10 best movie review podcasts.

Attention all cinephiles! Looking for some great movie review podcasts? These are the 10 best movie review podcasts, all for your listening pleasure.

There is no denying that it was a pretty rough year for movies, as many of the most highly anticipated releases shuffled off to future dates in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what the past year proved is that when a high-quality movie review podcast exists, it will be relevant through all the hoops and hurdles presented by the industry.

The following podcasts have some of the most genial and thought-provoking hosts around, who make the kinds of shows that listeners want to take with them wherever they are. These creators are unmatched in the podcasting medium and their shows are made even more special when they review movies on a weekly basis.

Filmspotting

Filmspotting is a podcast that is perhaps best-known in Chicago, but it has risen to greater prominence in recent years. Hosted by Josh Larsen and Adam Kempenaar, it's the perfect pod for people who want to be part of a film community and stay up to date on must-see new movies that reach for something a bit more.

Filmspotting is not averse to popular films, but they always give attention (sometimes through their "Golden Brick" award) to more under-the-radar films. Plus, they are always levying Criterion-esque reappraisals to classic films through their top five lists, Sacred Cow treatments, specific analyses of a year in film, and the annual Filmspotting Madness tournament.

The Rewatchables

As the name suggests, The Rewatchables also dabbles in movies that came out in the past. As things tend to go on The Ringer, though, The Rewatchables takes a fun look at classic movies by evaluating them through categories like the "Dion Waiters Heat Check Award" and "Apex Mountain," with its evergreen confusion.

With hosts like Bill Simmons, Van Lathan, Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins usually in the mix, the panel allows for celebrity guests ( Quentin Tarantino swung by for three films) and Ringer staffers (Liz Kelly's take on Country Strong is an all-timer) who can deviate from the occasional Rewatchables rut. Stick through the Total Recall slog for great moments like The Martian , Toy Story , and Home Alone all being covered in the same season.

The Weekly Planet

These Australian podcast hosts, Mr. Sunday Movies and Nick Mason, make for inherently lively listening, and The Weekly Planet is the perfect podcast for movie fans who love a quality blockbuster.

The Weekly Planet is largely about comic book movies , but they dabble in all sorts of big-budget affairs, including Star Wars and Army of the Dead . They never take themselves too seriously, though, and they're among the funniest movie critics working today.

Ratchet & Respectable

The beauty of Ratchet & Respectable is that it does not adhere only to reviews of movies. That's part of it, though, and writer, critic, and all-around savant Demetria L. Lucas has reviewed films like Soul and Coming 2 America .

However, she also explores many other facets of culture. This includes reviews of music and television, but her show's identity also extends to the hot button topics of today and occasional interviews with some of the industry's most interesting figures. Ratchet & Respectable is like a waystation for culture.

The Empire Film Podcast

Across the pond, The Empire Film Podcast is one of the best movie review shows for newcomers to the medium because it has a little bit of everything, including movie reviews, movie news discussions, and interviews with some of the top talents around.

After all, Empire has access to some of Hollywood's best and brightest, solely based on its reputation for loving movies, rather than just loving to critique movies. Hosts Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, and James Dyer are also funny and intelligent, which means there are never moments of cringe, which goes a long way during the interview segments.

Whether it's the string-laden, easy-listening tunes that introduce the Spoilers! podcast or the booming voice of Spoiler Man that ends it, there is always the feeling that listening to this movie review podcast is like coming home. Granted, that's also demonstrated by the camaraderie of the hosts, who all have long tenures of friendship and fun with one another.

But it's also just emblematic of how lovely and engaging a free-flowing, loosely structured movie podcast can be. Spoilers! dabbles in round-table, extracurricular pods and episode-by-episode reviews for television just as much as it does movie reviews. But it's the niche finds, like The Castle ( a classic Australian film ) and The Snowman , that keep fans coming back just as much as the multi-part Lord of the Rings series. Spoilers! is enchanting and it has something for everyone.

Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood]

From Forever Dog, Black Men Can't Jump [in Hollywood] recently eclipsed the 300 episode mark and it's only gotten better over the years. The podcast is a movie review series that dips into the archives for older films, in tandem with up-to-date movie reviews and industry/award analysis.

What helps set Black Men Can't Jump apart is that the pod reviews movies through a highly contextual lens with Hollywood's history of diversity problems at the forefront. Not to mention, hosts Jerah Milligan, James III, and Jonathan Braylock are just great fun to listen to.

The /Filmcast

It should come as no surprise that Slashfilm has one of the best movie review podcasts out there. Hosted by David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Jeff Cannata, The /Filmcast embraces the traditional model of movie reviews: weekly coverage with check-ins at the top, a "What Are You Watching?" segment, and a critic guest.

These three have been friends for a long time (including some college time in Amherst) and that chemistry comes across so strongly as to be appreciated by listeners. Nothing is more fun than when the trio finds a movie they love and are highly passionate about. Nothing, that is, except for Jeff's limericks.

The Big Picture

Returning to the movie coverage side of The Ringer, The Big Picture is easily the best movie podcast on the network and one of the best movie podcasts ever made. Hosted by Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins, The Big Picture began as an Oscar race analysis/filmmaker interview podcast and has evolved into something giddily unruly.

RELATED: Oscars 2021: 5 Wins That Everyone Saw Coming (& 5 That Surprised Us All)

When Sean and Amanda aren't stressing about the future of the Academy Awards or movie theaters, they're ranking their favorite movie twists, drafting movies from 2015, and building the Nancy Meyers Hall of Fame. It's every movie nerd's dream.

Blank Check With Griffin & David

Coming in at the premiere position is Blank Check with Griffin & David . What began as a podcast to break down The Phantom Menace has evolved into an ever-gestating miniseries about directors' filmographies. Usually, Griffin Newman, David Sims, and producer Ben Hosley are fascinated by filmmakers who received a blank check they either cashed or bounced on the big stage.

Some of their best miniseries include Brad Bird, Nora Ephron, and Ron Musker and John Clements. Currently, they're covering John Singleton with John Carpenter (and, hopefully, Gore Verbinski ) to come. But while #TheTwoFriends have become a podcasting staple and internet favorite, it's their ever-expanding cast of guests, who become honorary connoisseurs of context, that make the pod so special. It's a beautiful combination of silly bits and insightful analysis (Griffin's assessment of why Barry Jenkins' direction on Moonlight is still so memorable) and it's the peak of movie review podcasts.

The Big Picture

Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins co-host The Ringer’s The Big Picture , which covers a range of pop culture and entertainment topics, with a focus on the cinematic world of movies, film industry news, and discussions about the latest releases, as well as interviews with notable figures in the film industry.

Sean and Amanda provide insightful commentary, reviews, and analysis of both mainstream and independent films and explore broader topics related to the film industry—trends, controversies, and the impact of movies on culture and society. Segments like Top 5s (such as the Top 5 Haunted House movies) and Movie Drafts (such as the Denzel Washington Movie Draft) make The Big Picture feel like a fun place to hang. Their Ringer colleagues Brian Raftery, Chris Ryan, Van Lathan, and Bill Simmons often jump in to add different perspectives.

Blank Check

David Sims and Griffin Newman believe that after certain directors make a critically acclaimed or commercially successful film, they end up with full creative freedom and large budgets by studios to pursue their passion projects. Essentially, they have a "blank check" to make the film of their dreams. Those are the films David and Griffin cover on Blank Check .

For each episode, they pick a specific director and explore their filmography, dissecting their career, choices, and the impact of their movies on the industry. They’re as knowledgeable as they are appreciative of film, and their depth of knowledge allows them to offer insightful analysis about both the director's work and the broader world of cinema.

The core friendship between David and Griffin makes Blank Check special. They’ll point out things about films you’ve seen a million times that you’ve never noticed before.

How Did This Get Made?

You know those films that are epically bad, bizarre, or poorly produced? Even the ones that are painful to watch are fun to talk about. (In some cases, even more so.) On How Did This Get Made? , Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael discuss and mock movies like Junior , Jaws 3-D , Milk Money , F9: The Fast Saga , and more, in a comedic way.

This is a comedy podcast as much as it is a movie one. It’s clear they have genuine appreciation for the creativity and quirks of the movies they dissect. With notable guests (like Seth Rogen, Adam Scott, Jenny Slate, and Brie Larson) they shine a light on cult classics, box office flops, obscure titles, or films that have gained notoriety for how bad they are, answering the big question: How did this get made? They mix things up with call-ins from listeners, “Matinee Mondays,” and live shows. People have been laughing out loud to How Did This Get Made since 2010. Join the party.

Black Men Can’t Jump [In Hollywood]

Actors Jonathan Braylock, Jerah Milligan, and James III are the voices behind Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] , a show dedicated to the portrayal and representation of Black actors and characters in film.

For each episode, they pick a specific movie—from classics like In the Heat of the Night to newer films like The Blackening , and, yes, White Men Can’t Jump (multiple times)—and probe into its themes, plot, characters, and overall portrayal of Black culture, then analyze how the film contributes to or challenges stereotypes and tropes. It’s a serious and near academic look at the importance of representation in cinema and how the industry has evolved in terms of diversity and inclusion, but it’s not without a dash of comedy and lightheartedness.

Actors, filmmakers, and industry professionals alike (think Keegan-Michael Key and Phoebe Robinson) pop on to provide additional insights and perspectives. Jonathan, Jerah, and James are always ready with a recommendation of something they think is worth watching for its positive impact on Black culture in Hollywood.

The Rewatchables

Sports writer, commentator, and founder of The Ringer Bill Simmons is the host of The Rewatchables , a podcast that focuses on the classics and movies that we want to watch again and again and taps into our love of both film and nostalgia.

Episodes review movies that have gained a cult following, achieved critical acclaim, or have had a lasting impact on pop culture. Bill, along with a rotating panel of guests, have animated discussions on each film’s plot, characters, memorable scenes, and even offer behind-the-scenes trivia. They also talk about the impact of the movie on the industry and its rewatchability factor.

Listeners can look forward to favorite segments like "What's Age the Best," "Half-Assed Internet Research," and "Who Won the Movie,” and can suggest movies they’d love to hear covered. Bill and co. really know and love the movies. Every episode is relistenable.

Scriptnotes

For conversations about the craft of screenwriting, filmmaking, and the entertainment industry as a whole, tune into Scriptnotes , co-hosted by screenwriters John August and Craig Mazin.

Scriptnotes is anti-gatekeeping—John and Craig draw upon their experience as successful screenwriters to offer advice on everything from the art to the business of screenwriting, and give insight into current trends, developments, and issues in Hollywood. In some episodes, John and Craig analyze specific scripts or scenes from popular movies, breaking down what works and what doesn't, offering constructive criticism.

From digging into basic concepts like a film’s presence and how to write a movie to more niche thought experiments like the nature of words and what gives them their meaning, John and Craig are able to help both aspiring and professional screenwriters alike with the mega guests who join them. (Like Greta Gerwig!)

The Bechdel Cast

The Bechdel Test is a meme-turned-academic test used to measure gender representation in media. And on The Bechdel Cast , comedians Jamie Loftus and Caitlin Durante use it as criteria to analyze the representation of women in film. To pass the test, a film must have at least two named female characters who have a conversation with each other that does not revolve around a man. Sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how often your favorite movies fail. (And how surprising movies like Mean Girls pass.)

The Bechdel Test is decades old, and much about the way we talk about gender in media has changed, and Jamie and Caitlin have adapted the show to acknowledge that by challenging binary thinking and weaving intersectionality into their discussions and movie reviews.

So it’s a movie podcast, sure. But it’s also a show about feminism, gender equality, and the importance of diverse and well-rounded female characters in storytelling. The best part? It’s hilarious. Episodes can feel like comedy sets, and recurring inside jokes make loyal listeners feel part of The Bechdel Cast family.

Black on Black Cinema

There’s certainly a need for greater diversity and representation in the film industry, and on Black on Black Cinema , Micah, Terrence, and Rob provide in-depth Black film reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community, one movie at a time.

Their conversations go deep into commentary about how Black actors and directors have impacted and challenged traditional Hollywood narratives. A few things make this show stand out, besides the fact it’s focusing on Black film: Micah, Terrance, and Rob, lean into disagreements, which makes for interesting, complex discussions. And there isn’t a lot of fluff. They get into things fast and stay on track. While addressing important social issues, the team keeps the jokes rolling.

One Apple Podcasts review says: “This podcast is like listening in on a conversation in a black barbershop. The guys are funny and insightful.”

Paul Scheer mocks bad movies on How Did This Get Made , and on Unspooled , which he co-hosts with film critic Amy Nicholson, he’s doing something a little different.

For season one, Amy and Paul went through the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 American movies of all time and gave in-depth analysis, historical and cultural context, and a review for each, explaining how the classic film fit into the history of cinema. Now that they’re done with that, their seasons skip around to other movies, based on themes like horror flicks, documentaries and romantic comedies, with help from their vibrant listener community, who write in with their own picks and vote in Unspooled’s Listener's Choice Bracket. Guests come in sometimes, but this is a really host- and community-driven show.

MUBI is a streaming service that just so happens to have one the most interesting, well-produced movie podcasts out there. It was twice named "Best Arts or Entertainment Podcast" at the L.A. Press Club’s 2022 and 2023 National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, was nominated for a 2022 Webby Award for "Best Individual Podcast Episode” and for "Best New Podcast" at the 2022 British Podcast Awards, and was nominated for "Best Entertainment Show" and "Best Scriptwriting" at the 2023 Ambie Awards. So while I tend to think it’s underrated, it is getting noticed.

It’s a storytelling film podcast that works its way through themes. Season one focused on films that have great importance in their home country, but are less celebrated by international audiences. Season two told stories about individual movie theaters. In season three, new episodes focused on film “needle-drops”—moments where filmmakers deployed pre-existing music instead of an original score.

Little Gold Men

Little Gold Men is Vanity Fair’s movie podcast that covers a wide range of topics about the film industry, with a strong focus on awards shows, red-carpet premieres, and the road it takes for films to get there.

Their awards season coverage is the place to learn about predictions, nominees, winners, and history. They’re busy during the film festivals, too, covering noteworthy films and emerging talent at Cannes, Sundance and more. Off-season is fleshed out with movie analysis and interviews with filmmakers, actors, directors, and other industry pros.

Hosts Katey Rich, Richard Lawson, Becca Ford, and David Canfield might be your Oscar oracles, but they’ll keep you up to date all year round.

Films to Be Buried With

Roy Kent truly is “here, he's there, he's every-f*cking-where!" ( Ted Lasso fans will recognize the fan chant for the show’s AFC Richmond captain.) The man behind the legend is Brett Goldstein, who also hosts the podcast Films to be Buried With .

The premise: Brett asks his guests to name the films that are so good you’d want to be buried with them. Of course, the conversation is never that simple, and the guests end up describing their own lives through the great movies they’d like to take with them to the grave. It’s an interesting way to get to know people like Heléne York, Barry Jenkins, Taylor Tomlinson, and yes…Jason Sudekis.

Brett is a great conversationalist who doesn’t pretend to be a film expert (though he has seen a lot of movies)—he really wants to know more about his fantastic guests. But along the way, we hear about favorites and classics like When Harry Met Sally , The Sound of Music , and more.

You Are Good

You Are Good bills itself as a “feelings podcast about movies.” It’s not film criticism (although it does go there) as much as it is an opportunity for hosts Sarah Marshall (of You’re Wrong About ) and Alex Steed to gush about favorite movies with guests and get to the bottom of why these films hit us so hard.

Sarah and Alex go back into the archives—most of the movies are at least a decade old—to wade through all the emotions of nostalgia, joy, and occasionally discomfort that titles like Top Gun , High Fidelity , Steel Magnolias , and Amadeus bring.

This is a kind and empathetic show, more about human nature than film history or facts. It feels like a warm hug and a happy place you can run to when you just want to bask in the glow of beloved movies, and the things that make them resonate with us all.

Hollywood Gold

Hollywood Gold isn’t just another film review podcast. Daniela Taplin Lundberg of Stay Gold Features ( The Kids Are All Right, Harriet, Honey Boy ) covers films like Thelma & Louise , Memento , and Mean Streets— but on Hollywood Gold, instead of hearing from an actor or a film critic, you hear from producers and screenwriters: the people behind the scenes who saw everything and really know the whole story.

It feels a little gossip-y, kind of like You Must Remember This . But the films are more modern blockbusters—think The Outsiders (with the film’s producer Fred Roos), Austin Powers (with the film’s producer Jennifer Todd), or Scream (with the film’s producer Cathy Konrad). A podcast like this could easily get "inside baseball" really quickly, but Daniela makes sure to explain terms that may not make sense to people outside of the industry, and adds plenty of context to catch us all up.

Podcast Review

The 9 Best Film Podcasts

D id you hear about the showdown between hyper-intelligent robots and a group of fearless artists determined to defend their craft? No, this isn’t the plot of Terminator Seven. Writers, actors, and directors across Hollywood have been striking against inadequate pay and in defense of their rights in the age of AI. If the ensuing content drought didn’t send you straight to TikTok, our list of top film podcasts will keep you entertained until Dune 2 hits the screens. And always remember, we must protect Sarah Connor.

Film is an art form where discussion can be as integral as watching. After all, what do you do after sitting in silence in the theatre for two hours? You go for a drink and talk about the movie. Everyone loves to discuss movies, so it’s no surprise that the film podcast scene is flourishing. And just like the movies they discuss, film podcasts are full of tropes. There’s the “laugh about how terrible this movie is” trope. The “alienating niche film references” trope. Oh, and the “no-laughing-allowed, let’s talk about how politically insensitive this film is” trope. Any of these approaches can make for blockbuster podcasting, just as any of them can make for a box office dud. It’s like the difference between Goodfellas and John Travolta’s Gotti . They’re both mafia movies, telling epic tales of masculinity and hubris. But find me a critic that mentions Robert de Niro and John Travolta’s performances in the same breath, and I’ll show you someone paid off by the mob. Great movie podcasts add to the conversation around film and avoid mere self-indulgence — here’s a breakdown of the best.

Kermode and Mayo’s Take

If you’ve been mourning the end of the hugely popular Kermode on Film show, worry not. Britain’s “most loved film critic” has returned after a short hiatus to launch this new podcast with his long-time co-host, Simon Mayo. It all seems suspiciously similar: on-the-fly reviews, interviews with every A-List actor you can think of, and a slew of industry anecdotes. But it’s not all the same. They’re now talking about film-adjacent TV, too.

The jury’s still out on whether these two actually like each other. They bicker, interrupt and snipe, often hilariously. This argumentative format is all part of the experience, though. Don’t let the playful cynicism fool you; Kermode speaks eloquently about his love of cinema, and his honesty convinces.

How Did This Get Made?

What do the films Sharknado , Piranhaconda , and Zombeavers have in common? Besides starring water-based baddies, they’re all films we know are bad, but that we watch anyway because — eh, *shrugs* — sometimes you need reminding that you’re smarter than something. Cue How Did This Get Made? , the passion project of actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas. The trio sit around a table twice a week to giggle at the plot holes, ludicrous dialogue, and dire acting in audience-picked “bad” movies. You’re probably best off watching the films first so you can gloat along. Chemistry and comic timing make this show a lot of fun.

You Must Remember This

Many movie podcasts re-live both the good and awful bits of the film you watched last night. Judging by the name, You Must Remember This might fool you into thinking it’s just that. But au contraire. Presented by Karina Longworth, this long-running podcast is a meticulously researched investigation into twentieth-century Hollywood, uncovering its “secret and/or forgotten histories.” Invariably, those shiny Hollywood images are not how you remembered them. Longworth is an author as well as a film critic, and these “podcast-essays” unfold like stories. She is currently embarking on a deep dive into Hollywood’s “Erotic Eighties,, an investigation into how the pornographic made its way into movie theatres. You Must Remember This is my pick for the most entertaining and informative film podcast.

The Director’s Cut

What goes into directing a film? You need an artistic vision, the nous to coax incredible performances from actors, and the ability to deal with the onslaught of inevitable delays and disasters that are part and parcel of making a film. Want to find out more? Look no further than this podcast produced by the lofty Director’s Guild of America, wherein the industry’s most lauded auteurs give their insights into how today’s best films are being made. Expect mostly male perspectives and plenty of nepotism. Nevertheless, this is essential listening for aspiring directors and the generally film-obsessed.

The Bechdel Cast

Just because Hollywood abounds with morally questionable big-wigs and nefarious practices doesn’t mean film podcasts have just to accept that. Take The Bechdel Cast for instance. It casts a critical eye on popular movies, inquiring whether they hold up to feminist and intersectional scrutiny. Taking the Bechdel Test as its jumping-off point (Are there at least two women talking in this movie? Great! Now, do they talk about anything besides a man ?), the show counters male-dominated Hollywood with astute, against-the-grain commentary, exploring the misogyny, homophobia, and racism that creep into a major director’s work.

You may know host Jamie Loftus from her brilliant Lolita Podcast , and this show delivers a similar cultural critique. It should be noted that the hosts can sometimes oversimplify a film or a director’s intentions (see the episode on Mulholland Drive). Nonetheless, this podcast will appeal to film enthusiasts sick of the patriarchy’s stranglehold over the film industry.

Classic Movie Musts

Have you ever looked at the comments section of an avant-garde film on MUBI? You’ll find, without fail, a glut of semi-coherent blathering. Think film-grads typing out grandiloquent monologues on the meaning of life, and how they glimpsed it in the film. Ultimately these comments demonstrate little more than the viewers’ ability to watch and enjoy a movie — a self-satisfied testament to their urbanity. Bravo, chap. Good for you. If you’re after seminal work, you might as well open an incognito browser and watch a completely different type of film.

Perhaps these film buffs are better off checking out Classic Movie Musts instead. Host Max Baril and his guests produce essayistic commentaries on classic films with appreciation very much in mind. The podcast offers a literary perspective, exploring the aesthetic and directorial decisions that make the classics brilliant. Expect interesting takes on the formal elements of camera work, set design, and narrative meaning.

Black on Black Cinema

Tired of film commentary whitewashing Black cinema? Bored of the slew of “Black” films engineered for white audiences? Black on Black Cinema began as a conversation by and for a Black audience. Films aren’t just a form of escapism, as hosts Terrence, Jay, Micah, and T’ara are well aware. For over seven years, this excellent podcast has been interspersing episodes focused on the issues of contemporary America with discussions of Black cinema. The show vibrates with the tensions that make cultural and political life in the United States seep into each other. But there’s no film jargon here and no doom and gloom despite it all. Each week, these hosts sit down for a casual but informed chat, throwing out opinions and laugh-out-loud jokes like they’re talking over a few beers.

Groovy Movies

After rubbing their eyes blearily from work, hosts Lily Austin and James Brailsford slam down their laptops at the end of the day to spend an hour talking about cinema on their podcast Groovy Movies . The show began last year as an analysis of individual films. Since then, the formula has changed slightly; each episode explores a broader subject, from auteur cinema to French film to plot twists. Put simply, every conversation will entertain and provoke. Slightly less simply, this show takes a dialectical approach to watching movies.

The tepid name possesses, under its British politeness, a steely-eyed focus. Taken from the name of a Kinks song, Groovy Movies demonstrates strong opinions and an unerring, though friendly, impulse to battle out their inter-generational perspectives. James wields the industry experience, whilst Lily has her finger on the pulse of the political talking points surrounding the industry. Neither theory nor practice wins out. Both push each other to enhance their perspective, making it a great one for film buffs.

The Microbudget Indie Filmmakers Podcast

No doubt, reader, you are now up to your ears in conversations about films. You can now happily zone out during your daily commute. But if one day soon, as you stare vacantly down the carriage, the itch takes you to make a film yourself, why not switch on this brilliant show and take the plunge?

Host Zanah Thirus returned this year by popular demand, releasing new episodes more-or-less monthly. If Zanah needs further encouragement to keep posting her episodes on how to make a movie with almost no budget, we encourage her to let the podcast run and run. Partnering with Minorities in Film, The Microbudget is for those without the wallet or the family background to waltz into the next blockbuster. If you’ve got the passion, the dedication, and the eye to be a filmmaker, this show is for you.

13 Great Film Podcasts, According to a Film Critic

It’s that glorious time of year: fall movie season! More specifically, it’s that slot in the calendar, just slightly after the scrum of film festivals and as the first waves of awards-buzz flicks begin to trickle out, when my brain suddenly shifts toward fixating on Oscar trivia, awards betting odds, and new movie release schedules at my local independent cinema here in Middle America, with its extensive lag in distributing new releases.

To commemorate the occasion, I thought it would be fun to wrap a whole newsletter around the vibrant genre of film podcasts. (Fun fact: Film podcasts were the very first podcasts I got into when I initially became a fan of the medium. Shoutout to the OG Filmspotting .) To that end, I reached out to New York film critic Bilge Ebiri, who happens to be a patron of, and an exceptionally prolific guest on, such programs.

Nick Quah: I get the sense, just from following your Twitter feed over the years, that you listen to film podcasts a fair bit. What’s in your rotation?

Bilge Ebiri: It’s weird, because I don’t think of myself as a big film-podcast listener. I mostly listen to sports and basketball podcasts — mainly because I can’t stand to read sports coverage — and I often prefer to read about films than to hear about films. I have been a guest on a lot of podcasts. I like doing them, and they’re all very interesting people. When I’m invited on a podcast, I listen to as many of them as I can before I jump on to get a sense of what they’re like. Very often, I’ll stick around and dip in when it’s an actor or a director or a guest I’m interested in.

The ones I do listen to are ones I feel guilty about not listening to all the time. One of them is Cows in the Field . It’s by Justin Khoo and his wife, Laura, both of whom are blindingly smart. Justin actually teaches philosophy at MIT. It’s one of the few podcasts that I will listen to even if it’s a movie I’m not necessarily interested in or a movie I’ve never heard about, which is rare. They bring a level of … “elevated discourse” is maybe not the right word, but they’re able to tackle deep philosophical themes with these movies in a way many movie podcasts tend not to. They’ll engage you on the ideas in a movie, so you wind up doing some work when you’re speaking with them.

Another one I like is Light the Fuse . It’s mostly about Mission: Impossible , but they’ll occasionally go off and do another movie that’s somehow related. Recently, they did a few episodes around Top Gun , and they call that series Light the Fuselage . It’s probably the best podcast to listen to if you’re at all interested in the craft of making films. Most of their guests are people who’ve worked on Mission: Impossible movies or adjacent films — for example, they had Joseph Kosinski on, who directed Top Gun: Maverick , or Eddie Hamilton, who edited Top Gun . They’ll talk to editors, sound designers, assistant cameramen. The nice thing about bringing on these people is that they actually get into the nitty-gritty. Especially when they’re talking about movies from the past, the bullshit just goes away. People aren’t in promo mode. And because these are often below-the-line people who aren’t media trained, you can get a lot of great stories.

They also keep the podcast short, which I appreciate. I don’t mind long podcasts, like, you know, the Blank Check guys. I’ve been on that show a couple of times, too. They do a good job with the epic two- or three-hour podcasts, but my problem is that I’ll start listening to one for about an hour, and I’ll love it, but I’ll never finish it because my walk is over or the dishes are done, you know?

There are all these other little podcasts I’ve really enjoyed doing and listening to. Exiting Through the 2010s , which is kind of focused on movies from the 2010s. The B-Side . Oeuvre Busters , which I can’t tell if it’s around any more. [ Nick’s note : They are, but have since rebranded as Rohmercast .] They would do deep dives on specific filmmakers. It’s another podcast like Cows in the Field , where the hosts were really well prepared, everyone knew their stuff, and we talked about heady concepts. Cannes I Kick It , which looks at films from a particular festival slate and uses it as an excuse to talk about different directors. I went on there to talk about Claire Denis , who famously has not been to many Cannes festivals. The Film Stage Show is one I was just on to talk about Three Thousand Years of Longing . One of the hosts and I got into a brief shouting match, which was fun. It can be fun if you’re all agreeing about a movie, but I really enjoy it when there’s a real give and take. I don’t get to do that much in my daily life. I mean, I’ll see fellow critics at screenings and stuff, but we don’t really talk that much. I’m home with my wife and son, and sometimes my son sees the movies I see, but not that often. I think whenever I show him a movie, he just feels obligated to say he likes it.

I really like Watch With Jen™ . It’s Jen Johans’s podcast, who I think is based out of Arizona, and she’ll have guests on to talk about a specific subject and then multiple films around that subject. I guested on an episode where we talked about Colin Farrell movies , and in a couple of weeks I’ll get back on to talk about Ralph Fiennes movies. They’re pegged to movies that are coming out, but it’s a chance to talk about these older films, and for me to revisit these older films, which is something I really enjoy doing.

Of course, I love the podcasts by my friend Blake Howard, who made One Heat Minute , which was such a great project. [ Nick’s note : It was — the premise involves dedicating each episode to talking about a different minute in Michael Mann’s iconic film Heat .] Blake has since become a podcast impresario . He’s done all of these other different projects, and I’m astounded by how enthusiastic he still manages to be for a guy who appears to be doing multiple podcasts a day. After One Heat Minute , he did All the President’s Minutes , which was phenomenal. He also made a Zodiac series , which was wonderful, and much more scripted. He does Miami Nice with Katie Walsh, and you know, I love Miami Vice . It started off with them just talking about Miami Vice and how much they loved it and it sort of grew and grew and grew. Now they’ll get a guy who was Colin Farrell’s assistant on that movie. It’s become more granular, and more gossipy, which is great.

Nick Quah: It strikes me that film podcasts are uniquely good at plugging into two modes of engagement that’s prominent with movie culture: deep, almost-exegetical analysis, and nostalgic ephemera. It’s kind of a space for extreme processing of history, basically.

Bilge Ebiri: That’s the thing. I like to write about older films, and it’s fascinating to me how little of the past has managed to be preserved in the online era. We thought the internet was going to be this thing that preserved everything; we didn’t have to remember things because the internet was gonna remember it all for us. But the opposite happened, and we realized, “Oh right, the internet remembering everything doesn’t mean anything if we don’t remember it ourselves.” So you have all this stuff that basically only exists in the minds of people who … well, are old. I like a lot of these podcasts because they actually talk about older films. It’s a way to talk about them without having to come up with a take or pegging it to an anniversary.

Though there are some I like that are more news updates, like the [horror-centric] New Flesh podcast. I like Disaster Girls , by Jordan Crucchiola (who used to work at Vulture) and Amanda Smith, where they’re just talking about disaster movies. There are so many of them that they just have infinite opportunities to talk about these movies. I love that; podcasts that are built around a specific subject like that. In a way, blogs used to do that. There’d be a blog dedicated to this or that type of movie. I see less and less of those today, and yeah, I guess they’ve kind of migrated to podcasts.

Nick Quah: Do you get the sense if film criticism, and perhaps criticism more generally, is shifting to these other digital spaces? Or, perhaps, if you were trying to find your way into criticism, making a podcast or making YouTube essays could be a way to wedge open the door?

Bilge Ebiri: This is the thing: I don’t watch anything on YouTube. Not because I think they’re bad or anything like that. It’s just a habit from being in the office where I feel like if I’m watching a YouTube video, I’m not doing my job. Whereas a podcast you listen to while you’re multitasking. I can’t really write when I’m listening to a podcast, but I can do a million other things.

As for the criticism thing, I don’t know if that’s a way in so much as that’s a way to go further in that space. I remember, one of the first podcasts I ever did was The Cinephiliacs , which was started by Peter Labuza. At the time, he was working at a legal office. Young guy. Grad school, if I remember correctly. We came in after hours at the legal office and we’d sit in the conference room — he had permission to do it — and he’d set up the microphone and everything. Then he would grill the guest, usually critics, for about an hour about their career and stuff, and then talk about a movie. That was a really fun podcast to do, and Peter was really, really smart. He continued on, and I think he’s now … an academic, I wanna say. [ Nick’s note : Labuza is now a researcher with the International Cinematographers Guild. Also, Ebiri’s very first film podcast experience was on Filmwax Radio , an interview show hosted by Adam Schartoff, which started way back in 2011.]

A podcast, I think, can be a way to move forward, but I don’t know if there are many cases of someone who just did a podcast who then left to another medium, because they require quite different skills. A lot of writers, they’ll have their regular gig or whatever, but then they’ll also have a podcast, which gets them in front of a different audience. I find that when I do a podcast, you know, I’ll get a lot of new followers who are younger. I don’t know if that correlates, but that’s been my impression.

Nick Quah: Last question. As we get closer to the NBA season: favorite basketball podcast?

Bilge Ebiri: Oh, so I have three, and I listen to every episode of these. There’s the Glue Guys podcast, which is basically two Nets fans. They’re under The Athletic , so they love to talk about how they’re now a subsidiary of the New York Times . They don’t do a lot of in-game analysis. They mostly talk a little bit about a game, but they talk a lot about just like the vibe around the Nets.

I really like the Brooklyn Buzz podcast, um, which is again, two Nets fans. One of them is actually in Australia, Jack Manuel, which is funny because he’s been a Nets fan for years before they got all these Australian players. They’re a fun podcast because Jack gets very emotional about the Nets. He’ll get very emotional about the game and start yelling and screaming and stuff, which is great.

And the last one is Locked On Nets . They actually feel like they’ve been following the Nets for longer than anybody because they have a real sense of perspective and just have a reflective quality about them. I really appreciate that, because one thing I’ve found with a lot of sports podcasts is that no one … I mean, we talked about film and people not having any memory, but compared to sports-podcast people, film-podcast people are like elephants!

ULTI is a cognitive formula with an energy boost.

Professionals from both the nutraceutical and gaming industries teamed up to created the ULTImate focus + energy supplement for gaming, esports, exercise, or anyone who needs to focus on the task at hand and get things done. ULTI uses only premium ingredients and superior formulation to create a healthier and more cost effective alternative to sugary energy drinks.

Taurine 1000mg Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that supports blood flow and regulation of neurotransmitters in the brain. Fatigue of the mind and body is what happens during long periods of intense focus and Taurine combats both.

Natural Caffeine 206mg Caffeine needs no introduction ... ULTI contains 206mg of Natural Caffeine for just the right amount of energy and no crash.

L-Carnitine 200mg L-carnitine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body. It helps the body produce energy by breaking down fatty acids and turning them into energy. It is often used to increase alertness, cognition, and muscle recovery.

L-Theanine 100mg L-Theanine is best known as the active ingredient in Green Tea. It is the prerequisite ingredient for calming various neurotransmitters and has been shown to promote a sense of focused relaxation. Clinical studies have shown that, when taken with caffeine, L-Theanine can mute the negative effect that caffeine can have on blood pressure without affecting the benefits that it brings for attention and alertness. The result of this pairing is an incredibly smooth, balanced energy and focus boost without the crash.

Get Reel: These Are the Best Film Podcasts to Listen to in 2022

We've compiled a list of the best movie podcasts for film buffs of all stripes.

Have you ever gotten into an hours-long conversation with a friend about a personally beloved—or loathed—movie? Sometimes, that experience can be more satisfying than watching the film itself. Happily for all of us who love thinking and talking about movies, there are a ton of brilliant movie podcasts out there that do just that—hosting fascinating, informative, and funny conversations about all things cinema.

We've compiled a list of the best movie podcasts for film buffs of all stripes. Some of these are in-depth review podcasts, where you can get insightful analysis of new releases and forgotten gems. Some are weekly news roundups, bringing you the latest headlines from the film and entertainment worlds. There are podcasts here for sci-fi and horror fans, queer film lovers, '90s movie aficionados, anyone looking for a deep-dive into film history, and everyone in between.

How Did This Get Made?

There's no denying it—there's something alluring about really bad movies. If you have a soft spot for truly terrible films, you're not alone. Actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas share a fondness for bad movies, and they get together each week to watch one and discuss it. Their conversations are hilarious, and while they probably won't convince you that the movies they discuss are actually good, they might make you want to watch them anyway. A few of the gems they've covered include Diana: The Musical , The Smurfs , and Kate & Leopold .

The Big Picture

For fans who'd rather hear all about the really good stuff, The Big Picture will keep you up to date on all the latest movies you should definitely check out. Hosts Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins review primarily recent releases, and their hour-plus conversations, often including assorted colleagues and guests, are always entertaining and illuminating. Episodes sometimes offer special fun features like their "Top 5" lists of vampire movies, revenge movies, film scores, movie robots, the best scenes in action movies—and just about anything and everything relating to film.

Space Brains

A can't-miss podcast for sci-fi fans, Space Brains is dedicated to discussing what's good and what's great about science fiction movies. Hosts Surrey Hughes and Mark Regan review plenty of new releases, sometimes inviting the film's director or writer to join them. They also dive into the vault for lively conversations about sci-fi classics like Blade Runner and Invasion of the Body Snatchers , as well as lesser known gems and international films. There's simply no better podcast for thoughtful reviews of sci-fi films across a wide variety of sub-genres.

A Piece of Pie: The Queer Film Podcast

While LGBTQIA+ films are finally starting to gain mainstream popularity, long before hits such as Moonlight and Love, Simon , writers and directors were (sometimes covertly) making queer films. In this engaging podcast, host Brian Rowe explores queer film history and its lasting impact. He's joined by a rotating cast of writers, critics, and film buffs to discuss LGBTQIA+ filmmaking. They review queer classics and new releases, delving into queer subtext, harmful queer film tropes, the evolution of queer cinema, and more.

Black on Black Cinema - Black Film Reviews

Black on Black Cinema should be your first stop for all things related to the Black film world. Hosted by Jay, Micah, Terrence, and T'ara, aka "the crew," this podcast is a blend of movie reviews, focusing on films by, about, and starring Black people, and conversations exploring the intersections of film, media, and Black culture, or other topics of interest and relevance to the Black community. Episodes cover everything from '70's blaxploitation films to the commercialization of Juneteenth.

To the '90s and Beyond! Film Podcast

Movie lovers who grew up with ‘90s classics such as Jurassic Park and Forrest Gump —or anyone who's come to love them since—will appreciate this podcast. Host Vince Leo revisits the most memorable films from the decade, while also covering newer movies that are either set in the '90s or have been influenced by '90s films, drawing interesting and sometimes surprising connections between past and present. The episodes are short, all under 30 minutes, making them perfect for listening on the fly.

Final Girls Horrorcast

Have you ever been in the mood for a scary movie night in, only to find yourself stuck in endless scrolling hell? Final Girls Horrorcast will ease your frustrations and satisfy your fears. This podcast is dedicated to reviewing horror, thriller, and sci-fi films currently available on major streaming sites. Hosts Aimee and Carly have eclectic tastes, thoughtfully dissecting everything from slasher flicks to sci-fi dramas, from chilling classics to hidden horror gems.

We Hate Movies

When a bunch of comedians get together to talk about bad movies, hilarity is bound to ensue. Every episode of We Hate Movies is like a mini comedy routine focused on one particular film. The quartet of comedians—Andrew Jupin, Eric Szyszka, Stephen Sajdak, and Chris Cabin—use movies as their jumping off point, launching them into spot-on impressions, meandering tangents, and lots of hilarious banter. All movie fans will find a lot to love in this silly podcast, but anyone looking for a good laugh will enjoy it too.

Reel Asian Podcast

Hosted by four first-generation Asian Americans—Raymond Luu, Renee Ya, Alan Duong, and Baldwin Diep—who all love movies, Reel Asian Podcast is devoted to analyzing Asian and Asian American representation in film as well as uplifting Asian and Asian American cinema. Every week, the hosts discuss a different film, exploring its importance from a variety of angles, from its impact on pop culture to what it has to teach us about American history, sometimes joined by guests like Emma Galbraith, the star of Inbetween Girl . You'll hear about iconic films like The Joy Luck Club , along with lesser-known gems like the queer cult classic, Saving Face .

Adjust Your Tracking

A lot of film podcasts focus on new releases, but Adjust Your Tracking takes a different approach. Friends and co-hosts Lena Delaney and Oliver Jones are determined to make their way through a century of film, one year at a time. Each episode features a review of whatever movie they've watched recently—from 1930’s All Quiet on the Western Front to the 1985 French New Wave film, Vagabond . Movie history buffs looking for reviews of both famous and largely forgotten 20th-century films are sure to be delighted by this show.

You Must Remember This

A beautifully produced and thoroughly researched podcast, You Must Remember This is a must-listen for film history buffs and anyone drawn to the glamour and grit of Hollywood's first century. Host Karina Longworth, a former film critic for LA Weekly , takes listeners deep into the heart of 20th-century Hollywood, exploring the untold stories behind the stars, directors, scandals, blockbusters, and controversies, from Humphrey Bogart to The Godfather , from Marilyn Monroe to Bull Durham .

The Empire Film Podcast

As the official podcast of Empire , the world's biggest and most respected movie magazine, this is your one-stop listen for news, reviews, analysis, hot takes, and lively discussions of all things film. Releasing every Friday, episodes include reviews of the week's new films and interviews with actors, directors, and writers, plus an assortment of fun film-related banter.

Movies, Films and Flix

Fans of pop culture podcasts will also enjoy this fun, lighthearted movie podcast, which releases an episode just about every other day. An eclectic band of movie fans and critics gets together to discuss what they've been watching and what they think of it, alongside whatever wild story is dominating movie news that week. Oh, and Movies, Films and Flix tackles real issues, like "What is Kurt Russell's best sleeveless shirt?" Come and listen for the laughs, and you'll be sure to stay for the surprisingly insightful reviews of classic cult films and underrated gems.

The Marvel Guys

The ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe is so big and popular that there are dozens of podcasts dedicated solely to exploring it—and The Marvel Guys is one of the best out there. As fans with different relationships to the world of Marvel movies and comics, hosts Spencer and Jordan bring their unique perspectives to the show, providing fresh commentary and analysis. They discuss and review Marvel movies and TV shows, talk about what's going on in the fandom, offer in-depth studies of Marvel characters, and have spirited debates about their favorite series.

The Business

This weekly news and interview podcast is hosted by award-winning journalist Kim Masters of The Hollywood Reporter . The Business blends discussions of entertainment industry news with interviews of actors, producers, writers, and directors. Past guests include Peter Jackson, director, writer, and producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy; actor, producer, comedian, musician, and author Steve Martin; Pakistani-Canadian journalist, filmmaker, and activist Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy; and Hwang Dong-hyuk, South Korean film director and creator of the hit series, Squid Game .

Mad About Movies

The best thing about this podcast is the trio of hosts—a producer, Kent Garrison; a film critic, Brian Gill; and a humorist, Richard Bardon—who each occupy a unique place in the film world. Every week, the three get together to review a new movie, discuss old favorites, talk about entertainment news, and generally have a good time doing it. The Mad About Movies vibe is laidback—the hosts are passionate about movies, but they don't take themselves too seriously.

The 7 best movie podcasts every cinephile should be listening to

A selection of podcasts you should bung into your earbuds

There are thousands of movie podcasts available right now, but picking the right one to bung into your earbuds can be a hassle. Do you go for a series devoted to movie trivia? Weekly reviews? The making of a blockbuster?

With so much variety, we've searched high and low for the best movie podcasts. We've even started our own, featuring some of the best movie writers in the business! (Yes, we're biased, but we're also correct.) Of course, not every movie podcast could make the cut, but here's our selection tailer-made for cinephiles.

Ghibliotheque

The Studio Ghibli movies are beautiful works of art that need to be discussed. And if you're watching them for the first time, there's no better accompaniment that Ghibliotheque. The podcast sees a seasoned Studio Ghibli fanatic and a newcomer to the iconic movies discuss each movie after watching them.

Their discussions on Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, and Princess Mononoke are highlights, plus some of the later podcasts are recorded with a live audience, making for all sorts of shenanigans. You can listen here .

The Evolution of Horror

There are few people who love their horror like Mike Muncer. The host of The Evolution of Horror podcast adores the genre, and on his podcast celebrates as much with a rotating roster of guests – including a couple of GamesRadar+ and Total Film writers.

If you love a good fright – and talking about why you're a wimp when it comes to certain spooky clowns or famous slashers, then The Evolution of Horror is ready-made for you. Highlights include discussions on The Exorcist, Suspiria (remake and original), and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You can listen here .

School of Movies

Alex and Sharon Shaw are two of the hardest working people in podcasting. As well as hosting a series of alternate history audio dramas, they also produce School of Movies, a deep dive into films and TV.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

What's unique about the pair is that, in an industry laden down with endless snark, they approach each movie in an inclusive, fair fashion. We recommend starting with their Sucker Punch episode, which – while nearly 3 hours long – is a wonderful discussion on a controversial movie. You can listen here .

Black List Table Reads

We're slightly cheating here, as Black List Table Reads ended back in 2017. Yet, there's a wealth of content to go back and explore. The premise is simple: the hosts take the best at-the-time-unproduced screenplays in Hollywood and turn them into "ear movies". Each one is followed by an interview with the author, conducted by Black List founder Franklin Leonard.

As the podcast went on, the guests became more acclaimed, including Barry Jenkins, who discussed the making of his Oscar-winning movie Moonlight. A must listen to anyone who wants to know more about the movie-making and script-writing process. You can listen here .

Inside Total Film

Again, we're slightly cheating, but not because this podcast has finished – but because it's ours! Every fortnight, the Total Film team discuss the latest film news and releases, ranging from the week's biggest blockbusters to the hidden art-house gems that every film buff should be seeking out.

Hosted by editor-in-chief Jane Crowther, the Inside Total Film podcast also sees the editorial team – consisting of some of the country's most knowledgeable cinephiles – interview some of the biggest filmmakers and actors currently working. Recent guests include Sam Mendes, Robert Pattinson, Felicity Jones, and Tom Hanks. You can listen here .

How Did This Get Made?

A gloriously NSFW sprint through some of the worst movies ever made, How Did This Get Made? is fast-paced, funny, and powered by the hosts’ personalities. Jason Mantzoukas (The Good Place), Paul Scheer (Veep), and June Diane Raphael (Long Shot) pull zero punches as they take down some so-called "classics".

What makes the show work is how in-depth they always go. In fact, you get three shows in one feed: the movie discussions, live episodes with an audience, and prequels (where they answer audience questions and do some surprisingly personal magazine pieces). Hate watching has never been this much fun. You can listen here.

You Must Remember This

Karina Longworth's passion project, You Must Remember This offers an in-depth look at the Hollywood of old: the rise and fall of the studios, the history and consequences of the McCarthy hearings, and the lives of classic stars.

Longworth lets her stories speak for themselves, but always gives context when needed. Start with episode two, Frank Sinatra in Space, about Sinatra's forgotten three-disc science fiction concept album. You can listen here.

6. You Must Remember This

We watch movies to immerse ourselves in another time, place, or life. However, while engaging with other narratives is entertaining, it also educates audiences.

7. The Secret History of Hollywood

Do you wish you could go behind the scenes of iconic Hollywood movies? Similarly to our previous recommendation, The Secret History of Hollywood aims to uncover the untold side of cinema. Host Adam Roche offers a documentary-style narration, teaching listeners about different aspects of Hollywood. The accompanying music adds energy to the episodes, which is essential since they are one of the longest on this list. While past episodes have exceeded three hours, some bypass the seven-hour mark. These aren’t episodes you can listen to in one go unless you’re on a long commute! Nonetheless, they are well informed and make a great classic movie podcast.

8. The Monsters That Made Us

Old horror movies are as iconic as they come and have impacted cinema in various ways. If you’re interested in film history, you should tune into horror movie podcasts to understand the genre’s role in modern movies.

The Monsters Who Made Us is an excellent example of a show that does this. Each episode analyzes a classic movie and its characters. For instance, previous installments have explored Frankenstein and The Phantom of the Opera . It’s an exciting and informative classic movie podcast, especially for fans of the traditional gothic genre.

9. Black on Black Cinema

A film history podcast wouldn’t paint a complete picture without discussing the role of Black actors and filmmakers. Throughout history, the industry has had its issues, particularly with discrimination on the screen and behind the scenes. The hosts in this show chat about the Black film industry, including classics and contemporary favorites. While they bring an honest and heavy conversation to the table, the hosts also balance the show with humor. It has become one of the top movie podcasts. So, tune in to Black on Black Cinema for a relevant and revealing conversation about films.

The 20 Best Movie Podcasts (for every film buff)

Last updated on January 26th, 2021

Unless you were a film fanatic, historically, movie chat has ranked up there with talking about weekend plans or the weather: exactly the type of fodder you need to survive the office/first date/dinner with the in-laws. But now there is new hope! Wax eloquent like Roger Ebert or A. O. Scott with these movie podcasts. More importantly, and more seriously, film podcasts are changing representation by giving a voice to the communities and issues that have, for too long, been marginalized or purposefully ignored. From deconstructing filmic tropes and challenging assumed histories to just laughing along at some really terrible movies, there are shows for everyone, from the Hollywood hopeful and the cinephile to those just trying to make it through a family dinner unscathed. Here are our favorite movie podcasts for film fans.

1. Scriptnotes

For aspiring screenwriters, listen to John August and Craig Mazin’s Scriptnotes , a weekly movie podcast that dives into all things “interesting to screenwriters.” While not claiming to be much, this film podcast is a treasure-trove of information, with hundreds of episodes a year and an enormous archive. On air since 2011, the early episodes cast a close look at the nitty-gritty of script writing: not just the common pitfalls of screenplays or if an idea is movie-worthy, but also the Bechdel test and inequality in Hollywood. The guestlist is star-studded, with everyone from David Koepp to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Melissa McCarthy stopping by to discuss the craft and creation of movies. Recurring segments like the Three-page Challenge let hopeful screenwriters send in the first pages of their scripts for on-air critiques.

Listen : Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify

If your approach is more expansive than obsessive, then film critic Amy Nicholson has you covered. Each episode begins with a single film, say Downtown Abbey or A Star is Born , and then Nicholson steers you on a rollercoaster ride from there. ZOOM is teeming with history, science and politics, and Nicholson is a nimble driver: in her recent look at portrayals of the British monarchy, she began with a dramatic description of the decapitation of Mary Queen of Scots in Thomas Edison’s short film The Execution of Mary Stuart from 1895. I didn’t even know that Edison made films, and for what it is worth, that beheading with the first recorded use of special effects in the movies.

3. The Rewatchables

From the team behind The Ringer (so you know it will be hilarious) comes The Rewatchables , which is exactly like it sounds: Bill Simmons and a rotating series of hosts “discussing movies they can’t seem to stop watching.” The co-hosts humorously break down each movie into its ‘most rewatchable scenes’ as they remember their initial viewings and evolving interpretations. Context, it seems, is everything and often, these guests are shocked by how far they’ve come as viewers. The movie podcast is witty and quick, the pop culture conversation you wish you were having at a bar.

4. You Must Remember This

Accolades pour in for You Must Remember This , the best podcast for all things old Hollywood, the secrets, scandals and forgotten histories. The episodes clock in under an hour and are all written, produced and narrated by Karina Longworth, an all-out wunderkind who somehow does everything and more in just 24-hours. Each episode’s narrative is a captivating, mind-blowing and meticulously researched feat of film journalism. The upcoming season of You Must Remember This focuses entirely on Song of the South , the 1946 hybrid animated and live-action film from Disney which was set on a post-Civil War plantation. Since it was released over seventy years ago, the film has been criticised for promoting racial stereotypes and was never released on video. So, Longworth wants to know: “what is Song of the South, and why did Disney make it?”

5. Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time PERIOD

Hollywood heavy Denzel Washington has acted in over thirty films, not to mention countless television programs and Broadway plays, and Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time PERIOD is a fan account co-hosted by two unabashed Denzealots. Although it is no longer on the air, comedian W. Kamau Bell and writer Kevin Avery made Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time PERIOD comic gold. Joined by guests like Chris Chalk and Vincent D’Onofrio, the hosts wax poetic about their favourite actor of all time as they attempt to prove their titular premise. Tackling each movie in alphabetical order, they rank the star’s performance by its Denzelishness, a scientific system consisting of five elemental truths: the Denzel walk; humor; his badass self; the Denzel lip; and his “his trademark move that consists of a sort of George Clooney head wobble coupled with narrowed eyes.” Come for the mancrush, stay for the laughs.

6. How Did This Get Made? & Unspooled

Ever wonder why that fourth movie in the horror franchise was made? Or what actually happened in the latest Tom Cruz action adventure? Well, How did this get made? might not have an answer, but certainly you will find yourself laughing along with hosts, the actors and comedians Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas, as they attempt to untangle the thorny plots of terrible films. They aren’t particularly discriminating in what they examine, and have looked at such cinematic delights as Anaconda , From Justin to Kelly , and My Stepmother Is an Alien . If you love the comedy but are hoping for something slightly more highbrow, in 2018, Scheer launched a new podcast, Unspooled , this time aimed at Hollywood’s all-time greats. Despite being a self-proclaimed movie buff, Scheer realised he shockingly hadn’t seen many of the anointed classic films. Co-hosted with Amy Nicholson of ZOOM , Scheer has been making his way through the American Film Institute’s Top 100 movies, hoping to uncover “what makes classics like Citizen Kane and Taxi Driver so special.”

7. Still Processing

While not explicitly a podcast about film, Still Processing from the New York Times is definitely worth a listen, or many listens. The podcast is hosted by the paper’s culture writers Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris, who together reckon with culture in all its diverse incarnations as they try to come to grips with with contemporary America. Each episode is chatty and compelling, focussing on a different subject from Get Out and alternative histories perpetuated by the media to J. Lo’s triumphant performance in Hustlers . Richly confessional, Morris and Wortham chat like true friends, and in revealing their insecurities, biases and crushes, they outline the messiness of processing the world. See their recent conversation about Oscar winner Green Book which skillfully connected the trial of Jason Van Dyke to racial reconciliation fantasies and the documentary Surviving R. Kelly. Culture, it seems, is never an isolated industry.

8. Black on Black Cinema

Black on Black Cinema is a nuanced look at the Black film industry. Zigzagging in time from the 2019 release of The Watchmen back to the 1974 blaxploitation action classic, Three the Hard Way , our three hosts, Jay, Micah and Terrence, thoughtfully consider the role of Black film today. Given that Hollywood has long discriminated against Black actors and filmmakers, theirs is a trenchant and supremely relevant conversation. But despite the weight of the topic, don’t think that Black on Black Cinema is devoid of humor, and these hosts know how to mock and goad one another. On air since 2012, the podcast is produced weekly, so the back catalogue is worth perusing.

9. The Qwipster Film Review Podcast

For straight up film reviews that are always more than just recaps, check out Vince Leo’s The Qwipster Film Review Podcast. Leo covers everything from Marvel blockbusters to indie films in smart, fun-sized episodes that are each about ten minutes long. Jampacked with information, The Qwipster Film Review is nevertheless filled with thoughtful, quippy commentary just as its title suggests. These are perfect for your commute to work, or when you need something smart to say in the office kitchen.

10. Cinema Clash

Maryland-based film-critic Charlie Juhl and part-time reviewer and full-on fanatic Hannah Buchdal debate new releases in Cinema Clash. Often covering multiple films an episode, the podcast is an unedited, riotous conversation about the plusses and hazards of contemporary cinema. That both have vastly differing opinions – Juhl favors everything obscure and overlooked, while Buchdahl LOVES mainstream movies – makes for an exciting listen and rowdy debate.

The Best Movie Podcasts Of 2022 Ranked

Podcasts have been around since the early 2000s, but these days, they're more popular than ever before and have essentially phased out radio shows as the dominant way to entertain and reach a wider audience of listeners (with some of the old guard radio personalities, like Howard Stern, getting his own podcast as well ). And it makes sense, as the internet allows for many different types of people to get their voices out there, due to the relatively low cost of entry, as well as many more avenues for cheap – or even free – distribution, which wasn't the case in the days of radio decades earlier. This allows for more diverse and niche communities to have their own shows, which helps democratize the space.

This includes the advent of film-centric podcast shows. Not that movie-specific radio shows didn't exist prior to this, but the aforementioned relative ease of users being able to create and distribute their own podcasts on various platforms allows for a vast array of film content – and types of voices – to be heard on the internet. Whether it's a show about a singular film franchise, one discussing an artist's entire body of work, or a podcast simply about people watching bad movies for the heck of it, there's a little something for everybody.

So what are some of the best movie podcasts to come out in 2022? Let's find out.

You Must Remember This

The entertainment industry is full of many untold – or long-forgotten – stories, trends, and behind-the-scenes drama that is, well, worth remembering. And that's where the aptly-titled "You Must Remember This" podcast, hosted by film critic and author Karina Longworth, comes in. What's great about "You Must Remember This" is that much of film history – like any history – tends to get easily forgotten or gets consumed by legend and conjecture. The podcast reminds its listeners how important it is to always be diligent about the truth, even if it's upsetting, absurd, or both. This includes stories like the unsung Hollywood heroine Polly Platt , our fascination with dead blonde celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, and secret history MGM Studios – among many others.

Overall, "You Must Remember This" is well-researched, with tons of sources listed in a tidy bibliography in the description of every episode. Ultimately, this podcast is a must-listen for those interested in history, film, and the intersection of sociological, anthropology, and politics. To add to that, Longworth is a great host who's able to make these often convoluted and complicated legacies pop with energy and enthusiasm. In 2022, she embarked on the history erotic thrillers from the ' 80s and dives into the origins of the trend, why they ultimately died out, and what influences they still have on pop culture today.

Black Men Can't Jump (in Hollywood)

Despite an increase of diverse representation in Hollywood productions recently, it's still not nearly enough, especially when compared to the number of roles given to white actors, particularly in lead roles (via statista ). Luckily, the podcast "Black Men Can't Jump (in Hollywood)" discusses Hollywood films through the lens of black-led films throughout film history. The podcast, which debuted in 2015, is hosted by the charismatic and hilarious Jonathan Braylock, Jerah Milligan, and James III – all actors, writers, and producers in the industry, best known for Netflix's sketch comedy show "Astronomy Club," though their individual credits also include "Grown-ish," "Broad City," and "Big Mouth" – on top of many, many more.

This crew takes a much needed microscope to Hollywood's spotty – to say the least – efforts at diverse representation, especially for Black leads in film. Also, being in the entertainment industry themselves, the hosts are able to look at the films through other angles as well, such as the intersection of specific genre trends, outside politics, and entrenched systemic biases in films and the culture at large. But, despite the sometimes dire and serious topics raised in the podcast – due, again, to Hollywood's troubled history with Black representation on film – the show is nonetheless able to be a delightfully fun listen as well. The hosts all have great, friendly chemistry with each other, and are able to make the topics light and comedic, on top of being informative.

There are tons of nerd-centric film podcasts on the internet, which discuss and analyze in detail the various nuances and idiosyncrasies of franchises like "Star Wars," "The Lord of the Rings," the Marvel Cinematic Universe, etc. However, most of them are from longtime, die hard fans who passionately (and often loudly) rant about weird continuity errors, obscure trivia, or why the franchises aren't as cool as they used to be. This is why "Newcomers" is so refreshing. It began with comedians Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus watching the original "Star Wars" trilogy from the perspective of people who never grew up with it or had nostalgia for it. This allowed for them to have a unique perspective on the pacing, story, and characters, as opposed to how fans steeped for decades in lore would.

They then moved on to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Fast and Furious" films, and lately going through the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As always, hosts Byers and Lapkus bring new – and often hilarious – ways of thinking about these sometimes over-discussed franchises, which gives their analysis a fresh feel. It also helps when they bring on more knowledgeable guests, such as uber-nerd comedian Patton Oswalt or the opinionated Jon Gabrus, who can provide humorous contrast – or even have their opinions changed, or at least challenged, by either Byer and Lapkus in the process.

Unclear and Present Danger

It's pretty clear that we're in a pretty dire time, politically, right now — but if you look back at the 1990s (the time between the Cold War and 9/11, to be specific), it's actually a fascinating, and pivotal time period in American politics that's rarely discussed in-depth. That's where the podcast "Unclear and Present Danger," hosted by Jamelle Bouie (columnist for the New York Times) and John Ganz, comes in. The podcast covers political thriller films from the '90's – a type of film that's a bit out of vogue now, but was much more prevalent back then – to get some insight on the political atmosphere of the time. In fact, "Unclear and Present Danger" is a play on the 1994 Harrison Ford thriller "Clear and Present Danger." Meanwhile, Bouie and Ganz analyze what the films of the time were afraid of, what morals they prioritized, and what messages they were sending with the politics of their narratives.

The two hosts are very knowledgeable about politics and entertainment, and the podcast benefits from how they can authoritatively discuss the intersection of both at the time. "Unclear and Present Danger" is also often very funny, especially when they have to deal with the mediocre action thrillers of Steven Seagal like "Under Seige."

They Made Another One?!

It's no secret that most of the movies that get greenlit these days is based on some sort of pre-existing intellectual property. Whether it's unnecessary sequels, barely-related TV series adaptations, or unwanted remakes, you can find out it probably exists out there somewhere if a movie makes enough of a profit ( and sometimes not even then ).

This subject gets a closer look on "They Made Another One?!," which is hosted by Corey Price (who also co-hosts the "Mortal Kombat"-related " MK Podquest " and the F1 podcast series " Strat 2 ") alongside his two friends Liam and Mitch. On the podcast they all hilariously discuss, analyze, and skewer the various aforementioned tangentially-related pop culture artifacts. This includes episodes on 2016's " Punk's Dead: SLC Punk 2 ," 1993's "Maniac Cop III: Badge of Silence," and the 2001 "Metropolis" anime adaptation. Furthermore, beyond helping listeners with obscure trivia about films they probably didn't know even existed, the podcast is just really fun to listen to. The hosts are all long-time friends with laid back vibes, gut-busting recurring bits, and a deep, abiding, and infectious love of film.

Crew Expendable

There have been many podcasts over the years that cover entire movie franchises, from "Star Wars Minute" to "The Worst Idea Ever," and so on. However, one of the more recent – and extremely hilarious – film podcasts in that vein to pop up and grab our attention like a Xenopmorph face-hugger is "Crew Expendable," based on the "Alien" franchise. In fact, "crew expendable" refers to what the Weyland-Yutani corporation designates the members of the USCSS Nostromo in the first "Alien" film.

"Crew Expendable" is hosted by two self-proclaimed "xenodorks," Neal Hallstrom (who also co-hosts "MK Podquest" with Corey Price from "They Made Another One?!") and Kenny Rohrbacher. The podcast itself chronicles the entire "Alien" film franchise, as well as all the accoutrements that have since emerged from it. This is because the podcast covers not only every single film in the franchise, but also the comics, video games, crossovers, DVD bonuses (like those weird, young Peter Weyland TedTalks from "Prometheus"), and everything in-between. The podcast is basically tailor-made for fans of all things "Alien." And, like a lot of the podcasts on this list, it is mainly the chemistry between the hosts that is the main draw, with Neal's laid-back, hilariously dry energy contrasting well with Kenny's odd vocal rhythms and even odder takes .

Best Movies Never Made

There are so many unmade movies in Hollywood, with only a fraction of them being produced when compared to how many start development. This is because so much has to go right for a film to get finished, while conversely it is so easy for it all to go wrong on the way from the first pitch, to the initial greenlight, to production, to even the distribution (just look at "Batgirl," which won't see the light of day despite being completed ). Often, these failed projects go unsung and forgotten, or rumors and conjecture end up turning this unmade projects into legend – justifiably or not.

Luckily for cinephiles, there's the podcast "Best Movies Never Made," hosted by screenwriter Josh Miller (who wrote the scripts for the two "Sonic the Hedgehog" films and the holiday action film "Violent Night") and researcher Stephen Scarlata, who produced the great documentary "Jodorosky's Dune." The two hosts then go through and discuss all the biggest unmade projects, and finding out what happened to them through thorough research as well as recapping the scripts and even interviewing the writers behind some of the projects. Beyond the in-depth research, hosts Miller and Scarlata also have a great, easy-going vibe that makes the production histories entertaining to listen to, as well as being informative.

Blank Check

In Hollywood, the term "blank check" refers to when a filmmaker has had a massive financial or critical success and are then offered the opportunity to pursue their passion project – which can either clear (become a success) or bounce (flop). The term itself is defined as "an unlimited amount of money, or the freedom to do anything," via the Cambridge Dictionary . This, of course, is not to be confused with the 1994 family comedy film "Blank Check," starring Brian Bosnall and written by screenwriting guru Blake Snyder of "Save the Cat" fame.

"Blank Check" is also the name of the popular comedy podcast hosted by two friends, Griffin Newman ("The Tick") and The Atlantic film critic David Sims. The podcast, originally a "Serial"-type deep dive on the "Star Wars" prequels, has since evolved into talking about the various aforementioned "blank checks" from famous filmmakers. These include episodes on George Lucas, the Wachowski sisters, Steven Spielberg, and the works of Henry Selick. Even better, the podcast has also gone out of its way to spotlight more diverse voices, like Gina Prince-Bythewood, Jane Campion, John Singleton, and Nora Ephron. The constant hilarious banter between the two hosts, the barrage of extremely nerdy deep-dive trivia, and the earnest love of films and the magic of storytelling they celebrate makes the podcast a must-listen for any true film fans. Well, any true film fans who can handle two-plus hours discussing movies like "Space Jam."

The Flophouse

"The Flophouse" is a "bad" movie podcast co-hosted by ex-"Daily Show" and "Mystery Science Theater 3000" head writer Elliot Kalan, current "Daily Show" writer and Kalan's former co-worker Dan McCoy, and their cool friend and bar owner, Stuart Wellington. Together they skewer bad movies that flopped (sometimes only critically, as on occasion the films they cover happen to be box-office successes), while also spending just as much time – if not more – on hilarious and off-topic comedy bits.

The Flophouse stands above other "bad" film podcasts thanks to rapid fire jokes and the great, sincere camaraderie among the three hosts. They each have their own distinct and defined personalities, with Dan as the dry-witted straight man and host of the group, Elliot Kalan as the rapid-fire motormouth, and Stuart as the laid back cool guy of the group (and arguably the funniest, despite not writing for famous comedy shows). Regardless, while the personalities and friendship between the three hosts are the obvious main draw of the podcast, there are also some great aforementioned comedy bits throughout as well.

God Awful Movies

There's been a rise in overtly Christian faith-based films lately, and the podcast "God Awful Movies" chronicles and justifiably ridicules them. The "God Awful Movies" podcast began as an off-shoot of "The Scathing Atheist" podcast, hosted by Noah Lugeons, Heath Enwright, and Eli Bosnick, who also return for "God Awful Movies." It was inspired by the Cracked article " 6 Pro-Christian Films That Made Christians Look Like Jerks ," written by Madeline Maye (credited as Matt Fazio), Adam Koski, and Tara Marie, which featured the insane low-budget "what if Jesus existed in modern times" film "Miracle Man" that ended up inspiring the pilot episode of "God Awful."

What makes "God Awful" movies such a great podcast is the hosts' unrelenting and hilarious take downs of these films. Not only are these films often incompetent on simply technical levels (shoddy camera work, barely audible audio, little-to-no-extras, etc.), but they also just as often have insidious messages in them as well. To be clear, this is not an indictment on religion in general, but rather the regularly regressive (i.e. racist, homophobic, and misogynistic) politics of films that are specifically marketed for a solely faith-based audience, which the "GAM" crew absolutely skewer.

These Are the Best Podcast Apps to Use in 2024

I t's official: Google has shut down Google Podcasts as of April 2, 2024, adding the app to the pile of dead Google services, and leaving many Android users without their podcatcher of choice. And iOS users don't have it much better. While Apple Podcasts has improved a bit of late, particularly with the launch of automatic transcripts in iOS 17.4 , it has never really recovered from the disastrous overhaul it got back in 2021 .

Thankfully, podcasts are still hugely popular, and, there are more top-tier podcast managers on Android and iOS than ever before. Keep reading to discover your best option to manage podcasts on your mobile devices—and consider a few backup suggestions if you're seeking a more novel podcast app experience.

Pocket Casts is the podcast app to beat

Platforms: Free on iOS and Android; Plus Subscription ($40/year) or Premium Subscription ($100/year) on iOS, Apple Watch, Android, Mac, Windows, and the web.

Pocket Casts brings together almost every useful feature found across pretty much every other podcast manager out there, plus plenty that are unique. The app also delivers them via a slick interface that’s easy to use—and best of all, it’s free (though paying for a membership does get you some extra perks).

A few of the standout features include audio enhancement options: The built-in “volume boost” makes it easier to hear people’s voices while reducing background music or noise; “trim silences” cuts out long pauses; and you can adjust the playback speed anywhere from 0.5x to 3x (and doing so does not affect voice pitch).

Pocket Casts users can sync their subscriptions and playback position across multiple devices, and the app features robust options for finding new podcasts (including the ability to search by episode), so you can find all the podcasts that have talked about a specific topic, and view your listening history. You can also play third-party media files stored on your device and set sleep timers that will pause your podcast when you’re listening before bed.

While the free version is packed with features, it isn’t perfect. For instance, the playlist and filter options could be more robust. You can queue up a playlist on a whim, or filter your podcast subscriptions and list of downloaded episodes using a small selection of preset categories, but you cannot sort your subscriptions by topic or create your own self-updating playlists. Given how many features Pocket Casts packs in, it seems odd that it lacks this kind of customization.

Despite that nagging issue, I like how Pocket Casts looks and feels. Not only does the app cover all the basics, but it also has a few customizable gesture options (such as setting a left-swipe to archive episodes), and even a dark theme.

The free version of Pocket Casts is available on Android and iOS and includes all of the features I’ve discussed thus far, but there’s also a premium Pocket Casts Plus option if you want access to more features and wider device support. For $40 annually, Plus subscribers get access to the Mac, Windows, web, and standalone Apple Watch versions of Pocket Casts, plus 20GBs of cloud storage that can be accessed across all your connected devices. If you really love the app, you can also sign up for a Patron membership ($100/year) that ups your cloud storage and gives you early access to new features.

The best of the rest

While PocketCasts remains my go-to recommendation for both Android and iOS, I've curated a handful of alternatives that deserve recognition for their reliability and features in case PocketCasts doesn't suit your needs. I've included both Android and iOS apps, though some are only available on one platform.

Procast (Android/iOS)

Procast is a great choice if you like to tweet or share your thoughts about your favorite shows. A built-in clip feature lets you snip a bit of a podcast to supplement a tweet or text. It also has a neat “swipe to your inbox” feature that lets you add episodes to your queue with a simple swipe. Procast is a solid choice for iOS and Android users .

Overcast (iOS)

Overcast is an iOS-exclusive app packing tons of features, including support for Apple Watch. You get playback controls like adjustable playback speeds, audio boost, and automatic silence trimming, and the app automatically holds your place when you stop listening partway through. Overcast also lets you create custom playlists in a couple of taps or listen to every podcast you’ve downloaded in a continuous stream. There are also welcome quality-of-life options like the ability to add Siri Shortcuts and customize your headphone, remote, and car dashboard controls. The main downsides are its meager discoverability for new shows, and the free version is ad-supported, but you can pay $10/year to remove them and unlock other features like side-loading audio files saved on your iPhone. You can download Overcast on the iOS App Store .

Podcast Addict (Android)

Podcast Addict is a free Android app packed with handy features like customizable playlists and adjusting unique listening settings per podcast. You can also tag your favorite shows with listening priority and even rate and review series in the app, much like you can with Apple Podcasts. Along with the millions of podcasts available in the app, Podcast Addict also features over 120,000 radio stations and over 20,000 audiobooks. It also supports Android Auto and Chromecast. The free version displays ads (just a simple banner ad across certain screens), while the premium version costs $.99 per month or $9.99 per year, and grants extra features like a playlist widget and additional app themes. You can download Podcast Addict on the Google Play Store .
