Ramblings with Jay Finlayson is a Film and TV podcast hosted by someone who has spent over a decade working across major studio productions and high-end scripted television… and yet still manages to sound like he’s figuring it all out in real time. This isn’t a polished, over-analysed breakdown of cinema. There are no overly serious critiques, no dramatic monologues about “the language of film,” and absolutely no pretending to have all the answers. Instead, it’s a running commentary from a film enthusiast who accidentally turned his passion into a career and now can’t switch it off, even when he probably should. Across each episode, expect honest opinions, behind-the-scenes insight, and the kind of observations that only come from actually being on set mixed with tangents, overthinking, and the occasional moment of chaos It sits somewhere between film discussion, industry perspective, and an ongoing internal monologue that probably should’ve stayed internal. From new releases to older favourites, big-budget productions to overlooked gems, if it’s worth watching (or avoiding), it’ll come up eventually usually with a side of mild chaos. There’s no gatekeeping here. No overcomplicated analysis. Just rambling about Films, TV, and whatever else comes to mind delivered by someone who’s been behind the scenes… but still talks like he’s sat on the sofa questioning everything. If you’re looking for a film podcast that’s informed but not insufferable, honest without trying too hard, and occasionally held together by sheer momentum, you’ll fit right in.

    Episode 1

    SOMEHOW… I’M BACK

    After disappearing for six years, Jay Finlayson returns with the most on-brand comeback possible, no plan, no structure, and far too much to explain. From grief and burnout to joining the ambulance service (for reasons still unclear), getting married, and slowly finding his way back to film, this is a chaotic, honest reset. Season 2 kicks off with a mix of self-awareness, and the real story behind the silence. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s probably the most accurate reintroduction you’re going to get. Proper episodes start July 10th… assuming history doesn’t repeat itself. Shout-out / Festival Plug: Also, quick one before we get into things. if you’re a horror filmmaker, I run an international horror film festival called Fear Screen (https://fearscreen.com) We’re always looking for bold, original, and genuinely unsettling work, so if you’ve got something you want people to experience on the big screen, head over and submit. Would love to see what you’ve made - https://filmfreeway.com/fearscreen If you’ve made it this far, you’re either genuinely interested in Film and TV… or you’ve forgotten to turn this off. Either way, welcome. New episodes drop regularly (in theory), covering everything from new releases and hidden gems to industry realities and whatever else ends up on the watchlist.
