These guys really deliver the goods with the best film podcast out there, been listening to them for years! Supremely entertaining and informative deep dives into great films, film history, filmmakers, and genres. I always learn so much more about some of my favorite films and also on new discoveries of hidden treasures discussed. I can always tell Brandon, Thomas, and David’s passion for film as fellow movie buffs with an insider’s knowledge of the film industry that consistently adds to one terrific episode after another! Treat yourself to even further deep dives with their excellent patreon episodes!

Samlind88 · Mar 2024

I have never written a podcast review before, but felt compelled to do so here because this podcast is incredibly well-informed, intelligent, well-researched, entertaining, and discusses a wide array of films from different time periods and genres. However, Thomas (I think it’s Thomas) - and I say this respectfully - has a very annoying verbal tic of saying “is the thing” after almost every sentence, it feels like. This really gets in the way of my enjoyment of the show (and maybe that says more about me than about anyone else). For whatever my opinion is worth, I think this would be a 5-star podcast without “is the thing” plaguing every episode. I will continue to listen, I just have to split the episodes up across several days because whenever I reach my limit of “is the thing” I turn it off. My review is well-intentioned and left in the hopes of being received as equal parts praise and constructive feedback.

Very engaging and very knowledgeable hosts. I especially like when they dig deeper into the technical aspects (production design, shot framing, etc). One observation is when they “recast” movies they don’t usually consider actors of color for parts that had been played by white actors before and vice versa. Just think more broadly. Great pod. Keep them coming

NONEEE · Sep 2023

I absolutely loved listening to all of the Cinenation’s vast collection of podcasts. Brandon and his other collaborators are full of movie knowledge, and truly make the movies come to life, for those who have seen the featured movies more than once to those who have never seen them before. Highly recommend Cinenation to others! You will laugh and even cry at the amazing, colorful, educated commentary!
