  • Awesome!

    Love the insight and perspective these guys bring. I enjoy the different approach by talking about the technical aspects and filmmaking. Lots of film pods gloss over this.

  • Film Pods for the Win!

    I’ve been loving film podcasts lately and I found Scene by Scene after watching Mulholland Drive and watching to listen to an in-depth dive into the film. I loved listening to your guys’ break down of the film and will definitely be listening to more!

    I don’t know if you guys will ever be taking suggestions for films to cover, but I would love to hear one on Beau Is Afraid! 🤔
