Customer Reviews
fine at 3x speed
with politics so depressing right now, i’ve been avoiding most podcasts in my feed; so i recently returned to running this podcast in the background for the first time in more than a decade. at 3x speed you can get through the (what seems like) days-long runtimes and overlook all the sports metaphors.
Like Taking a Graduate level film class
I’ve been listening to Filmspotting for at least 5 years now. When I travel to see family, Adam and Josh keep me company and the time just flies by. What I love about their show is that they combine an “Everyman” love of film with their scholarly background. I always learn a ton about films, directors, actors, genres, you name it. Can’t count the number of amazing films I’ve watched, based on hearing their reviews, that were not on my radar. I’ve tried a few other film podcasts (also love The Next Picture Show), but the solid foundation of cinema academia is not always present (and way too much giggling, fan girl/boy talk). Please don’t think that because of what I wrote that their show is stuffy and erudite. Not at all! Totally entertaining.
Best film pod out there
Josh n Adam have an incredible chemistry and a vast knowledge of film, not to mention a deep love for movies. The best movie podcast out there.
