“This podcast has been a constant listen for me for years. However, the constant bashing of any ideas center or right of center has become a huge turnoff. We all understand you guys are lefties, and we understand art film is a bit liberal most of the time, but y’all would do well to remember that...”Read full review »

“Excellent podcast filled with news, rumors, and insight into the Criterion Collection, as well as in depth conversation about specific titles, directors, and genres. Really has begun to feel indispensable as a Criterion collector, but also as a general film enthusiast as they often go beyond and...”Read full review »

“I always want the cinema podcasts to be interesting, I just don’t understand how it never seems to pan out.
If you’re going to divulge “something you probably don’t already know,” I’d expect to hear something other than a snippet of the Wikipedia article on Wild Strawberries. There’s a lot to...”Read full review »

“I'm a huge film buff, and I tried to give this a chance. I've listened to maybe twenty different podcasts by them. I don't want to hurt feelings, but here's my problem: most of the discussion revolves around one person mentioning a film, and four people mentioning they have yet to see that...”Read full review »

“I have become a true film buff and Criterion Collection fanatic in the last five years. Therefore I listen when I can to a number of film and cinema podcasts and I would say 80 to 90% of them are done by people who get together informally and do it on a lark. One has to wade through endless...”Read full review »

“Even if you're not a Criterion Collection disciple, the podcasts that appear on the Master Audio Feed (Criterion Cast, Eclipse Viewer, Off the Shelf, etc.) are informative, pleasant, and accessible. Very likeable hosts guide us through the world of niche (and not-so-niche sometimes) home video -...”Read full review »

“The Criterion Cast is a joy to listen to, plain and simple. The various offshoots of the main show offer a plethora of diverse listening options ("Off the Shelf," for instance, looks at home video in general), and the variety of opinions expressed rarely veers into self-serving snobbery. Highly...”Read full review »

“Even though I'm usually super excited to see a familiar film enter the CC, one of the best parts of being a criterion nerd is discovering great classic film for the
first time. So since it can be time consuming to research an unfamiliar title, it's a relief to know that I can rely on the...”Read full review »

There have been times where the panel takes up to 40 minutes of chit-chatting before they get to the film at hand. Sometimes a 90 minute discussion is too...”Read full review »
