“I have listened and listened again to the great episodes in this podcast. Steven Benedict not only informs you but he uses a very immersive structure to give you an insight into the filmmakers mind, inspire, and leave you thinking about what you just heard. A must!”

“Really informative and well written essays and a nice varied selection of films for discussion. One minor critique is that Mr. Benedict has a tendency to spend time listing examples rather than actually discussing the film at hand. So, for example, he will mention a genre or national cinema and...”Read full review »

“This is a wonderful podcast if you’re interested in movies or are a serious film fan. Each episode dives right into the reason why Steven Benedict thinks this movie is special. His thoughts are very insightful and I love his references to other movies and where the filmmaker fits in in the...”Read full review »

“Steven Benedict’s podcasts are terrific.
I frequently plagiarise his opinions when I’m drunk.
Sadly, I can think of no higher compliment this morning.”

“This is by far my favorite film podcast. I teach a high school screen studies course and often find myself coming to Steven Benedict’s material for history, perspective, and criticism on topics/films I haven’t studied in a while. Well-articulated, concise, varied, and persuasive, Benedict’s...”Read full review »

“Wow. Never heard of this guy before. He's the best film school teacher and best critic rolled into one.
Sample any episode representing any favorite movie that he's done here. You'll learn many new things. You'll look at films differently. I only wish there were more. ...”Read full review »

“These are wonderfully written and read in depth essays on classic films. Benedict stands well back from the films he talks about and sees their relevance to their own art form but he goes wider and describes the cultural and historical settings of these well known movies.
His podcasts on...”Read full review »

Rather, his objective is to concentrate on one or two themes from the movie and go into detail on how the filmmakers were able to...”Read full review »
