Last week, The Playlist introduced podcast Adjust Your Tracking under its umbrella (listen to their latest episode here). And now we welcome another new podcast, called Over/Under Movies. This show features three critics — Oktay Ege Kozak, Ryan Oliver and AYT co-host Erik McClanahan — who choose one overrated and one underrated film within the same genre, style, or tone to discuss in each episode. Sometimes the critics agree on the picks, and sometimes they don’t, but the conversation is always lively. Make sure to subscribe to The Playlist Podcast iTunes feed as that’s where all these shows will live first and foremost.

This episode focuses on Ryan’s picks, as the critics dive into two R-rated comic book adaptations in "Watchmen" and "Dredd."
