Shawn Filth · Sep 2025

First off, I love the podcast, you guys are great. But man I wish you would please say the name of the movie more than once. If you could end your review with the name, it would make me really happy. I listen in the car and write down the titles when I’m stopped. After 4-5 minutes, I need a reminder about which obscure 1930s film we are talking about. I’m old and dumb and I need that reminder! Also, if you could go a little more general on the synopsis, that would be cool. I love your recommendations, but more than once I watched a film you recommended and felt like I knew a little too much going in. But whatever, the show is great, I’m just splitting hairs. Keep it up!

Kane and Saur are very knowledgeable and their zeal for film really comes through the podcast. Kane and Saur have introduced me to so many films I would not have otherwise discovered. Thank you for what you do. You are a joy to listen to. I especially enjoyed your top 101 films list. Excellent work, boys! Keep up the good work. This podcast is a must listen for film lovers.

I work in a stressful healthcare job, and I listen to Pure Cinema on my commutes, and also while I'm working. I am a horror junkie, have been since I was very young. Found that while I enjoy horror (all the different sub-genres too), I was limiting myself to horror almost exclusively for the past few years. When I started listening to the podcast, I became interested in everything. I never really cared about film noir, pre code, dramas, westerns - but now I'm finding that not only am I interested in them, I'm buying so many more blu rays and 4ks of all types of movies now. Its so much fun hearing Elric and Brian talking about these movies and wanting to hunt these down to watch. All the guests on the show are great and I can't stop listening. Will be a Patreon supporter soon, they deserve it. I also live in NJ so it's difficult sometimes hearing all the cool stuff happening at the New Bev and the Vista theater. I want to visit LA for the theaters alone. I recommend this show to all my horror loving friends so they can discover these films that need to be seen. For some it's a hard sell because they listen to horror podcasts exclusively - but I know they will listen and find that there's a whole other world of cinema out there to enjoy. Thank You!!!!
