  • 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 511 - Mailbag Monday
Q: If enough people in the industry defend Digger, could it follow the trajectory of Nightmare Alley getting texts in plus Tom Cruise?
The panel thinks Digger could still earn acting and technical nominations, particularly for Penelope Cruz and production design, even if Best Picture is a less likely outcome. They discuss how audience enthusiasm and the film's many clues may be driving strong reactions.
Episode 511 - Mailbag Monday
Q: How likely do you think it is that Olivia Wilde gets in for Best Director?
The panel sees a possible path for Wilde, especially if The Invite becomes a major awards contender, but considers a directing nomination uncertain. They view her acting chances as stronger and note that the comedy genre may be a hurdle for the film.
"Fjord"
Q: Is there any ambiguity or doubt in your mind whatsoever that the characters of Lisbeth and Miha are in some ways physically abusing their children?
The reviewers debate how to define abuse and whether the film leaves meaningful uncertainty about the parents' disciplinary behavior, examining how language and cultural expectations shape judgments of the family.
Interview With "Whalefall" Filmmaker Brian Duffield
Q: What was it like just trying to find that balance?
Duffield describes how the sound team created the whale's organs, heartbeat and echolocation, while coordinating sound with visual effects and lighting to make the interior feel immersive and claustrophobic.
Interview With "Whalefall" Filmmaker Brian Duffield
Q: What was the biggest challenge on this one for you?
Duffield says every aspect was challenging, especially planning the confined whale-stomach set, and that he wanted to avoid choosing an easy project simply because it was easy.
