  • One of the oldest movie podcasts, and still one of the best

    really appreciate the variety of subjects they cover. has exposed me to films that i sometimes didn’t know existed. always germaine and erudite guests. the recent discussion on the state of podcasting and the new documentary (Age of Audio) covering it was fascinating to listen to. i’m a big supporter of Mike White’s side projects as well. over 750 episodes in! a remarkable achievement.

  • The best movie podcast except...

    Five stars all the way-except for the last couple of years. The best film study podcast of all time in my opinion. Unfortunately, politics and strangely distorted british accents have crept in all too often lately. Some new personalities with the habit of laughing, A LOT! No matter, it’s still an excellent show.

  • A Great Show

    There are many movie podcasts that cover details of film production that entertain, few add a level of education and insights thanks to some pure gold interviews in the style of The Projection Booth. Runtime can be daunting but the vast amount of information that is offered can not be denied as nirvana for the movie fan/buff.
