This podcast is so much fun and does a great job of going beyond a more traditional interview format with its guests. I love the focus being on the films and movie going experiences that shaped the artist. You get insight you wouldn’t get anywhere else and really solid recommendations.

Listeners are drawn to cinephile conversations that center on personal film histories, memorable theater experiences, and curated festival-style lineups. Episodes highlight creators, critics, actors, and festival programmers who share formative cinema memories, reverent respect for theaters, and thoughtful perspectives on how screenings shape culture. The format often mixes nostalgic storytelling with practical takes on curation, venue culture, and the communal power of watching films on the big screen.
