  • The Film Talk Is Back

    This is the first podcast I ever listened to back in 2008 ahead of TDK release. I’m glad this podcast is back! The hosts are so good at analyzing films. No one comments on films on a thematic level. It’s very interesting and engaging.

RUN! Don’... more

  • Films, talking, heart!

    A joy to be a part (even if just listening) of the friendliest disagreements about film you can easily find. Gareth and Jett are a joy to hear and happily drill down into movies and meaning in a most accessible way!
