Sexy and Gross, in a Cinematic way
Love hearing the banter between these two (and special guests!) from the Seattle area. Keep up the good work, in between SIFF viewings, if they ever end.

Sexy and Gross
This is a great podcast, and it keeps getting better. They asked for a review describing the show as "sexy and gross" and I had to comply. THAT is how much I like this podcast.

Cinema Discussion At Its Finest
A wonderful and engaging voyage down cinema-lane. Eloquent banter about cinema of intrigue past and present -- what more could one want?

Fantastic
I've only listened to 2 episodes, but that was enough to tell me that these guys know their stuff. Really insightful conversations.

Smart, in-depth film discussion and snappy film banter
The George Sanders Show is one of the best, smartest new film podcasts around, and it's quickly become one of the first podcasts, among many, I listen to on my Friday subscription list. Each week, Sean and Mike choose two loosely related films ("gangster films," "horse-racing films," "comedy classics," etc.), from among new and old films, and spend the two biggest portions of the show discussing each, drawing on their love for film and knowledge of film in both insightful and delightful ways. They also choose a "cinema-essential" each week, a recommendation tying in with the week's theme (eg. an " essential slapstick" movie related to the comedy classics theme) - I now have a growing list of these recommendations! - and they also discuss a bit of film news from the week (eg. Miyazaki's retirement). The show is very well-structured, moving along segment by segment professionally, but it has a nice informal feel, too, so that it doesn't seem so tied to its structure so as to feel restricted by it. (The two hosts, happily, were not above a spontaneous diatribe against Mr. Weinstein, for example, on the Grandmaster episode.) On a last note, I love the rapport and informal ease between Sean and Mike - the two are clearly good friends and discussion between them is flows along snappily, and they can agree and disagree with one another with an equal degree of comfort. Bottom line: Super stuff. Check it out!
