out movies offered by their local libraries.
While I understand some of the smaller library systems may not get access to newer movies, some of them have amazing DVD collections, often borrowable completely for free. The Philadelphia library often gets new releases on DVD (along with thousands of older films), and allows you to request a copy to be sent from one library branch to yours.
For anyone who still wishes they could watch DVDs at a fraction of the cost (or even no cost) of streaming, I highly recommend checking out your library system. I probably take out 90-95% of my movies from the library and supplement the remaining 5-10% with streaming. This is a great way to save money!

As someone with only one subscription streaming service, I was one of the regular Redbox users, up until they stopped updating their selections (the last one I rented was Barbie, as just seeing Oppenheimer in a theater was enough for one day). I can get DVDs from the library (presumably after a longer lag), but it will be missed. I watched In a Violent Nature in the theater though, so I didn’t have to wait (though it was an even longer drive to get to a theater that was playing that, though not compared to the one I went to for Oppenheimer).
