Projection Booth is the show that got me into podcasting a number years ago. Mike really deserves a medal for services rendered to film and cinema. Always insightful and on point, the guys have turned me onto all sorts of films after listening to episodes…for that alone I’m eternally grateful.

Best film podcast ever. Very entertaining and affectionate look at movie new and old.

I love this podcast. Brilliant selection of films and interviewees: the host talks to the most interesting relevant people and the research is so thorough. Great close analysis of films, and the episodes are very well structured.

This podcast was one of the best, if not the best, movie podcasts." In-depth" didn't even begin to describe its quailty-take the best film school conversation you've ever had with a fellow cineaste, focus on one film, go moment by moment weith that film, then top it off with...Read full review »

Feed seems to be broken, I’ve found myself in endless ad loops.

an absolute home run. Loved hearing what you all had to say about it and Fuller. So spot on and you get this singular film and genius director. Great to hear the interviews w M Dante and Miss Towers too. You guys are the best.

This pod should be taught in film school

I have learned more about movies and the making of them from listening to this podcast than from a host of classes and professors claiming to be experts on the subject. The host is engaging, entertaining and educated. He does his due diligence on the subject/film being discussed and is an...Read full review »

I listened to the Gumball Rally podcast, and after 30 minutes, yes 30, they still had not actually said anything that amounted to more than “we watched this movie.” My life wants its 30 minutes back.

Who ever plays George Lucas needs to settle down. The editing needs to be better. You can hear two sentences by the same person overlapping.

Makes every other movie podcast completely useless.
DeathShrike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/23
I am basing this on one podcast, but I have never listened to a movie podcast that was so thorough in breaking down the meaning of a movie. Interviewing the writer was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back for more.

My favorite movie podcast by a wide margin. Incredibly well researched by the host Mike White. Sometimes I find myself annoyed by the co-hosts, but I understand why they are there - to generate discussion. The guest interviews are always great.
CONELRAD6401240 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
As someone who also produces a movie podcast, I often find myself cribbing from Mike White’s notes. Every episode he puts out is just so wildly ambitious and deeply researched that it sets the bar so insanely high for the rest of us. I can’t get over the depth of knowledge brought on by various...Read full review »

I found The Projection Booth podcast randomly this last year and I love it. Mike the host has an interesting mix of guests, interviews, film reviews and film background and production. And what a range of films! Not just whatever is current or famous, there's everything here from famous films...Read full review »

The Projection Booth is the best movie podcast out there. I’ll still on occasion give a listen to half a dozen new ones a week and twenty mins in they are wasting my time. For years now the work put into every episode has blown me away but it’s become not only the best movie podcast I know… it’s...Read full review »

The best podcast about movies that covers a wide range of films from all over the world. Great discussion with that weeks guests and it’s nice when Mike bags an interview with somebody who worked film br8ng discussed.
SgtPinback via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/14/22
This is a great podcast for cineastes, movie nerds, and anyone who loves deep, deep dives into films. Intelligent without descending too often into academic analysis, this is a down-to-earth podcast about film. The effort that goes into each episode is impressive. …except when the panel of...Read full review »

I am very sorry but The Hunger is such a weak film to speak of contemporary vampire mythology. Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive” is much more powerful, beautiful and impactful. And it certainly does not look like a effing video.
Gedcomm via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/29/22
I came across this podcast and decided to try it out because they featured an interesting selection of movies they were reviewing. It's a bit interesting that their commentaries and reviews can be triple the length of the movies themselves. I found many of the commentaries to be obnoxious...Read full review »

I’ve been listening for years and when it comes to film podcast deep dives, The Projection Booth is simply the best around. No matter your taste, you’ll find an episode to lose yourself in. Highly recommended.
KLehane via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/09/22
Finally a podcast that intellectually and philosophically reviews old movies that can be seen as bad or outdated or wtv but we NEED people trying to dissect the every aspect of these films or else why do they exist!!
Marco Fernandooo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/22
great discussions that always cover lots of aspects, a bit like taking a walk through the given movie
nknknk90 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/21/22
Best and more complete cinema podcast around. You can find here the answers to the biggest cinephile questions ever: Is it true That Conan's first draft was postapocalyptic? Who was Little Eddie in Hudson Hawk? What is the origin of the three seashells in Demolition Man?Read full review »

Plenty of magazines and celebrities have started very strong film-related in recent years, in addition to the countless fan-generated shows. So what makes The Projection Booth arguably the best film podcast? Well, maybe it's because it marries together everything that's good about the...Read full review »

I used to consider this the best film podcast out there but lately, the amount of commercials which literally interrupt interviews mid sentence and very frequently, have taken over. And nowadays, they can’t help themselves to interject their personal politics into the discussion whether it calls...Read full review »

I love the guests and conversations that Mike curates. I have so many cinema blind spots that this helps me fill in, thanks for the amazing work!
Andrea Canales via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/22
Always appreciate the deep dive conversations Mike and his friends have about both popular and lesser known films. I often watch the movie while listening. Keep up the great work!
tiny tuan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
Mike works hard, talks hard and does a fantastic job recruiting very smart, articulate guests that know the chosen film front to back. Everything about this show should be praised and embraced if you’re a cinephile or just looking for an extensive conversation complete with interviews with the...Read full review »

Another show where I want to love it more than I do only because some episodes are home runs and others are strikeouts for me depending on the chosen guest. Really though there was a recent episode where the “r” word was used to describe something unintelligent and thought the host would know...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to The Projection Booth podcast for years and it’s simply the best film-related podcast for anything even vaguely “cult” or “arthouse” but with a very wide remit including films from many different countries and genres. When I see a film that I think they might have covered,...Read full review »

Had to bail on your podcast when your guests decided to use the format to get political. Coming from a Brit who grew up underprivileged, one would have expected her views to be exactly opposite as she critiques the man who endeavored to lift everyone through opportunity. I tune in to film...Read full review »

I truly appreciate this podcast. I’ve tried out several podcasts about films and filmmakers and got so tired of yelling at my JBL speaker over misinformation, or guests who really didn’t know about the films they were brought on to speak about, beyond having watched it the night before.

The Projection Booth is the perfect next step for film enthusiasts who have seen most of the IMDb Top 250, exhausted the AFI 100 list, and are getting a little tired of the Box Office Top 10 each year. If you match any part of this description and are looking for to expand your watchlist, look no...Read full review »

Due to the breadth of the subjects as well as the extensive interviews, this podcast is the one all other film podcasts are measured by.
doubtingtomjr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/22
The Projection Booth goes deep into the movies they discuss, with interviews and analysis. If your interest in movies is above average, this is a great podcast to subscribe to; they cover a lot of genres, spanning blockbusters to art movies. (The marathon episodes about Poltergeist, Conan and...Read full review »

In a market saturated with fanboys in their basements, The Projection Booth Podcast is both amatuer, and heights above the amatuer. Mike White has more than just 'let's talk about this film' he has a method of walking his guests through a film and methodically pointing out qualities...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of movie podcasts and The Projection Booth is one of the very best!

He also has an incredible backlog of shows that don’t...Read full review »

There’s no more in-depth, informative, engaging, interesting, fun, and well-made film podcast.

The Projection Booth is really a delight — every episode is full of curiosity, interesting guests, and open-ended discussion, and I learn something new every time.

If you are a fan of film, you owe it to yourself to listen to the Projection Booth.

I have listened to so many movie podcasts but all pale in comparison to The Projection Booth. It’s not just a group of fans giving their opinions, the broadcasts are well researched and comprehensive. They always seem to reveal new facts about movies I thought I knew every detail about.
