One if the best movie podcast!!

I have listened to Now Playing Podcast for years. I love thier format of going through series of movies or going through movies with connections, for example going through all movies based on Marvel comic books or going through all movies based on Steven King books.

Each host brings something different to the table and tgey all have great but different views of the movies they watch.

I also love the longer format, too many other podcast stick to a set time length. Now Playing Podcast takes their time with each movie and are willing to give a bigger movie more time to discuss, rather than rushing through to make a hard cut off.

Excellent movie reviews

This is the only podcast that I have listened to every week since discovering it in 2012. I even go back and relisten to stuff in the archive pretty regularly.

Best Movie Podcast Period

These guys have been in my ear since 2012 and I haven’t missed a week since. Their show exactly replicates how my friends and I talk about movies.

if you like movies, you will love Now Playing!

Now Playing Podcast is easily the best movie review podcast out there. Their in depth reviews of (mostly) movie series cover everything from Star Trek to Marvel, from Horror to complete works of directors like M. Night Shyamalan and Quentin Tarantino.
Each podcast has three reviewers, a newbie, a fan and someone that saw at least some of the movies in the series before.
I personally try to (re)watch every movie before I listen to the review, I find myself disagreeing and agreeing and even single sidedly joining the discussion (ok screaming at my phone).
If you listen to only one podcast in your life, listen to Now Playing Podcast.

The Best Movie Podcast

I've been a fan of Now Playing since their review of Tron Legacy. Over the past decade they've gone from being a fun podcast to listen to, to being my go to podcast. They have a vast catalog of reviews from the newest blockbusters to classics to obscure horror movies and TV superhero movies.
