Love the pod. Super insightful - brings a lot of perspectives I wasn’t considering. I love watching movies they’ve reviewed and then listening to their pod for deep analysis!
There are a lot of movie podcasts out there (I even co-host one myself), so it can be difficult to sift through the noise and find ones that are intelligent, genuine, and insightful. Reader, I’m here to tell you that Movies & Us is one of them.

Absolutely loved both Honeyjoon episodes. Could listen to Jen & Sarah talk about Honeyjoon and interview the director all day. Such intelligent insights, considered questions, layered understanding, and a truly inspiring interview. Shines a light on this special film and filmmaker. Love Honeyjoon and going deep under its waves of humor and emotion. Brilliant and beautiful.
I like this podcast because its main structure is like a roundtable discussion where everyone shares their thoughts. It’s interesting to hear multiple perspectives on the films and scenes they review.
Jen and Sarah’s voices in the space are welcoming. It feels like you sat down with some film friends and just started listening to what they were saying and before you know it, it’s over and eagerly await what they’re going to talk about next. Do you always agree? Maybe not, but that’s the great thing about film and about them. They welcome the conversation and that’s why I love listening to them.
