- Top insight
Gives a whole new depth of interpretation of movies I love (and some I have never heard of). Feels like I’m the passenger in the back seat, listening to 2 friends share thoughts from 2 varied outlooks.

A superb and engaging film podcast. A broad range of topics are insightfully discussed; while the regular film specific podcasts (The Fabelmans and Knock at the Cabin) are absolutely superb. A great podcast.
Apple Podcasts5Well, it could be worseUnited Kingdom3 years ago - Compelling conversations
I've been regularly listening to The Discourse and I can't recommend this podcast enough. Great conversations on all things pop culture and movies. Enjoy the banter between hosts Tony and Carl. Even if the topic isn’t of particular interest to me, the hosts always have something interesting to say and I just keep listening.

United States3 years ago - Excellent
I’m enjoying this podcast a lot. I am a big fan of Carl Sweeney’s The Movie Palace podcast, and this podcast is just as interesting. I live in America but still appreciate the parts of the discussions about British culture. I highly recommend this, especially to film buffs.
