  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interviews With The "Carolina Caroline" Stars Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner & Director Adam Carter Rehmeier
Q: What makes a good montage?
A great montage requires a strong song that propels the sequence, balancing playful moments with the core stakes of the story to keep the audience engaged and emotionally connected.
Interviews With The "Carolina Caroline" Stars Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner & Director Adam Carter Rehmeier
Q: What was your reaction to the screenplay when you read it?
There was an immediate sense of contemporary energy and a modern twist on a traditional scenario, with the jaw dropping as the material promised a fast, addictive ride and opportunities for natural chemistry on screen.
Interviews With The "Carolina Caroline" Stars Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner & Director Adam Carter Rehmeier
Q: What's your name?
Caroline, and Oliver later introduces himself, with a sense of playful banter that opens up the dynamic of the world the film inhabits.
Interviews With The "The Pitt" Star Sepideh Moafi & Cinematographer Johanna Coelho
Q: How different does the process feel now that you're two seasons behind you compared to the early chaos of the first season?
Season two refined the established visual language, increased collaboration, added an extra operator to manage long camera moves, and tightened lighting and color decisions to sustain immersion without exhausting the crew, enabling a more elevated, continuous storytelling experience.
Interviews With The "The Pitt" Star Sepideh Moafi & Cinematographer Johanna Coelho
Q: So I did kind of want to rewind and maybe start a little bit from the beginning. What are the sort of visual rules that you have for shooting the series, for what you want every episode to look like?
The visual rules center on immersion and following a character's perspective with handheld yet controlled shots, close to the actors, using a consistent lens language (mostly 50mm, with 60mm and 75mm for isolation) to maintain continuity while allowing for long, uninterrupted passages that tell the story.
