United States5 years ago - Good Bye but listen to the old episodes
They have broken our hearts by leaving. However, I plan to listen to the old episodes and catch up. This was the best movie review cast. 😭
Apple Podcasts5lamotteskiddalyboomboomUnited States7 years ago - Great content that is almost unlistenable
This is the best podcast out there for finding hidden gems that you have probably missed — movies that are often better than the latest release in theaters that draw from these older movies.
Unfortunately there are so many technical issues with their recordings that you’ll be forgiven for having trouble getting through a single episode. Usually it’s worse on Allison’s side, where she sounds like she’s on a Bluetooth headset on spotty cellular phone connection inside an elevator on another cont... more
Apple Podcasts1bedlam and drudgeryUnited States7 years ago - Please stop saying ‘like’!
Good content but both the presenters have annoying nasal voices. The female says ‘like’ so often, I stop listening to what she is saying to count them. With a bit of effort on their presentation this would be a much better show.

Canada8 years ago - My favorite film podcast
I love this show for a few reasons: Alison and Matt have great insights about the films they watch without being pretentious about it. Their taste in flim covers every thing from horror to 80s action to Asian cinema to the more common critically acclaimed films. They have great banter, are rarely snarky or mean, and the podcast is well paced and well edited. Highly recommended. I listen to it every other week the day it comes out.
Apple Podcasts5stigabeUnited States8 years ago - Great. But....
Really good format and intelligent conversation. Loads of good recommendations as well. Just wish Matt sounded a bit less like a 12 year old boy on an amphetamine and helium rush.

United Kingdom8 years ago - An essential podcast for me
As someone with a Roku box and a passion for movies, this is an essential podcast to keep me adding movies to my “my lists”. I like how they have a main review and then lots of other highlights—listeners favorite and new releases. It is like listening to your two smart friends bantering about your favorite topic.
Apple Podcasts5GeorgielewUnited States8 years ago - Consistently relevant.
Seeing that my watching has shifted more and more to streaming platforms, this podcast is brilliant in steering me in the vast ocean of online content. The only regret I have is that here in NZ, we don't (yet) have access to the breadth of providers as the US.

New Zealand8 years ago - Best film review podcast
I have been listening consistently for years. Both hosts are smart, insightful, well-spoken, and have a vast knowledge of film. Also, Matt is hilarious (I got your back dude).
Apple Podcasts5wootwoot12345United States8 years ago - Excellent film podcast for fans of lo-hi brow
Really sharp podcast. Both Matt and Alison have great perspectives on film and it really covers the full gamut of cinema through its inventive format.
Apple Podcasts5sansbordersUnited Kingdom8 years ago - Matt and Allison are a delight
Great discussions that make me wish I could watch everything they bring up. Have also discovered movies and TV shows that I love becuase of them; Fleabag being one. A great listen.
Apple Podcasts5KillerInk_13United States8 years ago - Great film reviews and discussions
Matt and Alison are great hosts. Always enjoy their discussions. I just hope Matt never learns the horrible truth that I've never seen Gymkota. Keep up the great work, guys.
Apple Podcasts5SkepacabraUnited States8 years ago - Kind of...basically...sort of...drinking game!
I love this podcast and have heard every episode. My friends and I have created a fun drinking game. Whenever you hear "kind of", "sort of", or "basically" take a shot! It is a "whole other" approach to listening! Keep up the good work Matt and Alison.
Apple Podcasts5dnagenesUnited States8 years ago - Matt and Alison Rock!
In a vast ocean filled with a myriad of film critique podcasts, Filmspotting: SVU swims gloriously on its own. The reason being is that Matt and Alison have an honest and unique voice. They are both art-minded but not pretentious, intelligent but not condescending and open-minded without being patronizing. It's a tough balancing act but these veterans of all things Cinema do it with class and seemingly effortless skill. It's simply a joy to listen to them.
Apple Podcasts5HendraTattooUnited States8 years ago - A fresh film podcast
Just as their parent podcast Filmspotting, Filmspotting SVU features in depth commentary and insight on recent and past films without the typical pretentiousness that is evident in most film criticism out there today.
What separates the two are that most of the films mentioned on SVU are available to stream on a popular streaming platform: such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc. This makes it a little easier (and less expensive) to keep up with the podcast.
The hosts Matt and Alison are also very ... more
