Out of the myriad film review podcasts, these guys rise above

I've been listening to these guys for awhile now, and they feel like old friends. I subscribe to several movie review podcasts, but these guys provide some of the most thoughtful commentary I've found. My favorite segment is often “Yay or Nay”, where they share mini-reviews of what they’ve individually been watching lately. Bonus: Everyone has a pleasing voice, and they mix the sound well.

Very Fun Show

Come for the Gerard Butler. Stay for the Iko Uwais.

Always a lively podcast with great banter between hosts and guests. One of my favorite movie podcasts.

Film_Illiterate ,

Entertainingly Insightful

Some of my favorite movie podcasts feature an unpredictably diverse range of movies and movie tastes. The First Time Watchers Podcast is prehaps the most delightfully chaotic when it comes to this. The opening segment of each episode is a fun grab bag of quick movie reviews, ranging from classics to cult films to recent releases, and this format follows through to their main discussion.

The guys themselves are fun to listen to, especially when they veheminently disagree with each other. And when they do agree, you can always count on a varying degree of insights into whatever movie they're talking about whether it's 2001: A Space Odyssey or American Ninja. It's an easy listen that packs a lot of worthwhile content.
