Free With Ads is a movie comedy show with a beautifully simple standard: the film has to be floating around online for free, preferably with loud ad breaks and questionable dignity. That premise gives it permission to cover almost anything. One week can be Hackers, all rollerblades, fake cyberspace, payphones, and internet paranoia. Another can be Death of a Salesman, where the room slows down just enough to register the pain underneath the American dream before swerving back into jokes. Jordan Morris and Emily Fleming bring the energy of comedy friends who trust the tangent as much as the topic. They do discuss the movies. They remember scenes, name actors, compare performances, and notice when a director like Joe Dante should be letting the chaos rip harder. But the appeal is in the route they take. The Burbs becomes suburban paranoia, Satanist dream gags, Gremlins trivia, and Tom Hanks behaving badly. Underworld becomes Kate Beckinsale’s impossible cool, leather-era action heroines, clove-cigarette mood, and vampire meme callbacks. Ouija and Ouija: Origin of Evil give them horror setup, board-game absurdity, Mike Flanagan comparisons, and the special awkwardness of watching something spooky alone. Godzilla All Monsters Attack lets them talk monster spectacle through the imagination of a kid and a lizard whose size keeps refusing to behave. Matt Lieb, identified again and again as the super producer, keeps interrupting the flow in the best way with drops, stings, and bits that become part of the show’s grammar. The tone is fast, irreverent, and unpolished on purpose. It can be crude. It can also be unexpectedly warm about actors, craft, and the strange comfort of movies that once lived on cable, mall culture, classroom assignments, or late-night internet brain rot. Free With Ads works because the free movie is only half the discovery. The other half is what everyone remembers, misremembers, mocks, defends, and drags into the room with it.
Made for: Best for comedy listeners who like movie talk messy, specific, nostalgic, and tangent-heavy. It suits people who enjoy cult films, bargain-bin streaming, old internet references, horror goofs, and pop-culture arguments that move faster than a formal review.
What sets it apart: The hook is not just reviewing bad or odd movies; it is using free-with-ads titles as a launchpad for dense comic banter, recurring soundboard bits, and surprisingly attentive scene talk. It feels more like a chaotic watch-party debrief than a critic’s capsule.
Why pay for streaming services when movies like Timecop and Grease 2 can be watched for nothing more than the cost of enduring a few loud, unskippable ads? Join us every week for a dive into the internet’s bargain bin! Emily Fleming and Jordan Morris are real friends, real comedy writers and real cheapskates. They met working in comedy writing rooms and bonded over their love of “trashy” pop culture and saving a buck. They’re combining these loves for the podcast “Free With Ads,” a movie review show dedicated to the weird, amazing, inexplicable movies streaming free on an internet nea

Rock and Roll High School is treated as teen-angst first and a Ramones movie second, and that fits the episode's scrappy, restless mood. The hosts move from the setup to old-web nostalgia and personal detours without really losing the thread, which keeps the talk loose in a way…
A leather-soaked vampire hangout that gets as much mileage out of memes and cool outfits as it does out of the plot.
Free With Ads turns Underworld into a very specific vampire hangout, with Jordan Morris, Emily Fleming, and Matt Lieb riffing on the film's leather-heavy look, Kate Beckinsale's cool factor, and the late-90s, early-2000s lane of black-clad women that runs through Carrie Ann Moss…
A playful Burbs discussion that keeps returning to the film's paranoid, joke-heavy first half.
