New review specifically for the main feed: best of the 2000s and no mention of The Hours in any of your categories? Y’all must be too male to compute.

and I may adjust if it improves with age, but so far there’s at least one person in each episode almost or completely ruining it. You have: the dude who says “like” constantly; the bloke who sounds like he was told his dog died before recording, so he smoked a bunch of indica then popped some ‘ludes equaling no energy or enthusiasm, and finally the guy who incessantly says, “to me, for me” and “for me, personally.” Sometimes, no joke, he goes “To me, at least for me, personally...” It’s obvious you’re expressing your own opinions and not those of the neighbors across the street. Add in the really annoying, albeit prevalent in most podcasts, habit of saying, e.g.: “Viggo Mortensen’s character,” every..single..time. You could cut ten minutes by establishing the characters’ names then using them, or after the first time say “Viggo” if you’re too lazy to learn them or don’t respect your listeners enough to presume we can follow along. How anyone with a developed sense of humor couldn’t love Sean and Hot Fuzz is beyond me, but yanks often need their comedy spoon fed to them with broad strokes, and most likely the one laconic, zombie-like co-host referenced above isn’t the target audience, regardless. 😉😅

I listen to Reel Spoilers and was looking for something similar. I don’t like movie reviewers who sound like they are reading a script or others who have no knowledge of film. These guys chat, sound comfortable, have insight and give interesting points of view. I’m a new listener and will start checking out prior episodes.

One of my favorite movie podcasts

What a negative group you assembled to beat up on Christmas programming, Christmas trees, etc. I lost count of how many sentences began with…”I hate…” before I decided I had had enough.

These guys give a refreshing new perspective on each film they discuss. I have even been converted into enjoying musicals and seeing the artistic nature of films! Keep up the good work gents!

All four of the guys (Jay, JD, Ryan and Brendon) are really positive and nice, even when they completely disagree with one another. They produce an impressive amount of content on a weekly basis and are a refreshing listen, whether or not I happen to agree with their takes on a particular film. The main show covers the flashier new content, and the Extra Film show takes on lesser-known new movies along with some great director filmographies, which offer a fun opportunity to watch along week-to-week. Really worth a listen.

Really enjoy listening to these movie reviews!!

I look forward to the insight provided to new releases! It lets me plan ahead to see which movies I need to pay attention too! Awesome job!

I stumbled across this podcast on Twitter and am so glad I did. Not only do the cover films, they make you feel like part of the conversation. Entertaining, informative and relatable. They don’t always agree so you get fresh perspectives backed with knowledgable and colorful debates. They break down film in a way that both filmaholics and your average film fan will enjoy. Give them a listen and thank me later.

It's got passion. It's got intelligence. What more could you want from your movie podcasts? You can never go wrong when this team is InSession.

This Podcast is really up to date on all new movies!!! My goto place for reviews! Brendan and JD are very articulate. I like to listen to them while traveling in my car!!

I really enjoy the insight on this podcast. It’s a lot of fun to listen to them talk about different movies!

Great content, great hosts and a great listen! Keep up the good work!

I have been listening to insession film for awhile now and love the reviews these people give. Thanks so much.

This podcast is great! They offer reviews for such a variety of movies, which is what makes them really great to listen to - you can always find great content from them! Very knowledgeable and truly passionate about what they do!

I love the Extra Film director series! Never would have tackled the films of Powell and Pressburger, David Lynch, or David Lean without it! My one nitpick is that Ryan is a Texas fan, but nobody’s perfect. The main show is also great for the big, new releases. You can tell those guys have been doing it for a long time. The love of film is apparent. So glad I found this show!

Great analysis of films! Brendan and JD awesome!

It doesn’t matter if it is new or old! The whole crew is extremely knowledgeable about movies! They could be talking about Do the Right Thing to Space Jam: A New Legacy! Not to mention the podcast is very fun and is must for any movie geek!

Solid Reviews. Great companion piece to any film experience. A must listen for any cinephile.

Absolute joy listening to these guys! Such expertise in dissecting film, while still keeping it fun and accessible for all! This podcast is truly for everyone!

I really enjoy this channel, the hosts are all extremely knowledgeable about films without ever coming across as pretentious. I also really like that they cover a wide variety of movies, from more artsy films like Annette to whatever Mortal Kombat is. Even when the hosts disagree, they are always respectful of each other’s opinions, and I’ve never heard them give any mean spirited reviews. With several episodes released during the week, there is always have something to listen to from them. It just seems like they all love movies, and want to share that love with the rest of us.

The three different shows on this feed each present fun and interesting takes on the film. The main show with JD and Brendan do an excellent job hitting the newest releases and check off fun lists each week. Jay and Ryan hone in on the specialty releases. Their analysis of various directors remains a highlight of my week. Chasing the Gold brings together some of the best awards pundits in the industry. Great feed, great shows.

JD is a veteran podcaster and his drive and dedication to his craft is impressive. He continues to include guests who have diverse perspectives and a shared love for film!

One of my favorite film podcasts. I’ve been listening for 6 years. J.D. and Brendan deliver consistently well-thought out reviews and a deep knowledge of film history, in a fun, engaging, and sometimes emotional manner. And they bring on a variety of guests, creating diverse perspectives and often times surprising considerations. Greatest of all, they remain curious listeners who invite conversation with their reviews, rather than tell you how you should feel or what you should think. InSession Film is accessible to anyone who loves movies.

JD has the voice of your favorite tree from childhood. Brendan has the voice of that reliable jukebox from your neighborhood diner. Ryan has the voice of your grandma’s signature dessert. Jay has the voice of a worldly cedar chest full of love letters. Basically, they all sound sexy in their own unique way, and their opinions are mostly good too!

I love that JD and crew seem to truly love film. Their discussions are insightful and entertaining. Keep up the great work.

Whether it’s the regular reviews of new releases, or the Extra Films breaking down a director’s filmographies, the InSession Film podcast is always a thoroughly great time that makes you walk away wanting to watch whatever film they were discussing so that you can be a part of the conversation

Always a treat to listen to!

I discovered InSession on a whim, in fact, it’s still a mystery how I found out. Maybe a Twitter post? Maybe an iTunes search for movie podcasts? However it was, I’m here to stay. You will be blown away by how in-depth and meticulous the InSession Film panel is, I know I was! This podcast’s panelists thoughtful perspectives, even in disagreements, make them shine. It’s an inspiration now after ONLY 3 episodes of listening! That, more so than anything else, says something about the staying power of this podcast. If you like intentional discussion on film, this is the podcast for you.

Engaging and thorough. A well informed crew and engaging listening experience if you want to get a deeper understanding of film.

This is one of the most enlightening and well-produced film review podcasts you’re going to find. From the main show, to the Extra Film episodes, to Chasing the Gold during Oscar season, there’s always great new discussions to dive into.

Just finished listening. Such a dope intro and retrospective on #Endgame and all the films of the Infinity Saga. Another intellectual dialogue filled w thoughtful provocation and revere! U guys r awesome. Can’t wait to join the discussion! Elevate myself!! Thank you 3,000!

The title says it all. It’s one of the best and longest running movie podcasts out there. Plus, JD crying is always a good time.

Great podcast. Love the enthusiasm of all speakers and guests. They really do their homework which creates great conversations.

Great podcast for all types of movie fans.

There's a lot of film podcasts out there, but InSession Film is one of the best. The hosts are informative and have a great rapport and the rest of their collaborators are great to listen to as well. The show takes on a wide range of the world of film and always knows what they're talking about. Great show.

I‘ve experienced InSession from the very beginning and, I can honestly say, it’s only gotten better. JD and Brendan are not only great co-hosts but also great guys. They are always well-prepared, articulate, funny, and intelligent when speaking about movies. If this podcast isn’t on your listening list, it needs to be!

well-organized, well-spoken, and thoroughly engaging!

With in depth reviews offered from multiple perspectives, this show always leaves me thinking about movies in new ways. Each film that is reviewed takes on a new life in my mind after listening to these guys talk about it. Between the main show, extra film episodes, and the chasing the gold series, there is a lot of entertaining and informative content to engage within this single podcast. I love the work everyone does on this show, thanks for treating our ears each and every week!

InSession, simply put, is one of the best film podcasts you can listen to. JD and Brendan bring fantastic thoughts every single week and have a gift for discussing movies in a way that is not just entertaining but usually thought-provoking as well. Their Top 3 lists each main episode are so much fun and serve to get their community of listeners involved. Because you will always want to think about what your own picks would be. And Extra Film has added even more awesome conversations to their feed. If you can only pick a few film podcasts to listen to, do yourself a favor and make this one of ‘em!

Since the start of quarantine I have listened to many film podcasts as I have become more and more interested in film as an art form. Of all the many podcasts I have listened to, I am comfortable saying InSession Film (and Extra Film) is among the best. Co-hosts Brendan and JD, as well as Extra Film co-hosts Jay and Ryan, are some of the most reasonable and open-minded film critics I have heard. In every film review I have listened to from them, even when their thoughts are negative, they always seem to have something positive to say. These are also some of the most well prepared and intelligent hosts you’ll ever hear; it’s clear in every review that they take the time to process and analyze the films they watch before reviewing, and that makes the discussions incredibly insightful. More than once I have reconsidered my own opinions on a film after listening to an InSession review on it. In addition to their reviews, the top 3 lists are incredibly entertaining to listen to, and the end of year awards shows are some of my favorite podcast episodes to listen to (and so are the movie drafts!). Every review, top 3 list, and awards show is so passionate and uncynical, making InSession Film a joy to listen to. Can’t recommend this podcast highly enough if you’re a film lover like me. Keep up the good work guys!

I’ve been listening to the Insession Film Podcast for a number of years now and have always greatly appreciated and enjoyed their podcast. It’s one of the few review outlets in general (between podcasts, written, YouTube, or otherwise) that manages to talk about film so intelligently but keep in extremely accessible at the same time. Not to mention, INCREDIBLY enjoyable as well! It’s always a great show to have on while I’m working around the house, on the road, or basically anywhere else!

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2019 and have been hooked ever since. Brendan and JD have great chemistry and always bring up amazing points I would never think of when it comes to film. I hope the podcast starts covering tv content as well!

I stumbled upon this gem of a podcast after searching for a review on M. Night’s newest movie OLD. After just 10 minutes in, I was hooked. Then Brenden sealed it with a nod to A Ghost Story!!! I have since binged 5 episodes. Brenden and JD have fully thought out explanations for their opinions (good & bad), they allow each other the space to explain their side and acknowledge when the other has a good point. They have great chemistry and work well off each other. Come for the amazing reviews, stay for the laughs and movie recommendations.

While I’ve gotten some enjoyment over the years with In Session Film, I’m realizing it isn’t for me. Predictably like most film podcasts I listen to the hosts immediately dump on Zack Snyder. I’m far from a fanboy but it’s become cliche for film critics to dump on him. Whether you like his films or not he at least has vision and with Army of the Dead he has assembled a diverse working class set of characters and included a father-daughter relationship as a way of working out the pain of the tragic loss of his own. These critics prefer the bourgeoisie slickness of Ocean 11 heist films. That’s fine but it’s also pretty basic. I guess I need to find some new film podcasts that aren’t so negative toward a director. It’s expected to dislike films but take the personal jabs out.

Can’t recommend this podcast enough for film lovers! Relatable hosts make it an enjoyable and easy listen.

Great podcast for all movie lovers. Conversations are a wonderful intersection of fun entertainment and thoughtful insights. Great podcast for those who want to be well informed but also enjoy listening to a fun conversation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whether you’re a film fanatic or an occasional watcher I’ve found that this podcast can work in your favor either way and it’s quite enjoyable. From the Roundtable of guests to the topics at large this is one of those shows that yes while niche with the topic, it’s SO BROAD and there truly is something for everyone. I dig it, I’m hooked

A great podcast hosted by people who clearly love movies. You can hear the joy in their voices, and there’s nothing better than hearing someone excited about their passion. You want to be their friend.
