I think the fatal flaw for film podcasts is spoilers. You can either watch every film – in advance – that a podcast discusses, or you hear half the plot of a bunch of films you might want to watch later.
I like The Commentary Track because it usually takes a broader focus – directors' and actors' careers, historical trends, film studios, etc. Plots points rarely come up because single films are only referenced in passing.

Confessions from the Dark City – Noir podcast which seems to have stopped after 6 episodes. Too bad, because the format and production were excellent by the last episode.
Out of the Past – Another noir podcast. Two professors discuss many of the well-known noirs throughout cinema history.
The Projection Booth – There are a lot of general film discussion podcasts, but I like the range of selections here. They talk about Welles, blaxpolotation, Criterions, Manos. I doubt any other podcast would devote nearly 3½ hours to Waterpower.
The Lost Picture Show – Focuses on "neglected gems". Their episode guide probably contains a few promising titles you missed. Another cool show that has unfortunately stopped.
B-Movie Cast – Huge archive of episodes discussing hundreds of movies, mostly classic scifi and horror.

Hey, I have been listening to How Did this Get made a lot recently.
I haven't felt motivated to watch a lot of films lately, but HDTGM really helps me. Only problem is that they focus on bad movies. The podcast is fun, but I'm getting tired of watching Tyler Perry movies.
Anybody got a alternative, that focus on good films. I have looked around myself and found this:
>Criterion Cast
The films they watch are great. But they mostly talk about stuff related to the criterion release. Image quality and such. The actual film discussion isn't that engaging.
>F This Movie!
Didn't actually listen to it, seeing as they only watched fedora core shit.
So yeah, anybody knows of a good "film club" style podcast.

If you aren't looking for super art house/critical acclaim film reviews. The Reel Nerds Podcast is pretty good. They review mainstream movies and oscar stuff primarily. The podcast is mostly about their opinions on other films though. The best part of every episodes is the What We've Been Watching part. Like I said, they don't usually talk about small time stuff but their commentary on bigger films can sometimes be really funny.

> Movies are no longer a curiosity. But being the big art elephant in our culture they are certainly worthy of our curiosity, the desire to understand how they came about, how they were made, what makes them work, and what makes them work on us. Professionally, this curiosity is the stamp of a hardy band of obsessives known as film historians. And in the best of them, that curiosity is melded with great passion and deep love for this now quite sophisticated infant art form. This is a grand thing and deserves to be celebrated.

I've enjoyed listening to the last few episodes of Ben Model's podcast. He composes and performs music for silent films and it's interesting to hear his approach to his work. Lately he's also had successful kickstarter campaigns to get a batch of "new" films on DVD.
http://www.silentfilmmusicblog.com/https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/silent-film-music-by-ben-model/id534447043?mt=2I mentioned his fascinating youtube channel in the silent film thread:

Can you recommend some episodes? I tried a couple and never finished them.
The host is trying to do a Marc Maron thing. But as with Maron, I think younger guests make for boring episodes. They usually don't have enough interesting ideas/experiences to make for a compelling hour+ conversation.

Personally, I love the following episodes:
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Matias Pineiro
Dan Sallitt
Gina Telaroli
Andrew Sarris Roundtable
Year-End Roundup (2012/2013/2014)
Kent Jones
Matt Lynch
J. Hoberman
Dave Kehr
Alex Ross Perry
Fernando F. Croce
They all proceed pretty similarly, but I'd say that all of them have something really interesting. The key is just to power through, finish some episodes and see if you like the whole thing. The film discussion at the end of each episode is always enlightening.

Thanks. Part of the problem is I didn't want to listen to discussions of films I haven't seen yet. So the episodes I chose were based on the film rather than the guest, but then the interviews went on forever.
I definitely want to check out people like Kent Jones, so maybe I'll give the podcast another shot (if I can track down Spawn of the North).

Leonard Maltin has a podcast on earwolf http://www.earwolf.com/show/maltin-on-movies/
I wasn't too impressed when I tried it. Maybe someone else here is a listener.
Movie distributors probably throw all sorts of free stuff at him. He sorts out the good stuff to rave about. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling these movies aren't as awesome as he makes them sound.

<Director and DP Larry Revene joins Mike to talk about this poetic film. Daniel Bird, director of The World is a Window: The Making of The Color of Pomegranates and James Steffen, the author of The Cinema of Sergei Parajanov, discuss the making of the film as well as the cuts imposed by Russian censors.

<Fox lost much of its history in a famous vault fire in 1937, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York helped save its remaining heritage in the 1970s. Now MOMA is restoring many of the early Fox films using new digital tools, and William Fox Presents: Restorations and Rediscoveries from the Fox Film Corporation is the first part of a two-part retrospective of the studio in its pre-20th Century days, with eye-opening silents and Pre-Codes from the likes of Frank Borzage, John Ford, Howard Hawks, and the forgotten William K. Howard. It runs May 18-June
<I talk with Dave Kehr, curator of film at MOMA, about what made Fox so interesting in this period—from the greater mobility of Movietone over the better-known Vitaphone to a certain lunatics-running-the-asylum atmosphere. (Of course, the bio he talks about at the beginning is Vanda Krefft's; I spoke with her here.) The music and clips in this segment come from 1931's Bad Girl, directed by Frank Borzage, which is available on blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Great interview where they mention a lot of hidden gems that are being restored. I made note of a few that sounded unique. They also discussed a director who was experimental for early Hollywood, I need to go back and get his name.
They talk about William Fox a little bit too. He had a much more interesting life than I realized, an epic rise and fall. Even though he lost his film company in 1930, the name persevered and of course Fox became a giant media corporation.

I like Blank Check with Griffin and David, but I've learned which episodes to avoid. Basically any movie with mildly political themes or anything with a female guest is guaranteed to be liberal bullshit, which is a shame because the episodes that are just the two of them are pretty funny. Not super insightful or in-depth, but there's some really funny episodes mixed in with all the pozzed virtue signaling crap.
