Filmspotting: Streaming Video Unit (SVU)

They have broken our hearts by leaving. However, I plan to listen to the old episodes and catch up. This was the best movie review cast. 😭

The hosts admit that they can’t even remember the lot of a movie they just watched.

I love this show for a few reasons: Alison and Matt have great insights about the films they watch without being pretentious about it. Their taste in flim covers every thing from horror to 80s action to Asian cinema to the more common critically acclaimed films. They have great banter, are rarely snarky or mean, and the podcast is well paced and well edited. Highly recommended. I listen to it every other week the day it comes out.

This is the best podcast out there for finding hidden gems that you have probably missed — movies that are often better than the latest release in theaters that draw from these older movies. Unfortunately there are so many technical issues with their recordings that you’ll be forgiven for having trouble getting through a single episode. Usually it’s worse on Allison’s side, where she sounds like she’s on a Bluetooth headset on spotty cellular phone connection inside an elevator on another continent — which is a shame because her passion and knowledge is contagious.
