Well-edited discussions on film

“To my knowledge the best podcast on film. I follow the podcast loyally and often get an excited jitter, when I see that a new episode has arrived.
What makes this podcast stand out is first of all the production. Often discussion-based podcasts are unfinished sentences and thoughts overlapping each other in a noise, and this is where I think Film Comment makes a subtle but important use of editing of the podcast.
This couldn't be accomplished if producer Violet Lucca wasn't moderating the show as well as she does. I've noticed a lot of unfair (and probably sexist) criticism of Lucca, because she keeps the mood light and slightly silly at times. While I think it's fun, I'd also like to add that her goofy position is clearly founded in her specific affinity in movies – common references for Lucca are Airplane! and Jerry Lewis.
This podcast excels in its content compared to other film podcasts, but I honestly prefer, when the show allows room for discussions on film (best recent example "Wanda Woman") rather than description and plot summary (worst most recent example "The Summer of 77"). Lately, I've heard a few to many episodes, where each participant shares one-two movies that relates to the topic of choice, but lacks actual interaction between the otherwise highly qualified film critics. But this is nitpicking.
I don't know whatelse I'd listen to on film, if it weren't for the Film Comment Podcast. By now I form my own arguments while listening, as if I was a part of the conversation.”Read full review »

Interesting content, but there were moments, where I wondered if the hosts had fallen asleep. Maybe add someone with a little more energy. Maybe some wacky sound effects…I...”Read full review »

“Volume and sound quality are a bit dodgy sometimes, but seem to be getting better. Content is eclectic and more off the beaten path than say something like Film Spotting. Good stuff.”

“Film Comment has the reputation of being one of the best film journals in the English language. That means that the producers of this podcast often have access to some of the best filmmakers in the business. What's frustrating, however, is the smug and often peurile opinions and attitudes...”Read full review »
