“I work in a stressful healthcare job, and I listen to Pure Cinema on my commutes, and also while I'm working.
I am a horror junkie, have been since I was very young. Found that while I enjoy horror (all the different sub-genres too), I was limiting myself to horror almost exclusively for the...”Read full review »

“Update: it would be fantastic if Elric stopped giving a synopsis of what happens in a movie before the New Bev shows it. Be more general, man. We don’t need to know the twists and turns that surprised you (ie Sparkler). 3.5 stars.
I really enjoy this pod and have found some fun movies because of...”Read full review »

“The characters and general story come from the Bruce Springsteen song Highway Patrolman of his 1982 masterpiece Nebraska. There is also the title track which tells the story of Charles Starkweather
Which inspired Badlands. Springsteen also has a song called Badlands. Anyways love the show.”

“The hosts go out of their way to warn the listeners of the dastardly politics of John Wayne and James Woods but rarely extend that concern towards any number of far left extremists in Hollywood past and present.
Younger listeners would do well to remember that the most left leaning actors in the...”Read full review »

“Finally - in my opinion a podcast to rival “Film Buffs Forecast” (but sadly gone to God now I think - the Brian Cox interview was just fantastic).
These two fellows are entertaining, articulate, extremely knowledgeable and ENTHUSIASTIC (think Tarantino dialled down to about a seven) about even...”Read full review »

“The over indulgence in Tarantino worship has caused this once very unique cinema podcast to lose it’s vision and voice. And the constant shilling for the New Bev (owned by QT) come on guys, not all of us live in LA. (That said- Tarantino was better here than on his own podcast)
Get back to “five...”Read full review »

“Amazing camaraderie of them all in every episode.
About ep 11- my friend called me:
“We’re going to a movie. We will pick you up in 5. Ware a black trench coat and black clothes. “
We saw the matrix. Talk about going in cold!”

“Those hosts really know their stuff. A bit too much Tarantino lately but that’s only because the sound of his voice irks me - more of a personal thing. But I like it when Brian and Elric invite others to talk about their love of film. Infectious!”

“5 stars for Elric and Brian. I could listen to their lists and recommendations all day long. I’m less interested in the the New Beverley connection, feel it adds a level of bias towards all things Tarantino - you’ll never here a negative word against this guys movies, particularly with Phil there...”Read full review »

The genuine passion for new deep dive discoveries mixed with highlighting and championing personal gems by Mr Kane and Mr Sauer is pure cinema GOLD!...”Read full review »

“There are a lot of podcasts where a couple of people talk movies. And they talk about Notorious, and it turns out one of them has never seen Notorious, so they watch it and talk about what a great discovery it was to finally see. Well, I’ve seen Notorious like 18 times, so I’m happy for young...”Read full review »

“The most wide-ranging discussions of films from pure movie lovers, courtesy of Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema in L.A. From the bottom-of-the-barrel cult trash to Bergman and Bresson. The only movie podcast whose Patreon is worth the extra content. I don’t even mind that the hosts—80s kids...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast if you are looking to find those “hidden gems” buried beneath the slushy avalanche of soulless, big budget hackjobs. This is not to say Brian and Elric are snobs. They are the opposite and never get personal or snide when discussing movies. They are affable dudes and...”Read full review »
