PODS WE RECOMMEND

Obviously, this one comes first, considering it was birthed from an episode of The Incinerator. Alums Sam Inglis and Jason Shawhan lovingly discuss the filmography of Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The pod that helped birth this one - the raddest ranking pod in the world. Hosted by Clay Keller and Ryan Marker, even Entertainment Weekly said they had the best taste in guests.

One of the OG film pods that still manages to produce the most engaging and relevant film criticism out there. Hosted by Adam Kempenaar and Josh Larsen, it's required listening.

A pod that knows what it does well and does it, consistently, with fantastic guests and retrospective insight. Hosted by Phil Iscove, they've just finished 1999 and are starting 1992,

From across the pond, alums Timothy Evans and Sam Inglis dive into their favorite actor, Ethan Hawke, one performance at a time. A great companion podcast with "Fearless Pretender".

Formerly Bloody Blunts Cinema Club, Specter is the same energetic discussions between alums Devaughn Taylor and Garrett McDowell and a cadre of guests from all walks of the internet.

Alonso Duralde and Christy Lemire's podcasting relationship goes back many years and iterations. Breakfast All Day is their latest, though I probably watch on YouTube more than I listen to the podcast.

The raddest pod on the Maximum Fun network, Maximum Film! finds hosts Drea Clark, Ify Nwadiwe, and Alonso Duralde, discussing films, news, and whatever else pops into their delightful heads.

There aren't enough 'trans, feminist, punk rock' podcasts out there, but hosts BJ and Harmony Colangelo take what could be just another movie discussion pod and turn it into something revitalizing.

When it comes to horror, no one knows horror pods better than Elric Kane and Dr. Rebekah McKendry. This pod is, essentially, a free horror education and an amazing way to discover hidden gems.

Each episode, host Jason Kleeberg is joined by a guest to rank their top five...well, whatever. Nothing is off limits. It's a simple premise, yes, but it continues to yield results for film fans everywhere.

One of the most elusive pods out there, since it only records when Timmy C. has a new project released. With his having multiple films hitting theatres in 2023, we can expect an avalanche of content.

This podcast has exploded thanks to an insightful host (Eric Peacock), amazing guests, and a simple premise - "Let's discuss a movie soundtrack." The result is anything but simple.

Robb Maynard, David French, and Ryan Luis Rodriguez welcome guests who are tasked with playing defense against a prosecution (the hosts) in regards to a film. It's an absolute blast.

No one knows cult movies better than Peaches Christ. Few people know horror better than Michael Varrati. Combine them and it's the best queer horror content out there, consistently delicious.

From The Hollywood Reporter, host Scott Feinberg interviews the biggest celebrities in the world being 'talked about' on the awards circuit and goes deeper than most hosts would dare.

It's the only 90's movie pod in the world. Or, if that's a stretch, it's definitely one of the better ones. Hosted by Jordan Courtney and Nicholas Loup, it's a blast from the fairly recent past.

Rest in peace. One of the all-time great movie geek podcasts, hosted by the fabulous Drew McWeeny and Scott Weinberg. It didn't go the distance, but what we got along the way was pure magic. 

From the fine folks at The Film Stage, Dan Mecca and Conor O'Donnell bring on guests to discuss the underseen films in a particular actor's filmography. It's a great way to discover some hidden gems.

The podcast dedicated to those films that were destined to be contenders...until people saw them. Hosted by Chris Feil and Joe Reid, it's here, it's queer, and it's entirely award-worthy.
