I really enjoy this show when I dip into it. It’s thoughtful and the guys have a broad intellectual hinterland in a way that’s fundamentally untrue of most movie podcasts.

A really good movie podcast. It oscillates between intelligent analysis and irreverence. Their choice of subject matter is also great: Tracing the early history of digital cinema from the experimental to the ubiquitous—what a concept?! The hosts have a nice rapport that suggests they’re tight bros from way back when. I like when podcast hosts hint at regional knowledge. My parasocial relations require something esoteric like where to get the good donuts if I ever make it to Portland.
A fun movie podcast for people who like to think harder about movies than fandom and learn about history and theory. Corbin and Dr. Movies make you smarter!
