For over a decade, Mad About Movies has been a reliable companion for anyone who loves cinema, offering a steady hand through the often overwhelming flood of new releases and industry chatter. Hosts Kent Garrison, Richard Bardon, and Brian Gill bring a mix of perspectives that feels less like a formal review and more like a spirited conversation you’d have with friends after leaving the theater. Each episode dives into thoughtful film reviews, breaks down the latest movie news, and delivers their personal picks in the regular "Weekly Recommends" segment. This podcast covers everything from blockbusters to hidden gems, always with a focus on the sheer enjoyment and discussion of all things film. The hosts’ long-running chemistry is a big part of the appeal, making complex industry topics accessible and debates entertaining. Beyond the main feed, their Patreon offers a deep archive of hundreds of additional episodes and a community space for dedicated listeners. Tune in for a genuine, knowledgeable, and consistently engaging take on the movies that matter.
