The best podcasts about Movies & film production & reviews

Movies are my main passion and podcasts come a very close second. Mostly I listen to podcasts about film production and analysis. The first movie that I remember seeing is A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when I was around 4 years old. Now, I was not supposed to be watching this, in fact I was meant to be asleep. Little did my parents know that I had angled the duvet cover so that they could not see my face and watched the movie. I think that event helped spark a lifelong interest in movies. Generally speaking, for the next decade, it would be my Nan that helped cement my interest into an obsession and the main VHS collection lived at her house. All these years later I am now working in the film industry and get to see what goes on behind the scenes. This gives me insight on productions schedules, budgets, scripts techniques and equipment used to make a feature. And as a fan, I am still watching an average of more than 1 movie a day year on year and a keen purchaser of physical media. Before we met, my partner and I had our own movie podcasts so between us, we had quite a few years of podcasting experience under our belt. So it felt like it would have been rude not to start our own movie podcast.

Each week we watch and review a movie based on the theme for that season. For example, our first season was cops so we covered 8 cop films. We generally talk for around an hour for each feature and draw upon our experience watching and analysing movies and having a bit of fun talking about them. We generally combine a mixture of thoughtful analysis, trivia and comedy when talking about the film we’ve chosen and

My playlist is purely based on podcasts about movies. I like to listen to episodes of around an hour plus as I like to explore films in detail. Both in terms of the reviewers experience and any related production stories and trivia.
