“I can’t quite begin to describe how wonderful this is - but maybe I should try - how to describe a whole world in one paragraph? These acute little film-review podcasts represent only a minute fragment of Joel Bocko’s vast yet intricate engagement with “the movies” ranging from a dazzling array of freely available content (via his “Lost in the Movies” site and You-Tube) to the treasure trove that glimmers beyond his (very modest) Patreon pay-wall. Joel speaks of these podcasts as the “tip of the iceberg” - I prefer a more positive metaphor - think of the entrance to Aladdin’s cave, the wardrobe door in the Narnia books, or perhaps the forest clearing in Glastonbury Grove that leads to “the red room”. That’s the kind of magical journey you’ll end up “lost in” if you choose to go beyond these bite-sized podcasts and subscribe to the Patreon content for as little as 1 dollar a month or check out Joel’s masterful video essays completely free of charge. I strongly advise subscribing. Your life “in (and outside) the movies”will never be the same again. I await each new episode of Joel’s Patreon podcast with the same sense of excitement I used to anticipate each new episode of “Twin Peaks” - when it was first aired 30 years ago - in the days when no-one knew who killed Laura Palmer. Joel is a accomplished writer, a rigorous researcher. He communicates with such clarity and yet with such ease and friendliness you start to imagine an old friend has dropped by to tell you all about their favourite movies, and is now sitting in your kitchen prompting you to see new meanings in old classics, or inspiring you to seek out undiscovered titles. Above all Joel is a GREAT storyteller. The stories he tells are about the movies - but they are also about life and death, love and loss, politics and power, art and poetry. Listen to the stories he tells. They will take you to “ a place both wonderful and strange”’”

“Joel Bocko is a mensch. He knows everything about TWIN PEAKS, a lot about film history, and he explores topics in a relaxed, friendly, and thoughtful manner.
I am a longtime subscriber of his Patreon. He always has some new insight or angle that I’m happy to hear about.”
