The Filmcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

When I had my son I was told something that rang so true: No one tires out a little boy, like another little boy.
To spin that on people who work in Entertainment: No one loves talking film more than people who work in film.
I’m living proof. I’ve spent my career in Television and Film starting at age 18 and continue to put 10-15 hour days into my craft (currently directing a series on one of the services)… and I can’t get enough. I can’t get enough of listening to people who speak the language. Of people who evaluate the technical as well as the emotion. People who know what shot selection and scene transitions are. People who describe action on screen like waxing poetry… because it is…. It’s visual poetry.
I’ve come to count on you three gentlemen to do the heavy legwork my schedule doesn’t allow, and to parcel out the gems I’ll be searching up on the weekend. Your obvious friendship and affection for each other mirrors my group of friends and I love hearing your playful banter, and sometimes serious conversation, as much as the assessments of the day.
Just wanted to say thank you for your love of film and always bringing a smile to my face. :)

I’ve been listening to the Filmcast nearly every week since 2008. The chemistry of the hosts feels like a warm hug and I look so very forward to popping on the newest episode every Tuesday on my way home from work and let the world fade away. Honestly they are better than ASMR to my world weary ears each week (and not in a weird way). Thanks guys!!!!

I enjoy this show… don’t always agree with their reviews and that’s great because it opens my mind. The only negative is that they all feel the need to inject current political commentary into every episode. I agree with their slanted politics (90%) but do I need to hear people talking down to those who don’t follow their ideals? Every-time they bring up politics I feel like turning the podcast off. (I have a few times) I feel for the 60% of listeners who don’t agree with their politics, who are annoyed. This is a film review show… not a political discourse. Please stop the commentary… it’s very amateur. Lead by example! Don’t be the CNN or Fox News of film reviews shows… we come to your show to escape the media bias.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and have always meant to stop by and give a 5 Star Review. Well, here it is! 5 Stars! This is simply put, my favorite movie podcast and my favorite pop culture podcast. The guys have an excellent rapport and hilarious banter. Thank you for the years of entertainment.

I unsubscribed because, as many other recent reviews mention, the political content is smarmy and insufferable. Somehow themes of every single movie or show they review reflects “the recent election” or “the state of the country”. Truly groundbreaking observations. There are so many better film podcasts to listen to including those with left wing views such as Double Toasted.

I have listened to this podcast for years. I liked the intelligent discussions. I end up deleting many episodes now without listening as there is way too much discussion of superhero movies. I don’t understand why they have switched their focus.
