I’ve been listening for over 15 years. My favorite.
Insightful, in depth and topical.
Groundbreaking, men talking about film made by women
I started listening to the film cast in 2015, and what was one of my favourite podcasts on film has dwindled to uninteresting debates on petty details in movies, or Jeff saying he cried at a movie and often deeming it the best movie he’s seen this year (this will happen frequently).

A roundtable of three film-focused hosts delivers weekly discussions on the latest releases, industry trends, and streaming strategies, often weaving in tangents about AI, technology, and media business moves. Episodes blend spoiler-free analysis, long-running “what we've been watching” segments, and sponsor reads, with a strong emphasis on candid banter and personal viewpoints. Notable traits include energized debates, accessibility for casual listeners, and a willingness to tackle politics and culture as they relate to cinema—sometimes polarizing but consistently engaging for long-time fans and newcomers curious about film craft and industry context.
