Amid the relentless wave of negativity surrounding movies these days, this podcast shines as a beacon of positivity and genuine passion for cinema. Alexei curates an impressive lineup of guests who share heartfelt reflections on their love for film, both new and nostalgic. Beyond the engaging discussions, Alexei’s thoughtful recommendations have introduced me to an array of interesting films I might never have discovered otherwise.

New release: Challengers

Weeklies: Blade Runner 2049 and Suspiria (2018)

If you love movies and you miss browsing the shelves of your local video store, then this is the podcast for you. You come for Alexei’s movie knowledge and quick wit, but you stay for the top tier staff pick recommendations. You will laugh and, dare I say, you might even cry from time to time. Are you crying from laughter or emotional resonance? Who Knows? Only you can say. If you want an episode to start with, might I suggest the Mates Rates episode in which the word “minions” becomes the funniest word I’ve ever heard.

P.S. Shoutout Scamper the Penguin from the Michael Angelo Covino episode. I watched that on repeat as a kid and it’s seldom spoken of.

New Release: Twinless by James Sweeney or Friendship by Andrew DeYoung
Weekly: Columbus by Kogonada
Weekly: Take Shelter by Jeff Nichols

To call Alexei the Australian equivalent of Patton Oswalt is an understatement- equally funny and charming, but our friendly neighbourhood video store clerk might just beat him out for a god-level encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema. Gregg Turkington could learn a thing or two from him, as well!

So glad I finally got round the listening to this podcast, it’s now become my happy place. Brings back happy memories of visiting Jerry’s Video on West Hill in Portishead, UK as a kid. Listening from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA and loving the array of Australia’s finest guests!

The best bit? As someone who likes to think my film knowledge is pretty extensive, I love discovering all kinds of new films I’ve never heard of!

If you love cinema, this is THE podcast for you!

Would be fascinated to get a staff pick based on my combo:

New Release: One of Them Days

Weekly: Welcome To Woop Woop

Weekly: Eternity and a Day

Alexei is the smartest cinephile that doesn’t talk down to people. Incredible show with amazing guests and insights. All brought together with truly inspired picks. I’ve watched at least 1 movie from every episode and it’s a real treat.

Alexei, brother, if you have a pick I’ll not rent but buy it from your fine store.
