Customer Reviews
What keeps us coming back
The host really gets into movies! I love talking film, but he gets into the meaning and purpose behind a lot of the actions we see on screen and how they effect the movie. Well done podcast!
Thoughtful, Short Form Essays
Mind Theater is an incredibly thoughtful and concise Podcast that is well researched and well written. It’s format alone helps it stand apart, being short form instead of long form, it seems to explore its concepts quickly and to the point, yet it’s never lacking in proper analysis. This is a binge worthy podcast that is absolutely worth your time if you enjoy film theory or analysis.
Well done
What a well done, well researched show. The host is great and presents a really insightful podcast. Started with Eyes Wide Shut and can’t wait to listen to more!
