I’ve been listening back to the very first episodes and James is so thoughtful and asks perfect questions in service of the listener. I feel like I’m getting an education 👌

Thank you both for sharing with the Dallas community and for bringing Dallas Film Commission Tony & Andrew on as guests! So interesting to learn more about what states do differently and incentives. Great podcast 😺

I've been listening to the Team Deakins since their first release of the podcast. Every topic they talk about relates to the Guests work on and how they got to their current position. This is truly inspiring as it shows how these people, some from small towns or no relation to someone in the...Read full review »

James and Roger are at the top of their game in the film world and ask some of the most interesting questions as interviewers. Great insight into the magic of filmmaking and how expert craftspeople think, execute, and collaborate.

Everything in this is inspiring and informative!

This podcast could pretty much be the best film school you can have aside from watching films.
Lex Towers via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 03/21/23
A long & intimate conversation about life and, yes, light... A must for every film & life lover.

As an ex film major and makeup effects guy who is currently using my mid life crisis to go deep into stop motion animation, I happened upon this podcast and can’t believe how much of a game changer it has been for me. As a lifelong cinephile, I usually bore all within earshot as I wax on about...Read full review »

This podcast takes you inside the very beginning of the subject with the insight of Rodger & James. It’s just spot on with excellence all around. Hope to be a guest one day!

What a great discovery. Roger and James are so good at drawing out life stories, discussions of technique, and moments of humor, from a truly stellar parade of guests… Any lover of film or student of the craft will find this podcast an inspiring and wonderfully understated listen.

The world is a much worse place without the regularity of your thoughtful discourse.
Coren David William via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
You will learn a lot about not just the technical aspects of filmmaking but about the creative choices a cinematographer makes and the collaboration and inspiration behind so much great imagery. I would love to hear an entire podcast on Deakins speaking about THE WILD BUNCH - which I read his...Read full review »
Mr. Michael via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/22
Roger Deakins and his wife James interview other filmmakers in all positions, and they talk about how they got where they are and what the job entails. It should be essential listening for all film students and anyone working in the industry. The fact that all the interviewees know and trust...Read full review »

I learned a lot through your podcast. Hope to meet you in the future.
ChanjaSuk via Apple Podcasts · Vietnam · 11/16/21
This is one of the artistic highlights of the last 10 years for me. Really insightful meditations on cinema, art and collaboration. They manage to draw so much from the people they chat with.
Saintly68 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/02/21
I’m not taking you seriously if you’re a filmmaker or filmstudent and you’re not listing to this podcast.
VariTimo via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/25/21
Very interesting but can’t believe they haven’t har any colorists as guests?
Softjoy via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 10/20/21
I discovered this podcast a few months ago and have been devouring old episodes, as a film fanatic it just brings absolute joy to hear these masters discuss movies with as much passion and heart as I feel watching them. Please never end this show, it is wonderful.
Rezpeni2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/21
I’m not in the film industry, but I’m a lover of watching films with a deep appreciation for the technical aspects of filming and the experiences that are created. The conversations in each episode are accessible to those who don’t work in film. You will learn a lot about technical aspects while...Read full review »

Because of the constant “ Wow” from Roger Deacon’s wife I unsubscribed many months ago but today I wondered if Deacon’s wife became cognizant of her overuse of “ Wow” and because John Turturro was their recent guest I started listening and sure enough the Wows came in droves. It’s worse than...Read full review »

I want to thank Roger and James for this wonderful podcast. I love the way you go deeply into so many aspects of film production with your fascinating and talented guest, who have worked on some great films and who are so gracious and generous in sharing their knowledge and their lives with us....Read full review »

Thank you, Roger and James! You rock like Hendrix. I can feel the passion and love you have for cinema and it’s contagious. I am a new filmmaker and an older artist (hiphop). I’ve dedicated my life to storytelling on wax and on screen. I’ve read a ton and watched a thousand videos, but I don’t...Read full review »

I’ve only seen Mr. Ballards one movie, The Black Stallion, which I love! But after listening to this podcast I’ll be checking out his other films. I found Mr. Ballards cool, low key, way of making movies very intriguing! Mr. Deakins, I’ve not listened to all of your podcasts but the ones that I...Read full review »
Jeff Puckett via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/21
Fabulous way to spend 90 mins. Many elements make this unique. First, James’ voice is so soothing :) BUT more importantly James herself is a skilled interviewer and producer in her own right. I love hearing from other filmmakers about their craft especially those at the top of their game. The...Read full review »
StellaConnecticut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/21
I have no words for how much I love these podcasts. James & Roger Deakins have kindly provided access to a wealth of knowledge via their world-class collaborators. (It doesn’t hurt that they have amazingly soothing voices too. 😛) I was concerned it would be a lot of upper-echelon masters...Read full review »

One of the most generous gifts to come out of the COVID lock down. Roger and James thanks for your Art and Craft and sharing these relationships, thoughts and insights with the rest of world.

Such a valuable, instructive and inspiring series of interviews with the many creators involved in the film industry….and a couple of photographers. Many thanks to Team Deakins!!

This pod is a gift. Thank you Roger & James for being so generous with your memories, wisdom, and tools.
Pauliemango via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/21
The real deal. True knowledge, great tone, free-flowing conversation with the best in their field. Always fascinating and always sends me back to rewatch the movies.
Sramsram via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/20/21
Forget film school - immerse yourself in this. Features masters in their craft every single week. It shines a light on not only the glamorous roles within filmmaking, but is full of illuminating insights from those whom are essential in the process but often somewhat forgotten. Every episode...Read full review »

The show is amazing except for having Paul Sarossy on the show. The guy doesn’t even know how to properly light a shot or use a proper lense for the scene. And a braggy and frankly just untalented guy. Doesn’t give credit to anyone else just takes credit for his lack of knowledge and talent and...Read full review »

J’adore le ton de conversation de ce podcast. Roger and James partagent leur expérience avec sincérité, ils ont aussi envie d’en apprendre plus sur leurs invités et d’en faire profiter les auditeurs. Une très belle découverte et merci à eux !

Thank you for a wonderful podcast!
disappointed_ugetsu via Apple Podcasts · Finland · 05/07/21
I went to USC for film and I feel like I get just as much out of an episode of this podcast as I did out of a class there. It’s incredibly inspiring and informative.
Nlaneo111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/21
This podcast is fantastic - the calibre of the guests is phenomenal but more importantly the brilliant hosts never dominate and let the guests talk. Thank you 💥
DanDan7878 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/11/21
Thank you Roger and James - you’ve taken the pandemic to provide a silver lining by giving us off the cuff thoughts and insights into both your own careers and ways of operating as well as those otherwise-inaccessible actors / crew / talented others. This is an incredible podcast for anyone...Read full review »
DaveGeffin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/21
For me as a film school student this podcast is just perfect. The information I gain from just one episode equals hours spent in a boring class. I really appreciate every single effort goes through this process. Thank you very much 🌹

This was fascinating - I enjoyed the coverage of this topic on Pop Culture Leftovers, also available on ITunes and Stitcher.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Interesting and in depth conversations with a variety of filmmakers. I always learn something new!

Illuminating conversations between James, Roger and a great variety of guests. James is particularly good at drawing specifics from an interviewee. Wonderful episode with Caleb Deschanel!

A great podcast of all fans of filmmaking and actual filmakers. There is always room to learn. And this is a great place to do it.
