- Awesome Podcast
Just found this podcast recently and I love it. Love how many different types of films they tackle and how they tackle them in their own respective genre or world. For example going from whiplash to new world and not trying to force or over analyze the stories into formulaic structures but talking about how they work at what they’re doing.
Great podcast
Also love the chill and focused atmosphere

United States4 years ago - Pretty great
Been trying to get into screenwriting, read a book on it and want to write one soon. Have some ideas but don’t have a full plot outline yet, it’s hard to figure out where to go with the story. But I’m working on it and this is a good podcast where they bring up some good things to think about while writing. Just watched the Amelie episode and I liked the movie but I didn’t think all that much about the script. Listening to them talk about it definitely made me appreciate the film more from a wri... more

Great podcast; great insights and observations on this fabulous film.
Any chance considering a discussion of maybe one or some of the following please? Birdman; Sherlock Homes (the first and/or Game of Shadows); perhaps The Abyss, Fincher’s The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, The Hunt for Red October? Thanks

The podcast is packed with great information. Love that they have some of my favorite films and others that were not recognized but still are masterpieces. Pretty good find!
Apple Podcasts5George LomeliMexico6 years ago - Really Enjoy it
This podcast is a hidden gem, it's entretaining and educational. I would recommend you to listen to the 21st Recap first and get the sense of the different episodes (films, plays, musicals).
A must listen for new writers and movie fans!
Apple Podcasts5Mariana FHMexico6 years ago - Insightful Podcast
It's such a great podcast for screenwriters and just movie fans. They bring to the forefront the themes, characters, story outline and context of each film. I don't mind that the episodes are every two weeks because they are very well researched. The hosts always read the books, screenplays and some historical background (if needed) of every film, and that brings a lot of insight and interesting facts. Keep it up!
