  • The best work about film culture out there

    For years the only film podcasts you could find were always 2-4 friends sitting around and quipping about whatever the movie of the week was. And that’s fine! People like them for a reason. But the Mubi Podcast is not only a breath of fresh air in the podcast space, it’s providing some of the most insightful, creative, and excellently produced film content out there. Listen to it! Now!

A lot of us didn’t appreciate how its owner, an ex investment banker, pulled the wool over our eyes F... more
