The BEST film podcast out there

I’ve been a listener for a while and this is the real deal. Engrossing and unpretentious, it’s always great to listen to Michael, Joe, and Jared. Only thing I would change is - release episodes more often!

Entertaining & informative

Compelling, non-pretentious discussion that is also highly entertaining. Focus is film but also dives into TV and music (and video games). On my short list of "must listen" podcasts. Only wish they recorded even more frequently! Highly recommended.
