Filmspotting

Great podcast, charming banter, some dad jokes, and just a whole lotta fun! Oh, and also very insightful reviews by two very knowledgeable hosts!! Would love to meet you some day. Love from Gothenburg, Sweden.

The only podcast that reviews films that I listen to. Entertaining and thoughtful discussions.

This is the best podcast devoted to film that I've come across. The episodes tend to be long, but so rewarding. I especially enjoy what comes out of the opposing views on certain films and scenes. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in films and filmmaking.

Adam and Josh were great company when I found my way back to watching movies more seriously about five years ago, after a ten year sports-focused hiatus. Especially their top 5-lists have opened my eyes to many films. However, last year I found myself, more often than not, skipping episodes as I started to be more and more hesitant towards their approach to movie watching. For instance, they sometimes have a real high-brow attitude towards certain actors or genres. Instead of just letting other people like films or actors, e.g. Adam Sandler, they make fun of the fact that they think it is so bad. I used to be the same way, so I recognize the behavior. Lately, I have been gravitating towards a more inclusive and fun-based experience and it has been much more rewarding. If you like film, I recommend adding The Big Picture and The Rewatchables to your podcast rotation. As a former student of film science, I understand that there is more to a film than what immediately meets the eye. However, that eye is always in the beholder and Adam and Josh are at their best when they are cognizant of that.
