About Film Journal Podcast

George (Film Journal) and Ryan (Cinecrisis) dig through film history one oddball pick at a time—hopping from cult horror to forgotten blockbusters, art house to trash fire (sometimes in the same episode). Whether it’s dissecting Hammer Horror, roasting the latest Studio Flop, or revisiting 70's exploration fare- they bring sharp takes, deep trivia, and the kind of banter only good pals can pull off! No film school snobbery. No hot take clickbait. Just smart, funny conversations for people who like movies and think they actually matter.

   Summer Blockbusters Check-In

   Four big summer releases. Four totally different kinds of arguments. Ryan and I sit down for an action-packed movie check-in that jumps from pure nostalgia to internet-born horror to late-career Spielberg to peak Nolan spectacle, and we don’t pretend these movies all succeed for the same reasons.
