My favorite podcast

I work in a stressful healthcare job, and I listen to Pure Cinema on my commutes, and also while I'm working.

I am a horror junkie, have been since I was very young. Found that while I enjoy horror (all the different sub-genres too), I was limiting myself to horror almost exclusively for the past few years. When I started listening to the podcast, I became interested in everything.

I never really cared about film noir, pre code, dramas, westerns - but now I'm finding that not only am I interested in them, I'm buying so many more blu rays and 4ks of all types of movies now.

Its so much fun hearing Elric and Brian talking about these movies and wanting to hunt these down to watch. All the guests on the show are great and I can't stop listening. Will be a Patreon supporter soon, they deserve it.

I also live in NJ so it's difficult sometimes hearing all the cool stuff happening at the New Bev and the Vista theater. I want to visit LA for the theaters alone.

I recommend this show to all my horror loving friends so they can discover these films that need to be seen. For some it's a hard sell because they listen to horror podcasts exclusively - but I know they will listen and find that there's a whole other world of cinema out there to enjoy.

Thank You!!!!

Good but pandering

I love the show, but I do get annoyed when they have a female guest on— especially if she’s someone attractive, these guys will overlaugh at everything she says as if they never been around a woman before. One of their fellow men will make a legitimately hilarious comment and they won’t react at all, and then the woman will say something like “I just like romcoms!” and they will guffaw like it’s the funniest thing they’ve ever heard.

One of the great podcasts about cinemA

I’ve listened to these guys for years. Every show puts a dozen movies on my watchlist. Hope they never stop.
