Could be decent, but the constant interrupting is brutal. Particularly by the female host. She never lets the other person finish what they’re saying. Also, many of their conversations often devolve into a less professional form of banter. Personal gripes and attitudes towards a film or filmmaker isn’t the most interesting way to converse about cinema.
Big fan of this podcast , love hearing the weekly goings on in Hollywood and indie film. I love Anne and Ryan’s take on current releases, the balance of popular mainstream films to foreign and arcane art films, such a treat I feel like I’m an insider after the show also they both have really good taste which I usually agree with! And I like the build up to awards season of whose in and whose out! Highly recommend!
does penske media not have a production budget? lol. the recent cannes episodes are basically unlistenable due to audio issues. love ryan and anne but please do better…I’d like to actually hear what you’re saying!!
I enjoy this podcast hearing all the new films, predictions and film festival reviews.
A spoiler warning would be appreciated, as this happens constantly. We haven’t all seen the movies being discussed!
I really enjoy Screen Talk. The industry insights, the banter, the inside baseball stuff - it’s all great. But for the love of God, please remember that most of your audience hasn’t seen half of these movies yet before casually dropping major/minir story beats like you’re reading from the Wikipedia plot summary.
You guys just flippantly spoiled key moments from both Marty Supreme and The Perfect Neighbor - the latter not just vague details, but literally the fates of both main parties. C’mon. more

Screen Talk leans into sharp, industry-informed discussions about film festivals, box office dynamics, and the business of cinema, with frequent crossovers into awards season, festival markets, and industry strategy. Episodes typically feature two lead hosts who trade perspectives—one with a veteran, insider lens and another bringing a younger, market-facing view—plus occasional guests ranging from critics and festival programmers to studio executives and advocacy voices. A standout pattern is a strong emphasis on festival coverage, new releases, and the evolving economics of theatrical windows, streaming strategies, and independent cinema, all framed by a culture-curious, industry-savvy tone. The show often blends practical industry insigh... more
