Quite Possibly the Best Film Podcast

“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 and contentions. If a film is problematic, he addresses it. If it is not one he cares for, he does not let that hinder the guest he brings on to talk about why he might be wrong. He is well versed both in the contextual reading of film (analysis) but also the nut and bolts of film making. There is an episode in which a guest spends about an hour talking about the change from film to digitial, for instance. Mike has built up considerable clout with reps and agents to the point where Hollywood directors like William Friedkin and and Indie directors like Keith Gordon have come on the show for interviews or to co-host. If you're not interested in William Friedkin breaking down Sorcerer or Ronny Cox talking about his experience making Bevery Hills Cop, Total Recall, and Robocop, then this podcast may not be for you. I am surprised at the enormous amount of comments on iTunes regarding politics on the Projection Booth. First, I don't think it's that much, second, I think what is there is relevant, and third, I think the truth may sting a little. I'd like to think of myself as right of center. Art is meant to make you think. If you're turning it off, you're not thinking. The episode on 1984 for example has a fantastic discussion about Newspeak and how it is directly relatable to 'Fake News' and 'Alternative Facts.' If you don't see the parallel there, you're not just subjective, you're blind. Mike has also spent a lot of time on other's podcasts so you can tell he has total devotion to his interest. I heard him on CultureCast, We Hate Movies, and the Super 70 Commentary Cast. You should definately give it a chance. There's over three hundred episodes so you should beable to find SOMETHING you like. I'd start with the one on Star Wars or The Empire Strikes back before you jumped into Point Blank or Yojimbo. Give it a shot. The Projection Booth Podcast might be the greatest thing coming out of Detroit since the '05 Shelby GT.”Read full review »
