  • Favorite movie podcast 🤍

    Amazing resource for staying up on what’s going on in film, especially new releases and awards - but what I love most about this podcast is the hosts’ obvious pure love and enthusiasm for the movies. They’re all just genuine people, and there’s a refreshing lack of the smugness and bored/ironic in-jokiness that tends to plague certain other popular film podcasts. Highly recommended especially for those who love movies but don’t enjoy filmbro vibes, lol.

  • Best movie podcast!

    I love listening to Matt and the gang! When I listen to other movie review and prediction podcasts I’m usually disappointed. Neglia is the GOAT.

  • Enthusiastic to a fault…

    I love the enthusiasm, but misuse of vocab (close, but not quite) and mispronouncing of peoples names kills the vibe a bit. We all have a bête noire.

    This is the only podcast you need to stay updated on all things movies (and even Emmy and Tony coverage). Their weekly episodes on Sundays cover everything you need to know about the film landscape.

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    This is usually one of the first things I listen to after seeing a new film, so I can gauge the various reactions and try to figure out whether I agree or disagree with certain points. The awards analysis is very insightful, too. Keep it up, Next Best Picture!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interviews With "Our Hero, Balthazar" Stars & Filmmakers
Q: What's the intended takeaway for audiences after watching the film?
The filmmakers suggest the goal is not a single message but an emotional experience that leaves audiences unsettled in a constructive way, encouraging dialogue and reflection about parenting, community, and youth culture in the digital age.
Interviews With "Our Hero, Balthazar" Stars & Filmmakers
Q: How did you approach casting and building the on-screen relationship between the two leads?
Jaeden and Asa describe their chemistry reads and pre-production dynamics, with the team casting Jaeden first and then integrating Asa, emphasizing how trust and a shared vision helped them inhabit the two contrasting leads.
Interviews With "Our Hero, Balthazar" Stars & Filmmakers
Q: What drew you to tell this particular story and what impulse sparked the project?
The creators explain an impulse rooted in exploring how people respond to extreme messages online, using Balthazar's perspective to filter a complex topic through human emotion rather than an explainer, aiming to spark conversation and empathy.
Interview With "Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice" Filmmaker BenDavid Grabinski
Q: What was the inspiration for bringing all of these different genres together into one film?
I wanted to make a buddy action comedy that hadn't been seen before and a time travel movie about a group of lovable idiots where exposition is handled through character dynamics rather than heavy sci‑fi dumps; the time machine serves emotional stakes, not just plot device.
Interview With "Lumière, Le Cinéma!" Filmmaker Thierry Frémaux
Q: Was Telluride the right place for the premiere, or would Cannes have been possible or preferable?
Telluride was chosen because it marked a long-standing personal and professional connection for Frémaux, and he viewed it as a pilgrimage that honored mentors and his early career, while still allowing the work to reach important audiences.
