Three friends who happen to be deeply passionate, knowledgeable, and often hilariously opinionated about cinema get together regularly to talk about it. That’s the simple, winning formula behind The Movie Podcast. Hosts Daniel Baptista, Shahbaz Siddiqui, and Anthony Gagliardi bring listeners into their ongoing conversation, which feels less like a formal review show and more like eavesdropping on the best post-movie chat you could have with your most film-obsessed friends. Their enthusiasm is contagious, whether they’re breaking down a brand-new blockbuster, revisiting a classic, or sharing an insightful interview with someone from the industry. The podcast has earned its status as a Tomatometer-Approved source, meaning their reviews contribute to the critical scores on Rotten Tomatoes, a testament to their trusted perspective. New episodes, reviews, and interviews drop all throughout the week, ensuring there’s always something fresh to hear. It’s a consistent and engaging dive into the world of movies, where analysis is balanced with genuine camaraderie and a clear love for the art form. You’ll find yourself listening not just for the film takes, but for the dynamic between the three hosts, who have built a community around shared cinematic curiosity.
