Absolutely love the podcast and cannot tell you how many times I have found some amazing films through listening. However - one complaint - and it’s a big one. Your year end list is always the one I am most excited about. However each and every year there is someone in the audience who has perhaps the most ANNOYING laugh I’ve ever heard. They laugh as if something uproariously funny has been said. Let’s be clear you all are funny - but these laughs are so self centered and annoying almost to the point I cannot listen. Hahaha. I sound silly even writing this but I CANNOT be the only one who thinks it.

…the magazine and newsletter. Pseudo cinematic semi-scholarly blather via podcast. See a film. In roundtable discussions, once a speaker utters “like” ten times in a sentence, I come to realize the generation gaps are widening. Best of year roundups are fun, but ruined by having to listen through ludicrous laughter from the peanut gallery.
Put some respect on Film Comment’s name yall

Film comment used to be a must listen for me and I think Devicka Girish has interesting insights but she tends to steer the discussion in a very negative way and what makes it worse a lot of the guests on the podcast feel very ill informed about film in general. At times, the podcast starts to sound like an obnoxious conversation between film grad students at a university screening where obscurity is prized over knowledge of film Like the person on the episode I was listening to was saying that Paul Shrader is a bad director and his only good film was “First Reformed”. And you expect to be taken seriously as a critic after making such a statement? I guess the person has never seen “ light sleeper”. Or “ Blue Collar”.
