  • 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.

Interview With "Hanging By A Wire" Filmmaker Mohammed Ali Naqvi
Q: What challenges did you face in bringing this film to audiences, especially in terms of distribution and festival exposure?
The independent market is brutal, but we were fortunate to secure theatrical play in North America and the UK, plus a streaming deal later in the year, which is unusually favorable for a documentary with this hybrid approach.
Interview With "Hanging By A Wire" Filmmaker Mohammed Ali Naqvi
Q: How did you come across this story, and why tell it in documentary form?
I found it through the way the event was covered and decided to tell it as a cinematic, suspenseful experience that still honors the real people involved, using their own footage and archive as the core material.
Interview With "It Ends" Filmmaker Alex Ullom
Q: How did distribution with Neon come about?
Neon's support aligned with a broader shift in the industry and was aided by the Letterboxd community and online horror fans who championed the film, despite initial market risks and lack of famous names.
Interview With "It Ends" Filmmaker Alex Ullom
Q: What were the production challenges and how did they handle shooting inside a car for most of the film?
The cast endured the cramped, tense environment while the director credits their performances for grounding the movie; there were two major reshoots, and shooting inside a Jeep Cherokee in Florida proved easier than shooting outside due to weather, with a strong emphasis on practical acting.
Interview With "It Ends" Filmmaker Alex Ullom
Q: What is the genesis of the idea behind It Ends?
It grew from personal experiences of the filmmaker going through a rough transition into adulthood, and a desire to fuse a hangout/drama vibe with a horror-tinged road story to explore moral cohesion.
