Open Bar

Pull up a stool and settle in. Open Bar is that late-night conversation after the credits roll, where the talk flows as freely as the drinks. This podcast lives in the world of television and film, but it’s less about formal reviews and more about the meandering, passionate, and often hilariously tangential discussions that happen when you really get into it. You’ll hear a rotating cast of voices, though there’s one in particular who tends to hold court-a famously long-winded and enthusiastically refreshed commentator who sets the tone for every session. The result is a series of conversations that feel like you’ve wandered into the best kind of film club, one where the analysis is heartfelt, the tangents are welcome, and the rules are delightfully loose. Each episode is a hangout, a deep dive into the stories on screen that quickly becomes about the stories we tell each other. Tune in for a podcast that captures the spirit of a great night out with friends, all centered on a shared love for the screen.
