While I’ve been a film fan for my entire life, including studying film with Jeanine Basinger in the 1970s, I’d never thought of them in the context of the year in which they were released, the other films released in the same year, what was going on in the world in that year, and the films that...Read full review »

After Jason Bailey’s fantastic Fun City Cinema podcast wrapped, I wondered how he and Mike would pivot. What I love about this pod is the exposure to a variety of cinephiles who lead me to the missed gems in my film education.

Love the presenters, love the guests, love the years.

Most of the guests I’ve heard seem to barely know their cinematic year outside of the 5 movies they picked. I get frustrated listening to people be like “haven’t seen it” ten times an episode. When I know the year better than the guest it makes for a bad listen. The hosts are great though.

I like the concept and structure for discussing a range of movies! Some of the political context for those movies...let’s just say Soviet Cinema might be a blind spot here. Skip fifteen minutes in and you’re gold.

As a huge cinephile but someone without the time or bandwidth to see every movie I love to learn about some movies I haven’t seen and hear discussion about great movies I have seen. Also…..”In the year 2000…..in the year 2000!!”

Casual, insightful and fun. Also great to use for movie recommendations.

What a great concept for a podcast and as an added bonus the hosts and guests are a freaking delight! Always look forward to listening to a new episode!

While the guests discuss movies from the chosen year that have stood the test of time, the other segments help place the context with the award winners and top box office hits. Good way to understand trends.

I’m always on the lookout for new movies to watch. This podcast doesn’t do the boring ‘top 10’ by the numbers ranking. Instead they bring a guest on and chat about the movies that that has an impact on the guest. So you get a slice of cinema that’s a rare treat. Love it!

Such a great idea and just as well executed! I love all the guests and hearing thoughtful discussions on movies I know or never heard of. Lightning round rules!

This is a great concept for a podcast. I greatly enjoy hearing each guest break down their favorite films from their favorite year. The only complaint I have is that I wish it were longer and they could spend more time talking about each of their picks.

Fun, informative and interesting. A great pod with great guests.

This show focuses on all the movies that came out in one year, including a guest top 5, award and box office, other faves. It’s a cool way to think about movies and what was popular at the time, also what else was happening in the world that impacted film. Good show, very cool idea.
