I love this podcast and the whole crew, I’ve been listening since 2020 but I have to admit the show has gotten worse due to the fact that there are too many toxic political discussions almost in every episode now. I know politics are everywhere now and its hard to avoid discussing it especially in the US but as someone who’s in the middle of the spectrum I wish Slash crew either discussed it from different perspectives, be more objective or just stick to reviewing the movies without bringing up politics at all and maybe create a separate show fully devoted to how everyone on Slash crew hates certain political figures (which I don’t fully disagree with but have a range of different opinions on). I’m sure many of your listeners read political news every day, they face enough toxicity and hatred in their lives as it is. Listening to their favorite movie podcast just so they can distract from bad news can brighten their day and bring sense of joy many of them are so desperately hoping for. Recently I stopped feeling it when listening to Slash Film, I’m sure many people feel the same and I hope in the future the show will be more pleasant and not filled with angry rants about the state of the country. There are different podcast for that. I still love the crew and their take on movies and I will keep listening to this podcast even though there are many others I could be listening to instead. I understand it’s your podcast and you decide what to say or not to say, you are free to express your opinion but it would be prudent to keep in mind that many of your listeners who share different views can get turned off and move to another show that’s just about movies. Please think about your fans and the reason why they fell in love with Slash Film in the first place. With love and respect, Damon

I like this podcast and everyone on it, but I am sad that they put my favorite part, the box office rundown, behind a paywall on another podcast. It hurts. Even though the show is weekly now, it can still review the previous weekend’s box office on Wednesday. It is still extremely relevant to THIS podcast. I don’t understand it.

Been listening to this podcast since day one, there’s been some changes that have been good, and many that have been rough. I really do miss the old format. They had way more content than these merged segments squished together. It’s never current with the news. I really miss the box office analysis. You’d think they’d keep that. And no, I’m not gonna join that one dude’s patreon to get it. I still listen, fast forward all the interviews cause I don’t care for them. I guess you get a decent 5 to 10 minute listen.

Please bring back Ryan’s box office summaries

I loved this show up until recently when they changed the format. Bring back water cooler and box office summaries. Interviews tend to be boring. thank you

When it was daily I would listen to the Monday weekend box office show and the sometimes the water cooler show. This new format is terrible. Forced to listen to a bunch of stuff I don’t like. No more box office numbers. Stop with the spoilers. When people listen to podcast, they’re not always in a place where they can pause and rewind. —-STOP IT— This podcast is not about the fans anymore. It’s more about what’s convenient for the editors. I’m out.

I can’t stand this new format. I miss when you all would go over the box office results and I also miss the line up you use to have. Sonya Michigan

I’ve been down since day 1 (ish) and appreciate Ben finding a way to keep the pod going. Maybe it won’t be possible, but I won’t complain if a water cooler feature makes its way back onto the show every now and then!

Love the podcast and the site! Really fun to listen to on the drive back from my local theater. Thank you for the great show.

Horrible show with horrible audio hosted by horrible fat losers who have no skills or talents. The website that hosts the show is basically just a dump for pointless articles on the Big Bang theory. Peter sold the site years ago so he could be a weird Disney adult.

I listen every day. I'm always excited when HT guests!

This is how I keep up with movie news and box office. They always bring suggestions for movies and books that I would otherwise miss.

I've been listening to this podacst since it began in I believe 2017. Somehow, it's always retained a comfortable sense of family. It's a great way to keep up with film news, especially box office analysis. If they could improve the audio quality, that would kick things up to the next level.

Thank you for the hard work you put into this show, and thank you for your kind message today <3

This is a great daily show that offers plenty of news and opinion and discussion on all sorts of new movies and tv. Love all the industry interviews, but even better, I love the ranked lists and the unfiltered commentary on movies and the industry. The water cooler episodes are also a ton of fun, especially when Brad talks about food. It's a great bunch of people and I wish I could hang out with them in real life!

Love all the contributors

How do you have two hosts cover the Joker Folie opening weekend and neither has seen the movie? Amateur hour

This is a great film nerd podcast. Beyond the daily news, I love the ranking episodes and the reviews on Fridays, but my favorite special episodes are the film festival wrap-ups. Only one minor complaint: the ads are louder than the hosts, which can be jarring when the show breaks for a sponsor and you can’t get to your phone volume.

Host Ben needs to learn how to record audio that doesn't sound like he's recording from his bathroom and in general they need to balance Host Ben audio w/ Staff call-in audio – they are almost always several dB's lower than he is, and it makes listening to show a bit of a chore.

Ben and Co. have been crushing it lately. Good balance of topics, energy, and consistency, especially for a daily show.

Great show but TERRIBLE AUDIO. The show ads play at volume 10 while the overall show show audio is a 5.5. Crank up the show to hear the audio and get blasted by the ads. Terrible listening experience. Can we BALANCE the audio please.

Huge fan of the show. I’ve been listening since Peter launched the platform years ago and must say I’ve sensed a recent shift in the overall tone. Specifically, with Ben who used to be a much lighter listen. Hopefully, they are able to rediscover what made them such a great listen in the beginning!

I am currently catching up on old episodes as my life has been super busy and I am woefully behind on ALL of my podcasts. I agree with reviewer Julie Casey (hope I spelled that right), Chris Evangelista is great and you should have him on more frequently. He is a crank, but in the best way possible! His signature cranky sense of humor cracks me up! But it's not just Chris; I love all of you guys! Slashfilm Daily is my one, and only, source for film industry news. You guys are great!

I love this pod, so I’m saying this with no ill will. Ben Pearson’s audio is so distractingly echoey! Is he recording in a tiled empty bathroom? I will literally donate toward getting him a better audio setup. Other than that, love it!!

A huge kudos to Ben on his thorough and brilliantly insightful article on the evolution of modern film scoring. As a professional musician who wanted to be John Williams as a kid, it's somewhat disheartening to read about these trends, but I appreciated getting context from voices I admire immensely such as Giacchino and Ottman. I'm a longtime podcast listener and I've enjoyed getting to know (in a sense) all the fun personalities who appear on the program. The box office analysis with Ryan and Ben is can't-miss and IMO Slashfilm is by far the most relatable site for staying current with industry news. Keep up the great work, folks, and let's hope the industry can get its mojo back.

Must listen for anyone who enjoys media and analysis

Just discovered the show last week whilst searching for new pop culture related podcasts. I love the daily format and the discussions you guys get into. I am definitely going to be a daily listener going forward!

I have been listening daily for at least 5-6 years, probably more, and it changes over time as the hosts change. May have been a bit too Marvel/Disney heavy for a while for example but that changed too. Good balance is hard. Always a good show but now I especially like the box office talk. Keep it up!

Love this podcast and listen to every episode. All are great but especially Chris who is a smile! Thanks guys

I have been a listener for years and certainly miss the old cast with Peter Jacob , HT, Chris, Brad, and Ben all together every week. Now, with the changing of the guard, I still love this pod even more. I look forward every Monday to hearing my new favorite movie writer Ryan Scott analyze the box office statistics. I truly appreciate Ben’s love and celebration of inclusiveness, diversity, and acceptance. I think he has become such a wonderful , consistent host of this pod. I really enjoy BJ’s, interviews and the wonderful, thoughtful and incisive questions that she asks of producers, writers directors, and actors. I love hearing Jacob become so enthusiastic that he barely breathes while talking in a run-on sentence about his favorite new books or games. I am always down to hear about whatever newest snacks that Brad is consuming. And of course, I would be remiss if I did not shout out my favorite reviewer, Mr. Chris Evangelista and his witty words highlighted by his cigarette tinged smokers voice. Thank you, /Film for all the info, reviews, opinions and chatter from years past, now and whatever is downloading soon !!! Howard McKean Columbus OH

I give you five stars. But (no offense) BJ gets a bit too political sometimes and is very judgmental of others that don’t share her world view.

Everyone here is amazing. They have such great chemistry. Ben, Brad, Chris, and Jacob have led the way as the "old guard" while new voices like Ryan and B.J. add fresh perspectives. For my money, this the absolute best podcast for news, reviews, and just everything involving TV and movies hands down.

I live in Japan and hit the Daily first thing every morning. Have been listening for years and I am so pleased that Ben has kept the show going. Film and television, books, even food. Lots of solid recommendations here. I especially like Ben’s comments on older films as he fills in his cinema education.

I’ve listened since the beginning and always love hearing from the different writers and editors from slash film. Quite a few different points of view and areas of expertise. Great mix news, deep dives, interviews, and in-depth discussions of mostly modern film.

I listen to /film daily, well, daily… it lives up to its name and brings the latest film and TV news from the experts themselves. The podcast has found its rhythm since Peter left and flows extremely well regardless of who is on. If this show somehow dissolves it would be the equivalent of all things awful - like taking candy from a baby, watching the US political system go through a presidential election cycle, war, and finding out your favorite TV show is ending. I’m not sure why there’s so much hate in the world, so please don’t let a good thing die. There are not enough stars in the universe to rate this show, but I’ll settle for 5.

Listening to /Film Daily is one of the things I most look forward to doing each weekday. Ben Pearson and the other /Film contributors on the podcast provide insightful analysis of film news and have really interesting conversations about movies in general. I especially tend to have a blast listening to Ryan Scott’s box office analysis and recent episodes ranking films in a particular series or in a particular director’s filmography to tie in with certain new releases (for example, a Hunger Games ranking when The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes came out or a Matthew Vaughn ranking when Argylle came out). If there’s one thing I’d want altered, it’s just for their DC coverage to be as frequent and thorough as their Marvel coverage, as I immensely enjoy their coverage of both, but there’s far more of the latter than there is of the former.

Slashfilm Daily is the best daily film podcast, in my opinion. Not only does the show keep me up to date with everything that I need to know about the film and media landscape, but the people who work there are genuinely good people that care. They care about film, they care about the medium, they care about each other, and the care about the listener. Slashfilm Daily is where personality, passion, and impeccable knowledge collide!

I’m shocked to see these negative reviews. I started listening to the pod a couple months ago and it’s good stuff for a daily show.

Long live slashfilm daily!

Ryans the best analyst i follow

Great show, have been listening since the premiere. It’s changed a lot, and mostly for the best. I listen every day, love Ben as the host, and everyone else who comes on. Main complaint is the sheer amount of ads. SO many.

Great variety in episode topics from box office and news to interviews to reviews.

My number 1 horror pod cast. The hosts are really starting to gel!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years now, and I can confidently say that I *love* the addition of Ryan Scott to the regular lineup. I held off on reviewing for a few months to make sure my opinions were solid, but this guy really has it down. I love his perspectives and his presence behind the microphone, and I love the box-office/business focus he brings to the show. He handles the audio medium extremely well and I hopefully look forward to hearing Ben introduce him in every intro to the podcast! On the down side, it’s incredibly jarring and disappointing when B.J. casually throws out a comment like “we live in a white supremacist society” halfway through her analysis of some movie or book. At a minimum, that claim is simply not relevant to this conversation. I would argue that’s it’s also wildly divisive and not supported by fact, but I don’t think is the medium to discuss that topic— and my main point is that that claim is not at all a widely-held or accepted belief. At this point, she slips in so much political garbage into her analysis that I turn off the episode whenever I hear her introduced.

WHAT happened to PETER

I used to listen to this show on the regular. I was a big fan of Peter, Chris, and Ryan Scott, in particular. I felt that for a long time it was a good mix of personalities with varied and interesting viewpoints. However, Ben and his Uber-left wing slant on everything gets beyond tiring to listen to. We get it, buddy, you’re the most leftiest of the left. You don’t have to ‘virtue signal” all the time, because it is OBVIOUS where you stand politically. Maybe Ben should step aside and go pursue a podcast that deals exclusively with left wing causes, and let Slash Film bring in some new blood as host? Maybe someone who actually cares about discussing the brass tacks of the entertainment industry? Just a thought.

I’m so upset with this podcast. I use to listen to it regularly. But since Peter left they have lost their connection with their audience. Very sad

A show full of men gassing up other men in Hollywood. Even when talking about a movie full of women like Bottoms, they find a way to spend 10 minutes hyping up Marshawn Lynch and no one else in the movie. Their initial talks of Barbie, they spent most of the time talking about Christopher Nolan and Ryan Gosling. And don’t hold your breath for a woman guest speaker, you’ll pass out. BJ Colangelo is a newer and very welcome addition, but one person isn’t a monolith. I’ve been listening for years and am not an avid reviewer but my pattern recognition can’t take it anymore and I just hope this opens eyes and ears to biases.

Get AMC A-List

Good info but sometimes obvious political motivations
