  • Bite sized movie fun

    I’m not the biggest podcast person due to the length of the episodes, however, Leigh & Tim’s short episode lengths and to the point and direct (and also light and humorous) approach to talking about movies is very much up my alley. They’re both really nice people too. A nice and easy listen, it feels like you’re just talking with a friend after seeing a movie.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digger: the most divisive film of the year?
Q: Did Tom Cruise's performance justify the film's grand scale?
Cruise is praised for charisma and physical discipline, but the overall piece struggles with pacing and tonal balance, making some viewers question whether the performance alone sustains the entire project.
Digger: the most divisive film of the year?
Q: Was the two-layer structure (play within a film) necessary or distracting?
The guests felt the double structure was ambitious and visually striking but ultimately distracting, as it pulled focus away from the core crisis and made it hard to emotionally connect with the story.
Digger: the most divisive film of the year?
Q: What did you think about the film's marketing versus what you actually saw in the movie?
The hosts agree the marketing promised a wilder, more overt comedy, but the film delivered a complex, satirical drama with heavy emphasis on performance and dialogue, which felt misaligned with audience expectations.
Jenny Slate and Manny Jacinto talk their irrational fears and working along side Filipino artists on Forgotten Island
Q: There's such nuance to Batiba. What is your process in finding the right voice and temperament when creating a character like them?
Jenny Slate describes starting with the visual, then shaping the voice around the character's loneliness and environment, leaning toward a natural but tentative tone, and deciding whether to use her own voice or an invented one to best fit the atmosphere.
Zach Cregger talks Resident Evil, Austin Abrams and shares a wild on-set story
Q: So, just on that, for you, how important are the first 30 minutes of a film? In setting up tone, story, stakes, what was a crucial element you wanted to deliver in that opening half an hour?
The first 30 minutes are critical because they set the pace, tone, and the stakes, with a deliberate push to stay on the gas and maintain tension from the event on the road onward, while allowing for occasional reprieves to keep the audience engaged.
