Unpleasant Movies Podcast

Love this pod! Really interesting discussions and film choices. Some of the movies are a little too extreme for my taste, but the hosts do a good job describing them so I can even listen without watching. Lots of thoughtful commentary and a nice listen all around.

You guys, don’t sleep on this! If you like witty, nuanced, empathetic conversation about intense films/theory—this is the show for you. The hosts are smart, keenly observant, and more than equipped to parse the dark thickets of the thorniest cinema. They also touch on books, art, pop culture, etc., in delightfully far ranging conversations. Aesthetically, the pod is well produced and they have incredibly soothing voices and are unfailingly well mannered. As a boorish American, my favorite moments are when they disagree—they are still so polite and respectful to one another that it sparks joy in my cold dead heart. Basically, listen to these guys and I’m moving to Norway.

Wonderful. Always eager to listen a new episode. A couple of thoughtful podcasters who pick all the right movies with some interesting insight.
