  • Favorite movie podcast đŸ€

    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 bĂȘte 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!
