CRWN CINEMA Podcast

by CRWN Cinema

Just dudes that make movies, breaking down movies, live on a podcast. Hosted by Kade Harvey and Gray Pittman, they analyze and discuss the movies we all know and love to give the everyday viewer a deeper understanding of the artistry behind what makes them top tier. We tell behind the scenes stories you probably haven't heard. And we're two best friends making an excuse to hangout talking about movies. It's like inside baseball for movies. Thank you to Lane Hunt for "Working Like a Dog" as our show's theme song.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Honestly one of the first film pods where I don’t find the hosts grating. Just chill guys talking movies. Feels like your with friends—keep it up fellas

Love listening to these guys. They’re entertaining, insightful, and you can tell they genuinely love movies. They cover a lot of great films, especially The Passion of the Christ, and I learned so much from their breakdowns about behind the scenes, filmmaking details, and aspects of movies I never would’ve noticed on my own. I like how the help everyday viewers appreciate what goes into making great films without making it feel overly complicated.
