OmNomNomNom Film Culture!!!

You like film? omg, i like film too!!

So here now: Marc's List of Websites and Podcasts for Movies Lovers

Or as I sometimes say when I'm very tired:

OMNOMNOMNOM INTERWEBZ LOVES MOVIEZ!

Begin....

Film Riot
Video Podcast that gets right into the nitty-gritty of how special effects are done. Also LolPacked.

The IFC Podcast
Pick a theme, dedicate a show to it. Done. Simple. Awesome. Matt Singer and Alison Wilmore are funny, down-to-earth film geeks with a touch of the complete-ist to them. And that appeals to me...because I am OCD *wipes down keyboard*

Boxcutters
Excellent podcast about television from Melbourne. If I didn't have this podcast sometimes I would have no idea what to waste my download limit on.

KCRW's The Business
Great round-up of the news in the world of production from California's venerable public broadcaster KCRW. What's more interesting though is their feature stories which are often really left-field about movie making. Curiously, this is where I often found material for dear ole Film Ed 101 pieces

KCRW's The Treatment
Such a simple, elegant program: 30min (tightly edited) conversations with filmmakers. Big ones. Small ones. Some you may never have heard of. This was the show I was inspired by when I did my old FBi slot Movie Adventures

Media Talk from The Guardian
The Guardian are the best podcast producers in the mainstream media world and this is a tightly-edited, well presented show about the world of UK Media.

Slash Film
Cinematical
Collider
CinemaBlend
Deadline Hollywood
Did you hear that *insert mid-level hollywood star* is starring in the new *mid-level Marvel comic property* and that *should know better* is directing?? These are all great places for hollywood/festival news.

Now there are countless blogs that I could recommend, but then it would all get a bit crazy. There's also a real lack of Australian film content (video and audio) on the list. Trust me, I'm looking to fix that:)

More importantly, I'm curious is there anything pressing that I should be downloading? you tell me.

Joe Loves Crappy Movies

A thoughtful review, coupled with great art. He's also got a pretty good sense of humor about him.

The Creative Screenwriting podcasts with Jeff Goldsmith are awesome. In depth Q&A's with screenwriters and filmmakers. Most recently you can listen to a Q&A with our very own Animal Kingdom director David Michod. If you're a writer/director then you learn so much from these interviews but they're also great if you're just an obsessed film buff.

I run an Australian/American movie podcast with my good friend Jon Tilton that you can check out here:

I would recommend Mark It! A great analysis of the expectations films give through their marketing and whether they live up to it or not.

Doug Benson's 'Doug Loves Movies' podcast. I think you'd be into the Leonard Maltin game, Marc.

Aww shucks, thanks for the blog love Marc!

I'll second Victoria's recommendation of Creative Screenwriting podcasts. I'm not a huge fan of the host's sense of humour (as evidenced by the opening 3-4 mins of each podcast), but he's a good interviewer.

I'm also a longtime listener of Filmspotting - those guys are great and their movie marathons consistently remind me of all the classics I need to catch up on. http://www.filmspotting.net/

The Slate Culture Gabfest often talks films, and that coupled with Slate's film critic Dana Stevens' Spoiler Specials make for wonderfully eloquent discussions about cinema.
