IndieWire: Screen Talk

does penske media not have a production budget? lol. the recent cannes episodes are basically unlistenable due to audio issues. love ryan and anne but please do better…I’d like to actually hear what you’re saying!!

Could be decent, but the constant interrupting is brutal. Particularly by the female host. She never lets the other person finish what they’re saying. Also, many of their conversations often devolve into a less professional form of banter. Personal gripes and attitudes towards a film or filmmaker isn’t the most interesting way to converse about cinema.

Big fan of this podcast , love hearing the weekly goings on in Hollywood and indie film. I love Anne and Ryan’s take on current releases, the balance of popular mainstream films to foreign and arcane art films, such a treat I feel like I’m an insider after the show also they both have really good taste which I usually agree with! And I like the build up to awards season of whose in and whose out! Highly recommend!

I really enjoy Screen Talk. The industry insights, the banter, the inside baseball stuff - it’s all great. But for the love of God, please remember that most of your audience hasn’t seen half of these movies yet before casually dropping major/minir story beats like you’re reading from the Wikipedia plot summary. You guys just flippantly spoiled key moments from both Marty Supreme and The Perfect Neighbor - the latter not just vague details, but literally the fates of both main parties. C’mon. I’ll keep listening (because I’ve been with you two for awhile now), but let’s just say it’ll be with slightly gritted teeth until you remember that maybe 99% of us are still waiting for these films to actually release. A little spoiler awareness goes a long way!
