Filmspotting
In May 2018, near the end of my first year of law school, I searched for “movie podcasts” on Spotify. One of the first titles to pop up was a podcast about The Lord of the Rings, and since that is one of my favorite movie series, I decided to give it a listen. That was episode 681 of Filmspotting, and from then on, I was hooked. To quote Forrest Gump, “It’s funny what a man recollects”, and thinking back on the last 5 years of listening to Filmspotting, it’s funny how many memories I can connect to a specific episode of the show. Whether it was working my summer job mowing lawns and listening to Adam interview Bo Burnham about “Eighth Grade”, or going for a run through the desolate campus at the University of Nebraska in the early days of COVID while the guys gave out their Christopher Nolan Ouevre-view awards, Josh and Adam have become like friends I look forward to hearing from each week. Perhaps the thing I love most about the show is that they truly care about educating their listeners about the World of Cinema. It’s not just a recap of the latest big studio movies, but through their marathons and Sacred Cow reviews, it’s almost like taking a film studies class (thanks Professor Kempenaar). Before I started listening, I’d never heard of the likes of Paul Schrader or Jane Campion or seen any Terrence Malick movies, but thanks to Filmspotting, I’ve been exposed to so many classics and hidden gems I may never have been aware of without them. I’m thankful for all the top 5s, Madness brackets and hours of great discussion, and I’d recommend Filmspotting to anyone who loves movies. Dylan Dam in Blair, Nebraska

With witty and intelligent reviews, the 'Cinecast' guys dig into movies interestingly, at length, and devote much more attention to both new films and classics than big guns like Ebert and Roper. Though Ebert and Roper have their place (eagle's-eye view vs. Cinecast's in-depth...Read full review »
