  • Great podcast!

    Amazing podcast with some very good limited series as well. The ‘86 and films at 40 series have been great to relive all those movies from my childhood and the new Strange New Wednesdays pairs well with one of the best written Star Trek series ever!

  • A binge-worthy podcast

    The guys at the equally awesome Surely You Can’t Be Serious podcast first pointed me toward A Film By .., and I’m so glad they did. Every episode features Jeff, Brad, and others engaging in a detailed, nuanced discussion of various films, prominent and more obscure alike, in a convivial, conversational tone. It’s the audio equivalent of sitting around a bar table with your pals hashing out a list of your favorite films. Highly recommended!

  • Chicken Soup for the Film Buff 🎬

    This podcast does a great job highlighting some of the greatest parts of movies (e.g. “Ack Ack” in Mar’s Attacks) or provocative perspectives on characters and plot points; like who’s the good guy in Ferris Bueller’s Day off or that the coolest bully of all time is James Spader in Pretty in Pink! They also incorporate fun games, like which 86’ character would you like to see appear in the same movie; my own contribution, Sgt.
