MUBI Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is such an awesome mash-up of cinema history and cultural history. It's fantastic to hear from the people who made the movie and from scholars who can provide context. Rico Gagliano is such a smart, funny, and affable host. I miss him from his days on the Dinner Party Download. Good news is that this is just as fun and entertaining as that show (although with less talk about food!)

It’s just the right mix of informative and entertaining. Listening to it is a kind of vicarious travel—-and I am so craving travel. Plus, Rico is such a charming guide.

Rico Gagliano is a great producer, writer and narrator. Top notch production values, great voice and delivery with excellent interviews and sound mixing. Now I’m going to seek out the movies he’s discussing. Because that’s what a great podcast dies: it expands your mind while it entertains you. Hats off Rico!!!

This podcast has become my most anticipated listening experience week to week. A fun, efficient, and in-depth exploration of movies you love and movies you have never heard of, and all of it wrapped up in a perfect hit of storytelling that will make you want to hunt down all these films.

I listened to the first episode and really enjoyed it, but then I signed up for the service and... The movies aren't available. Why would you do this? I was so fascinated by the discussion of Turkish Delight and now I can't watch it on Mubi or, as far as I can tell, any other US-based streaming service. Then I searched for the movies the other episodes are reviewing. Nope. Maybe I'm just using the app wrong, but why would you make this podcast about movies that aren't available on your service?
