A friend recommended this podcast to me at work and it’s made my commute go by so smoothly. Listening to these guys is like entering an intellectual wonderland of film history, recommendations, debates and cultural criticism. Lots of fun for the casual movie lover and for film students! Really cool balance.
Breaking the 180 looks at movies and cinema history in a fresh and insightful way you just don’t get in other film podcasts. The Halloween episode in particular is a fun look at international horror films that you wouldn’t hear about in most movie commentary. The hosts are also dynamic and always engaging to listen to. They have a personal touch that’s smart but not pretentious.
