  • 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.

Interview With "Unabomber" Director Janus Metz Pedersen
Q: How did you balance humanizing the subject with acknowledging the harm he caused?
He emphasizes that the film clearly states the horrendous acts while using a thriller-like structure to explore the factors that led to his radicalization, inviting viewers to reflect on the psychology and societal conditions without minimizing the victims.
Interview With "Unabomber" Director Janus Metz Pedersen
Q: So, what was your personal way into Ted Kaczynski's story?
The director explains that his interpretation was shaped by a script focusing on the Harvard-era experiments and the dual timelines of the manhunt and Kaczynski's life, aiming to illuminate how isolation and intellect intersect with radicalization without excusing the crimes.
Interview With "The Incomer" Stars Domhnall Gleeson, Gayle Rankin & Grant O'Rourke
Q: So that this way, there would be like a spontaneity, or were you always included in on what they were planning to do?
We kept things fresh by staying open to discovery on set, allowing spontaneous moments to arise while staying grounded in the shared language Louis crafted for the characters.
Interview With "The Incomer" Stars Domhnall Gleeson, Gayle Rankin & Grant O'Rourke
Q: I would love to first start off by asking for Gayle and Grant. The two of you have characters with a shared history talking to each other almost in a communication and style of language that most of us on the mainland wouldn't fully understand or would consider to be weird behavior. How much of that was in the script and how much of it was found through the rehearsal process you guys were afforded that?
The chemistry and the dialogue style were largely in the script, and the rehearsal process helped us to inhabit those rhythms more naturally, making the relationship feel lived-in and authentic.
Interviews With "Primetime" Stars Skyler Gisondo, Merritt Wever & Director Lance Oppenheim
Q: Can you talk about the collaboration with your long-time team and how it influenced the final cut of Primetime?
Working with the same collaborators for nearly 15 years created a shorthand and trust that allowed us to push boundaries, making bold decisions together and keeping the project cohesive across different disciplines like cinematography, music, and editing.
