So Pimping, So Sexy
I have been a fan of Film Riot since the beginning when Adam bit the apple. And boyyyy what a joy it has been to see it grow from Ryan and his siblings to the amazing company it is today. Yes, the podcast is incredible and I LOVE hearing a new educational conversation every time there’s a new episode but just BIG congrats to Ryan and the whole team for everything growing to where it is. If you haven’t seen any of their stuff, it’s your loss, bro. Film Riot=LOVE and BEAUTY

Masterclass in the business and day to day or filmmaking
These interviews have really given me perspective on not only the technical side of filmmaking but the business side as well. Listening to Ryan as he asks relevant questions that all of us aspiring filmmakers want to know, really keeps you hooked. Most of the guests are extremely open to how they achieved their level of success and the process they took to get there. It seems like there are so many stories they could tell, but the podcast finds a way of condensing things into the information that we need to know. Great work!

Great
This is really awesome, I love film riot and all of the contact they have on the YouTube channel, but this podcast is a great way to listen to it on the go! The film riot team has a plethora of knowledge that they share, making this podcast invaluable for young filmmakers, and professionals in the industry!

Must-Listen for future Filmmakers
This is an endlessly entertaining and helpful film podcast. Ryan is able to have great noteworthy guests who give honest answers because they know that Ryan knows his stuff. It’s not a comedian trying to get the audience to laugh, or a journalist looking for a story. It’s a filmmaker having a thoughtful conversation with other people in the business/filmworld… and we get to listen!

Extremely helpful and motivating
I think this podcast and the youtube channel is super motivating to beginning filmmakers and I love the way that they structure there podcasts and videos, easy, concise and great content to consume on the daily. I think this has helped me so much with my films and techniques!

A must for anyone working or aspiring to work in the Film Industry
You have people who are passionate for film. You can hear it in their voice, you can see it in their eyes, you can usually tell by the way they dress. You have people who are trained in film studies and techniques. The go-to's you hire and make sure are on your team when filming. Rarely do you find someone who's both. And even more rarely do you find someone who is both and shares his knowledge and connections with you... for free. Both practical and insightful, Film Riot's passion for filmmaking, starting from no budget and working it's way to a multi-million budget, is obvious. And they've shared their journey, tips, and tricks with the world for free on their YouTube channel. This podcast gives even more unfettered access to leading industry professionals to answer the questions we all have. Do yourself a favor, and stop reading reviews and start listening to the podcast. Seriously. Go listen.

A wealth of passion and knowledge!
Film Riot at large is an amazing platform for anyone who wants to be a filmmaker. But the podcast does something that the YouTube channel always do. It lets Ryan sit down with industry pros to ask the questions that many of us can’t. So few people working in this business are willing to just answer questions and mentor the next generation of filmmakers that this has made his podcast ESSENTIAL! Thanks to Ryan and the Film Riot team for all of their hard work.

My favorite podcast
I love film riot. Ryan is a genius. What else is there to say? Listening to this podcast is like curling up by the fire on a cold December morning, drinking coffee and getting ready to watch the giraffes parade down the Mississippi River on their way to defend the United States from the hordes of cannibal Vikings from Jupiter who have invaded earth and are now preparing rid the world of cheese curds. But the giraffes are here to defend not only the curds, but the human race and life as we know it. Boy, this podcast makes me feel right at home! I love it!

Reassuring and Inspiring!
I just started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago. As a struggling indie film maker he asks the questions that I’ve always wanted to know! I’ve been learning to make films from film riot since Ryan started and it is so reassuring/inspiring to hear these stories.

Another Gem on the Filmmaker Podcast Network
Ryan’s podcast is one of a select group I’ve been listening to over the last few years as I direct and producer my first independent feature. A great resource to help filmmakers sift through the barrage of misleading content that has been inevitably created with the democratization of filmmaking. Very grateful to this podcast and those like it to get clean and reputable information on a weekly basis. Suit up, take notes, and be prepared to learn something new about the craft of filmmaking.

Dayna Lynne North interview was a masters class
Ryan asked insightful and specific questions that were an education, and I got several tips I will be adding to my writing process. Super engaging conversation with Dayna Lynne North!

One of my favorite episodes
Your episode with Ryan Staub is one of my favorite podcasts of all time! Ryan gave a bunch of great advice. I'm a fan of the Save the Cat beat structure but also feel that the 2nd act is so massive that I stuggle with finding enough organic action. Are there any recommended books out there about the 4 act structure?

Just What I Needed
I’ve always loved FilmRiot, but I’ve often been too distracted by the awesome visuals to watch and edit at the same time. With this amazing podcast, I can edit my projects with the podcast in the background. Amazing topics, amazing guests, and amazing tips! All around amazing podcast!

It’s really deeper than filmmaking
I love Film Riot and think it’s the most entertaining and informative channel for filmmaking on YT. The lessons learned from listening to these episodes can be applied to everyday life of how to talk, deal with and lead people. Plus it shows that if you have a dream, work really really hard at it and treat people well, you can obtain it. Keep it up and I look forward to the future, Ryan and crew!

Amazing Podcast!!!
The Film Riot Podcast is AMAZING!! I have a TON of notes on my phone from different people that Ryan has had on. It has furthered my progression as a film director and I couldn’t be any more thankful. Thanks Ryan for all you do man!! Much love to you man!

Unique in perspective and humor
As a fan of Film Riot the show(for many many years now), having this additional bit of content is wonderful. What I enjoy most about the conversations Ryan has with his guest comes from his desire to learn and improve himself. Everything the film riot team brings us ultimately is to help us improve and become better creatives. What’s unique is that we learn and grow with Ryan as he tackles his own creative obstacles and picks the brain of his guest. The podcast delivers a more relaxed and less constrained Ryan which makes the show authentic. One of the few podcast on the scene that really makes you feel apart of the dialog and not just a listener. Full of humor, dope guest and valuable insights this podcast is a must listen for any filmmaker. —— @wisemindfilms

I would listen to this every day!
The Ryan and Josh Podcast would be my favorite podcast ever! Obviously you’ll have other people on the show, but please have Josh on the show more often!

Brilliant
For anyone who is on their way to becoming a director, this is by far the most entertaining and professionally useful film podcast currently available. It is honest, open and relevant. Highly recommended for anyone who’s serious about film making and wants to learn from the experiences of an up and coming director who is transitioning to the world of feature film directing.

Even Better Than Their YouTube Channel
The Film Riot YouTube channel is a great resource for aspiring filmmakers. The content they produce is wonderful, but this new podcast may be even better. Maybe it’s the stage I’m at in my career, but there are so many nuggets of wisdom in these interviews. Anyone who is looking to make their first feature, this is the podcast to listen to. Kudos to Ryan and the gang for all of the work that they do.

If you need motivation to create films, listen to this podcast
Ryan does a great job at providing a unique perspective on the ins and outs of the industry. Speaking as a filmmaker who is still at the very early stages of my journey, Ryan and his guests provide insights to making films that help give me motivation to create. Thanks for creating quality content Ryan!

Film Riot, but for your earholes!
I love the conversations Ryan has with these people in the industry. From tips to just talking about experiences, it’s always great to listen to. Can’t wait for this show to come out each week!

Film Riot for the WIN
The show is great and seeing all the peoples at Triune working for so long and growing so much is inspiring. Ballistic looks sick too Ryan.

Beyond Excited!
There’s nobody I’d rather sit for an hour at a time listening to than Ryan Connolly. The knowledge I feel I’m going to gain just by hearing other filmmakers points of views is super intriguing to me. I’m pumped for the first Podcast with David! Update : I just finished the first podcast and it was awesome. Now it’s time to hit play on the next one.

Amazing!
As I expect with anything Film Riot, this podcast is just plain amazing. It’s like opening up the doors to super super super super super super super creatives! Looking forward to more episodes!

Finally
I have watched the YouTube channel for almost a year now but wished they'd do a podcast and finally they have one and it's full of the meat and potatoes I want. I'm an editor and the most recent episode was my jam. Love love love you guys keep up the great work.

Great
Great episode for new filmmakers to know to have great relationships with all editors and how to format your film with putting a film together

Great content
I’ve watched Film Riot for a few years, but this podcast is awesome. Having people who are at doing film at a high level is so great to listen to and learn from.
Jon Elliott
This is epic
I watched every film riot video and I have a good feeling that this is going to be as good as there channel.

Super-cool!
Awesome conversation -- underline conversation. Great stuff, Ryan. Looking forward to more.
Indiana Murphy
Inevitable
Film Riot has dominated youtube, and it's only a natural progression that they extend the discussion of the film indusrty to podcasting. Right out of the gate the first episode is great enough to know more invaluable content is on the horizon. WSER!

Interview Sam kolder
Really helpful podcast, can’t wait to hear future episodes, would love to hear you interview Sam kolder on his journey and creative process
loll e pop
Excellent podcast.
I truly appreciate you doing this for us Ryan. I’m super excited for the Shazam film along with all his upcoming films. As a small film maker I’ve done some projects where I had to film a dinner scene with just two cameras and I think 5 or 6 actors. Let’s just say it took all night but thankfully the 30 seconds scene was worth it. Looking forward to more of these and more of your films. Hopefully one day soon I can be at an IMAX screening of one your films.

Film Riot is my Jam
Exactly what I want out of a podcast. I hope future podcasts go further in depth into the kinds of subjects they cover on YouTube, as well as the interviews!

Great Start
Loving the show already. Kicking it off with a solid episode with one of the most inspiring and one of my personal favorite directors working right now, David F. Sandberg. Can’t wait for the next episode and the many more to come. Keep it up guys! -Collin

Fantastic
This crew took me from a blue collar, 60-hour per week job to owning and operating a marketing business with 3 employees working 15 hours per week and golfing 12. Can’t thank them enough.
