I’ve been searching for good “cinephile” podcasts, and many of them left me wanting. Frequently, the pods feature meandering hosts with little aural charisma or a style of annunciating unfit for broadcast, or just have a snooty style of criticism.
Not Secret Movie Club!
These folks love movies, especially— but not limited to— the great ones. The show is full of adept insight and interesting history.
The first one I listened to was The Seven Samurai (I was at the screening too). It’s a movie I know fairly well— I’ve scene it a number of times over the years, and know many other Kurosawa films. Still, the hosts know the movie much better than I, and were able to illuminate it in a fascinating way.
Highly recommended to all film lovers!
