    Die My Love with Alison Willmore

Join us and Vulture's Alison Willmore as we do a full career deep-dive on J.Law, and grapple with this film and Mubi's decision to purchase it out of Cannes for a buttload of money.

  • Critical Darlings: The Secret Agent And The Increasingly International Academy

    Critical Darlings: The Secret Agent And The Increasingly International Academy
    Feb 19 2026
    Viva Brazil! Today we discuss Best Picture nominee The Secret Agent, the simmering, colorful Brazilian thriller about a man on the run, starring the dreamy Wagner Moura and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho. The story, about retaining personal and political memory under authoritarianism, has proven resonant with an international audience and awards bodies, garnering three additional Oscar nominations for Best International Feature, Best Casting, and Best Actor for Moura. On this episode, we discuss The Secret Agent itself, how it fits into and subverts the tropes of international films at the Oscars, the Eurovision-like process for international nominations, check in on the Berlin Film Festival, and do a very special Il Postino corner.

  • You Were Never Really Here with Sean Clements

    You Were Never Really Here with Sean Clements
    Feb 15 2026
    In 2018, Lynne Ramsay released You Were Never Really Here, a film about a completely implausible scenario...a townhouse on the East side of Manhattan houses a sex trafficking operation that implicates high-level government officials in its web of depravity???? Could you even imagine?!! Hollywood Handbook's Sean Clements joins us to chat about this eerily relevant film, the literary career of Jonathan Ames, Joaquin Phoenix's screen persona, and Joseph Gordon Levitt's recently announced follow-up to Don Jon. Listen to Hayes Davenport's (not a guest on this episode) episode of High & Mighty where he talks about newspaper comics.

I like the banter and in depth analysis of directors filmographies. I usually learn something new about a director in every episode. I'd recommend this show to any film buff with a sense of humor.

Fun film podcast

Funny, insightful, and informative. Do they carry on sometimes? Yep. You're either giggling with them or googling something to try and keep up. Now come on guys its time to do a Cronenberg retrospective!

Love these guys

are there really two blowhards who didn't like hilarious and sharp ballyhoo? top tier pod with top tier guests.

And inside talk. Useless podcast irritation. When they get to the movie in question, remarks are “wasn’t it great?” Generally uninformative.

Lots of giggling

I honestly have to agree with the other negative review. Very slow to get going, and the five random episodes I listened to just were them listing what happened in the movie and then saying if they liked it or not in a very shallow way.

It's crazy they can have episodes longer than the film they are discussing, only cover 50% of the film and saying nothing of value and constantly repeat themselves.

Good if you just want to hear people blandly chat, bad if you want anything with substance.

Shockingly meh.
