  • 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.

  • 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.

Episode 499 - Our First Oscar Predictions Of 2026, "Werwulf," "Her Private Hell" & "Union County" Trailers
Q: What film do you think will win Best Picture this year?
The Odyssey is the most frequently predicted winner by the panel and is considered the frontrunner given its scope, scale, and broad industry support, though some remain wary of Netflix's show of strength and the potential for another dark horse to disrupt the lineup.
Interview With "The Diplomat" Star Rufus Sewell
Q: What has it been like working with Debora and the rest of the writing team to maintain consistency across four seasons?
Having a stable showrunner and a perceptive writer has been crucial; they keep the core DNA while allowing changes in the body of the story, which makes the evolution feel natural and exciting.
Interview With "The Diplomat" Star Rufus Sewell
Q: How do you and Keri Russell approach finding new takes on established beats without losing the truth of the characters?
We rely on the writer's guidance and the organic truth of the scene; Debra's writing provides the framework, and we adapt within that framework to keep it authentic while exploring new angles.
Interview With "The Diplomat" Star Rufus Sewell
Q: When you first read that moment about Hal possibly being vice president, what was your reaction and how did it set the stage for the season?
I was excited by the flip in dynamics and the idea that Hal could be in a position to influence major decisions, which opened up fresh, morally complex territory for both him and Kate.
Interview With "Leviticus" Filmmaker Adrian Chiarella
Q: I'm curious about the idea of the demon taking the form of the person they most love; where did that concept come from during the writing process?
The idea grew out of examining how exorcism myths intersect with queer adolescence, and I realized the demon could symbolize internalized fear and longing rather than a separate external force, which guided how the creature would reflect the characters' deepest connections and insecurities.
