A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

So many gems shared in every episode. Grateful for the directors’ generosity in giving insight into their process + craft.

La Escuelita · Apr 2024

As an ardent cinephile, I can't express how fantastic this podcast is. Candid, intellectual and fun conversations between directors about their latest works. I heavily encourage everybody to check this podcast out and revel in all of its gems!

Mark78554 · Aug 2018

This is my favorite movie podcast. Having directors interview each other is so refreshing. That is what really separates this from other director interviews. I love to watch the movie first then listen to the episode. Keep it going!

Tdryer5 · Feb 2018

So far I’ve listened to interviews with PT Anderson, Greta Gerwig and Guillermo del Toro. Each one was as entertaining as it was inspiring. I highly recommend. You can’t regret it.

RKDY2K · Jan 2018

I absolutely love this podcast. Almost every episode is amazing. But the Darren Aaronofsky and William Friedkin episode seems so uncomfortable for Darren. William is direct and blunt I get that but I can’t stand the way he conducts interviews. I can’t imagine him on set talking to actors and krew members.
