  • Sound mix Is terrible

    Decent podcast, but it’s very difficult to hear what the host and guests are saying. It sounds like each are on different mikes and at different volumes. Impossible to hear the dialogue unless in a very quiet room.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tuner with Leo Woodall and Daniel Roher | Picturehouse
Q: What's on the watch list when you get time? What's the next thing you have to get in and see?
Roher discusses his preference for cinema and his ongoing watch list, mentioning recent experiences at Telluride and other fest selections, with a focus on impactful, boundary-pushing work like One Cut of the Dead and Parasite-era cinema; he emphasizes wanting to see as much as possible while balancing family life.
Backrooms with Chiwetel Ejiofor | Picturehouse
Q: Did the analogue 1990s setting help ground the horror and shape your performance?
He explains the tension between the 1990s analogue environment and contemporary concepts, describing how the physical space and era influence the psychological and emotional tones of the character and story.
Backrooms with Chiwetel Ejiofor | Picturehouse
Q: What was it like arriving on set and being confronted with a very real, very tactile version of the Backrooms?
Ejiofor describes the scale and realism of the practical Backrooms set, noting how it differed from expectations based on online shorts and emphasizing the excitement and authenticity of working with a tangible environment.
Rose of Nevada with Mark Jenkin and George MacKay | Picturehouse
Q: Parting words for why people should see Rose of Nevada in a cinema.
The hosts emphasize the unique communal experience of watching in a theatre, the immersive sound design, and the idea that the film invites personal interpretation, making the cinema experience essential for a full understanding and emotional impact.
Mother Mary with David Lowery | Picturehouse
Q: How did the concert and behind-the-scenes sequences influence the final cut?
We moved away from a straightforward documentary approach and found a more subjective, cinematic way to represent the tours and backstage moments, a solution that was born out of the editing process and necessary due to the film's evolving structure.
