  • Couldn’t be more surface-level

    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).

    It can be a decent listen to hear some news on the film industry and finding out about new movies coming out, but don’t expect too much critiquing or analysis

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 866 - Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (GUEST: Matt Goldberg)
Q: Matt Goldberg, any reactions to the Oscar winners and surprises?
Matt notes that Sinners' Best Cinematography win was a pleasant surprise as it marks a historic first for a woman in that category, and he expresses mixed feelings about Sean Penn's win, suggesting other contenders like Delroy Lindo and Del Toro were more compelling in their respective categories.
After Dark Interview: How Dan Trachtenberg Made 'Predator: Badlands'
Q: Were you shooting for PG-13? Did it just happen to be that way or can you talk a little bit about the movie's rating?
I wanted to make a film that my daughter could watch and thought it would be great if a lot of kids could see it too; it just ended up being that way because of the narrative choices.
Ep. 833 - Eddington
Q: What did you think of Eddington?
I think it's brilliant and an extraordinary movie that addresses many real-world issues.
Ep. 769 - Monkey Man
Q: What are your overall thoughts on Monkey Man?
I had a lot of fun watching it. It's a fun revenge film that has some beautiful moments and is clearly made with a lot of heart. I love this movie, I think it's striking, the action is good, and it was a blast to watch.
Ep. 787 - Borderlands (GUEST: Christian Spicer from DLC)
Q: Is Borderlands really that bad?
Christian Spicer expresses disappointment, saying it looked like a fan film and felt nonsensical.
