- Best Movie Podcast
They call the Filmspotting listenership a “family” for a reason — it stems from the hosts, Adam and Josh, setting a tone of warmth, humor, intelligence and respect that ought to make any listener feel welcome, engaged, and comfortable. There’s no high-brow snark or clickbait outrage here — just really good film analysis in the manner of a lively and respectful conversation among friends. The hosts’ cinephile credentials are legit, and their critical insights are incisive and clear. I frequently ... more

United Statesa month ago - Der beste Filmpodcast
Filmspotting ist der beste Filmpodcast, den ich kenne. Adam und Josh sind immer extrem gut vorbereitet und haben interessante und oft unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf die Filme, die sie besprechen. Beide sprechen amerikanisches Englisch ohne besonderen Akzent und die Aufnahmen sind in sehr hoher Qualität, sodass ich nie Probleme habe, ihrer Argumentation zu folgen.

Germanya month ago - Take SVU off this feed
I’m sympathetic that people need to make money, but the inclusion of SVU (and my subsequent accidental listening of it) onto the Filmspotting feed has not only made me dumber (because of the lack of insight that one of the hosts had) but also angry in how dismissive and actively not funny one of the hosts was (while clearly being so self satisfied in the most annoying way). It was just so bad it’s forced me to leave this review. Please take them off the feed.
Apple Podcasts1Dcdcdc83United Statesa month ago - Remove the non film spotting podcasts from feed
The recent decision to expand the feed to include non Film Spotting podcasts is frustrating. The other podcasts are third rate or of no interest and are now attempting to be nepo-babied by film spotting - the entire purpose of following a podcast is to avoid sifting through others. So dumb.
Apple Podcasts1Mark from CalifUnited States3 months ago - SVU Disaster
Love Filmspotting. (Even though I disagree with Josh about 50% of the time). 5 Stars. But today I got served up an episode of SVU. Wow. Just terrible. Completely rudderless and devoid of any real point of view. The 1st 1/2 of the episode was ostensibly about Spider-Man, but no one ever really made a point or insightful observation of any kind, except that one of the hosts doesn’t like animated movies. The second half just turned into even more meandering with no real theme of any kind at whi... more
