I work completely unsupervised and alone for over 40 hour work weeks, so I have plenty of time for podcasts. Here's the list:
What do you think is the best podcast for movies? Something that focuses on new releases with occasional discussion of older films? I like Doug Loves Movies, but wouldn't mind something that focused a little more on movies.
I think Filmspotting is very good, and maybe the best I've heard. The two are from Chicago and have very good retention for older films and shedding light on some obscure gems whilst reviewing that week's opening movie (sometimes it's a blockbuster or an indie, depending on how much talk there is surrounding it).
Wow, Filmspotting fits my request almost exactly. Thanks for the recommendation! I've listened to about 6 episodes and I really like it. I think there are two issues, though:
1) I wanted more in depth discussion about the movies, but I wasn't thinking about the spoiler aspect. They don't give away many plot points, but I do like to see a movie knowing almost nothing. I think I just need to listen to the movie discussion only after I've seen the movie.
2) Adam is a bit pretentious. When he forms his top 5 lists, it seems like he purposely picks movies that will make him seem smarter. I enjoy the love for old movies, but when your top 5 list includes all movies from the 40s that even Robert Osborne doesn't know, you're reaching a bit too much.
