The Last Video Store

Hi Alexei, my boyfriend put me on to your show a few months ago and I love going through all the episodes. You read his review and gave him a recommendation and I’ve been jealous since so here are mine. New release: Past Lives Weekly: Irma Vep & The Graduate

If you love movies and you miss browsing the shelves of your local video store, then this is the podcast for you. You come for Alexei’s movie knowledge and quick wit, but you stay for the top tier staff pick recommendations. You will laugh and, dare I say, you might even cry from time to time. Are you crying from laughter or emotional resonance? Who Knows? Only you can say. If you want an episode to start with, might I suggest the Mates Rates episode in which the word “minions” becomes the funniest word I’ve ever heard. P.S. Shoutout Scamper the Penguin from the Michael Angelo Covino episode. I watched that on repeat as a kid and it’s seldom spoken of. New Release: Twinless by James Sweeney or Friendship by Andrew DeYoung Weekly: Columbus by Kogonada Weekly: Take Shelter by Jeff Nichols

Don’t know of anyone who talks about film the way Alexei does, so much passion and knowledge for all forms of cinema. Anyway my three films are: New Release: Nope Weekly: Punch Drunk Love Weekly: Mullholland Drive

Amid the relentless wave of negativity surrounding movies these days, this podcast shines as a beacon of positivity and genuine passion for cinema. Alexei curates an impressive lineup of guests who share heartfelt reflections on their love for film, both new and nostalgic. Beyond the engaging discussions, Alexei’s thoughtful recommendations have introduced me to an array of interesting films I might never have discovered otherwise.
