The go to podcast for cinephiles
The filmcomment podcast has been a major discovery for me this year. I have been going through old episodes and I am always awaiting new episodes both for the information that is regularly shared and the humor every episodes contain. This is not a strictly academic podcast, people will go off-topic and make puns, but in terms of content for cinephiles, the filmcomment podcast ranks among the best thing one could listen to.

At times, the podcast starts to...Read full review »
