Emilio, Madeline, and Julian love music, and spend their afternoons and evenings working for and teaching at a music school in midtown Manhattan. But they also really love movies. A lot. So when they're done teaching, they stay up late and discuss a movie, sometimes a few, that they've all agreed to see recently. Opinions, musings, personal stories, and sincere film enthusiasm ensue.

Whenever I hear their opening “I’m Emilio, I’m Madeline, and I’m Julian,” I know it’s time to settle in for a fun and knowledgeable discussion about a film that I may or may not have seen. Either way, it’s sure to be a smart and entertaining way to spend an evening. It’s obvious that the three of them truly enjoy films, and their friendly banter is a joy that I’ve grown addicted to. Keep ‘em coming, guys.
Marc Maron and Brendan Fu**ing McDonald brought me here ! Glad they did ! Great stuff ! Doing the lord's work filling the heads of our young with goodness ! Peace be with you folks!
I have had my hair blown back listening to these 3 brainiac musicians conspire in discussion about movies. With varying thoughtful interpretations of each movie, their conversation has left me changed and excited about movies in a way I haven’t experienced. I don’t even have to have SEEN the movie to feel like I gained perspective. As a bonus, I also feel like I spent my time with some great humans. Sleepless Cinematic is a great listen.
Emilio, Madeline, and Joshua clearly love movies and listening to them have fun while analyzing films is like hanging with old friends. Their selection of films range from popcorn blockbusters to artistic lodestars, and their reactions are educated by a clear deep-research of the history of cinema. It’s also wonderful to hear disagreements between their own respective tastes, discussed without judgement of one another on their likes/dislikes. Lastly, it’s fun hearing trained musicians give their... more
Definitely the sort of easy going, tasteful film forum/discussion that is exuding an earnest enthusiasm. A great watch along podcast and one that I can listen to while playing the Movie Studio Tycoon or Stardew Valley. All 3 hosts are charming. I am curious about musicians who are also cinephiles. If you need something to pick up your commute, close out the graveyard shift, or anyone who likes well researched, highly measured movie chat you gotta give this show a try. Will be the next big name i... more

Three music-educated hosts in midtown Manhattan critique and celebrate cinema with as much passion as they pour into teaching. They bring personal anecdotes, professional musical insight, and detailed film history context to each episode, covering everything from cult classics to mainstream favorites, often pairing film analysis with performance sensibilities. A standout angle is how their musical backgrounds influence observations on score, rhythm, pacing, and sound design, making conversations feel both scholarly and warmly relatable. The show tends to feature a rotating slate of guests—from film curators to performers—to broaden perspectives on style, genre, and era, while keeping a relaxed, jokey, and collaborative vibe that invites cur... more
