I have a long commute and have burned through my usual list of entertainment podcasts, so I'm looking for recommendations for the best movie podcasts that offer more than just plot summaries and basic reviews. I really enjoy deep dives into filmmaking techniques, director retrospectives, and thoughtful discussions about themes and cultural impact, preferably with hosts who have some industry knowledge or a unique critical perspective. What are your must-listen shows that consistently provide insightful analysis and maybe even change the way you think about a film you've already seen? I'm open to both long-form interview formats and more conversational roundtable discussions.
Solid options for deep movie discussion: The Big Picture (The Ringer) for thoughtful, culture-forward analysis with guests; Filmspotting for long-form conversations and thoughtful retrospectives; Unspooled (TCM + Earwolf) for accessible, history-forward dives; The Cinephiles for nerdy, director- and technique-focused breakdowns; The Projection Booth for exhaustive, deep-dive explorations of individual titles or movements; Kermode & Mayo's Film Review (UK) for seasoned, opinionated takes and interview-driven episodes.
