- Just What I’ve Been Looking For
I’m somewhat new to The Filmographies Podcast. I found them when my friend Ben Tanzer was a guest on the show, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love the format of examining a new director each season in a way that’s both academic and casual. And the supplemental episodes that veer away from the current director are also nice. It’s fun to hear what the guys think of things that are currently in theaters in addition to their current subject. Can’t wait for season two!

United States4 months ago I regularly listen to a few film podcasts, but I stumbled upon this one by chance, and it immediately became one of my favorites. The two hosts have a professional and engaging way of speaking, sharing all kinds of information about cinema with true expertise. Keep up the excellent work, and I'll keep listening.

I think you’re fakes. I think you’re a phonies. And a bad podcast. Stating Wes Anderson fell into cynicism and meanness after writing with Baumbach on Life Aquatic….but then praising Fantastic Mr. Fox as hilarious and a home run….I can’t take you seriously.

Very easy listen, fun and informative for movie fans and just nerdy enough
