The Kulturecast

Film History
Updated Weekly

Movies don't happen in a vacuum — they shape the culture, and the culture shapes them right back. The Kulturecast lives in that feedback loop. Each week, host Chris Stachiw — the Doctor of Podcasting — sits down with a rotating table of guest co-hosts to dig into a film, a filmmaker, or a corner of pop culture and trace how it moved the needle, and how the world moved it in return. Less "was it good," more "what did it do — and why does it still matter?" Expect deep dives, long conversations, sharp takes, and the occasional tangent worth taking. It's a show for people who love arguing about movies almost as much as watching them. The Kulturecast is a proud part of Weirding Way Media, and now home to sub-feeds including Required Viewing: A 360° Film Study with Dr. David D. Perlmutter. New episodes weekly.

Great discussion, great films...but intrusive ads

This show is a treat, host Chris Stachiw talks about a wide range of films and he has wonderful guests such as Mike White (The Projection Booth) and Father Malone (Midnight Viewing). Chris' is open to a films' merits and his guests opinion even when he himself doesn't like the film under discussion. And the show is a lot of fun and has introduced me to a lot of films. That being said, the ads are very intrusive, they seem to come up randomly (sometimes in the middle of sentence) and its the same ad every time (the Virginia Lottery one here came up every two minutes during the Doors interview). It may be Apple or the sponsor deciding when the ads appear but it takes away from a what is otherwise a great show. It's free podcast and ads are necessary to keep the show going but this is ridiculous.

Mr. Michael

Really loving this series. Three excellent podcasts featuring my favorite actor and one of my favorite directors. I think you overlooked one gem though: ROBIN & MARIAN.
Enjoyed the grounded guests takes

I enjoyed that the episode on the documentary, "An Unknown Compelling Force," featured guests grounded in actual physics and mountaineering. Keep up the good work!
