“I follow a couple dozen podcasts, most of which are about writing. Because time and life are short, I typically listen at about 40% accelerated playback. If podcasters don't get to the point, I get frustrated. Quickly. When I listened to the Blade Runner episode of Film School, it took Josh and Ira 15 minutes to finally get to the meat of the show. On pretty much any other podcast, I would have bailed at the 10-minute mark. But these two...
Josh and Ira are the most fun you can have listening to a podcast without being high. They're fun and original and quick-witted, and I would have been happy to let them ramble on forever. Thankfully, though, they didn't.
I've watched Blade Runner twice -- once in my 20s and once in my 40s. Both times, I was absolutely bored out of my mind, but I never wanted to share my thoughts, because Blade Runner is like The Gospel of Sci-Fi. Thou shalt not criticize, you cretin! Gorgeous, yes. Overflowing with themes and ideas, yes. But boooooring.
It wasn't just that Josh and Ira agreed with me. It was how they dissected WHY it was boring. What worked and what didn't. If you enjoy films and want to discuss them beyond the level of "that was pretty rad," then you will enjoy this podcast. It strikes just the right mix of intelligence and entertainment. Seriously, try it out.”Read full review »

“I went to film school and graduated right before the pandemic, meaning all my film contacts took their separate ways while we were living in the shutdown. Four years later, I’ve been dying to have film theory conversations with others who study the craft, and this is pretty much it. Granted, I’m...”Read full review »
