I used to listen to "f this movie" back in the day and its still going!

A pretty good movie review/discussion podcast and they typically cover a wide range of movies from horror to action to art house/whatever and the hosts have really good chemistry with one another.

Well it's the main host and then a different co host every week on like like a roster system but I really enjoyed it from what I remember.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Seconding this recommendation, Sasso is incredible and I’m constantly losing it at his impressions. Favorites so far are Stone Cold & Sandler.

There's a lot of good Stone Cold Will Sasso in the post-Chris D'elia Ten Minute Podcast if you want that.

Anybody know of some good movie podcasts? Either reviewing newer releases, older, or just about film in general. Just something good.

I've been listening to We Hate Movies recently and it's funny but a lot of their episodes I'm just not interested in because I'll never watch the bad movies they're discussing. Also been listening a bit to Blank Check which I don't like because I think the hosts are irritating, but the format is something I'd be into if I liked the hosts better.

I know I can just search 'movie podcast' and get a bunch of stuff but it's mostly bland, and I'm guessing there are a handful of movie podcasts with actual fans.

The thing I've discovered about movie podcasts is that they are actually pretty personal as to what someone will like compared to others.

My favorite is Baseless Speculation, which is a show where a bunch of New Zealand comics talk about pop culture movies; they say some really stupid poo poo, which, I like. They do occasionally enjoy movies which is something that was missing from other comedy movie podcasts.

I like The Film Vault. I personally skip the top 5 shows most of the time, but I find the other episodes to be very helpful for keeping up with current movies (it was more helpful when I went to the movies every week pre-covid).

I've been listening to The Big Picture lately, it's a movie conversation show that's usually focused on a current release and then uses that to springboard into a longer conversation, e.g. The Glass Onion plus our favorite puzzle movies of all time. Not a comedy podcast but the vibe is very casual.

Anyone have a recommendation for a podcast where each episode is just a medium dive into a random interesting thing? All my podcasts are fairly specialized so I was hoping to expand my horizons.

I realize there must be many such podcasts, so I’d prefer it to be lighter in subject matters (although not necessarily comedic) and around 1 hr or less in length.

Edit: the closest podcast like that that I currently listen to is Odd Lots, but that’s fairly focused on business and economics.

Ok, I looked into this and saw that the very first thing they covered was Freakonomics (the quintessential garbage popular book IMO), and also that it’s another Michael Hobbes podcast. Thanks for the recommendation. :buddy:

Subbed! Two pods I like (Sustainababble and Wrestling 20 Years Ago) are stopping so this'll fill a gap. Devastated about Sustainababble, there's nothing really like it and I'm always keen to hear what the hosts had to say about whatever environmenty/climaty thing is in the news but they feel it's time so that's fair.


I'm a Duckfeed patron now and I'm really enjoying the Watch Out for Fireballs back catalogue, it's just so much better than any other games club podcast but Cane and Rinse, which it's somewhat better than imo. I especially like that Gary seems to have similar taste in games to me but a very different outlook on life, which came across most in the Outer Wilds episode. It's cool to use games as a springboard to talk about big things instead of getting no deeper than 'this fight was annoying' or 'this weapon is cool' like most podcasts. It makes me want to try Dark Souls again just so I can listen to Bonfireside Chat. I'll stick with playing Max Payne just to listen to that episode for now.

A few months ago a discovered Junk Food Cinema, and my thought was "wow this is exactly what I've been looking for - I like Cargill, and the other guy is a little annoying but I can put up with that"

10-15 episodes later, and my opinion has changed to "wow this is exactly what I've been looking for - I like Cargill but I can't loving stand the other guy and he makes me want to jab pencils in my ears"

If you've listened to the podcast you'll know what I mean - the other guy REALLY sucks and is annoying. The last straw was in the episode I just listened to on The Running Man where he made a big deal about a "plot hole" that was once again the result of him not understanding something that was made very clear in the movie.

ANYWAY - does anyone have any recommendations on other podcasts like this? Deep dives on 80's and 90's movies that aren't always great but we love them anyway. I've listened to How Did This Get Made and it was close but not exactly what I was looking for. Also tried No Such Thing as A Bad Movie and hated the hosts (this is a problem i have with lots of podcasts apparently).

The thing I like about Junkfood Cinema is that the hosts (well Cargill anyway) genuinely love the movies being reviewed, even if they aren't strictly "good movies". A lot of podcasts I've looked at seem to focus on the hosts just tearing the movies to shreds, which doesn't really appeal to me.

Watch Out for Fireballs (hosted by goons) is one of my favorites, they’ve covered tons of 90s games for all sorts of systems. Would recommend poking around their back catalog for favorites, their eps on Fallout are excellent, they’ve also covered lots of adventure games.

Oh man that’s no fun, it’s frustrating when a show has a great premise and one excellent host but they decided to pick an inappropriate cohost. I’ve heard one where the host was a professor in the field of the podcast and sounded great, then their cohost cut in with non-stop filler words such as “like, uh, um…” followed by long pauses. I understand being nervous on air but holy cow stop and do another take, or sign up for Toastmasters they helped me with that. I tried to keep listening but it didn’t get better.

That running man thing sounds bad, I abandoned a show I was already getting annoyed with when they discussed Unforgiven and kicked it off with a rant about a plot point they completely missed.

It’s a little different from what you’re looking for but maybe check out Unclear and Present Danger. It looks at 80s and 90s “Dad” movies. It’s interesting and funny.

Agreed it’s a fun show, might tip that into 5% game 95% goofs, especially when they can’t get some weird UK game to run and discuss Kole’s unlucky choice in plumbers resulting in a sewage disaster, or when a car ran into Gary’s house.

Light, funny, usually built on the premise of a podcast from a strange situation? You're looking for E1.

They don't have a website but they are on soundcloud so you can listen to them from your pc there. They are American but not coastal America, I think they're in Michigan or Ohio or something.

Here are some of their most strange situation based episodes

The cabin recording of a cruise ship that has been charted to take thousands of elderly talk radio listeners off the the edge of the flat earth

People talking about their lives in the dump, which is a kind of fantasy realm made of garbage
https://soundcloud.com/episode-one-868768631/239-live-from-the-dump

basically cash cab but in an uber and the customers are increasingly distracted by bizarre happenings going on outside.

For movies, The Empire Film Podcast is very good. Film journalists, very fun to listen to, been going for years

I've also been listening to Knowledge Fight lately which is a fascinating dive into Alex Jones insanity. The dozen or so deposition episodes around Sandy Hook are insane. These two are now considered such experts in Jones that one of them was retained by the family's lawyers as part of the court actions

They also get into the lunacy of Project Camelot where people discuss how they are part alien etc and the secret space force
