Hot damn. Just saw this posted. Today's (Tuesday's) new Hollywood Handbook episode is:
Episode 335: Julie Klausner and Ayo Edebiri, Our Close Friends
TRY MONTH!
Try month rocks. I haven't even listened yet but having Ayo come back (after her amazing appearance on the show) and be joined by Queenie herself? Oh boy. Can't wait.
The Sinbad episode was ridiculous in all the best ways. Even through 3 of the main people communicating through phone/video call they still were able to have Sinbad be annoyed by Sean.
Best episode in such a long time. As soon as I saw this was uploaded, I thought to myself "oh thank god this is exactly what I need right now". Duncan Trussell is probably one of my favorite people on the planet. JRE has been pretty boring the last few months. Episodes have gotten so repetitive and lifeless imo. I was going to lose my shit if I had to hear another conversation about Twitter culture wars or comedians talk about their job without being funny on the podcast. But this is like a throwback to peak Joe Rogan episodes. Really helped me relax in this stressful time

So I've never been a big podcast guy. I'm *hopefully* getting into running and other exercise during these tumultuous times. Anyone have recommendations for movies? I really like books, documentaries and special features about the art of making movies. Script Notes looks good from what I've read, not to mention the A24 podcast.
Similar question for music podcasts. I know RA has a long-running podcast. I used to listen to Song Exploder, which was decent.

i dunno if i'm a podcast guru, but one movie podcast you might enjoy is the The Rewatchables.
Hosted by Bill Simmons, each episode focuses on one movie deemed to be "rewatchable". Typically Bill is joined by other personalities from The Ringer (Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, etc), and sometimes is joined by special guests (Quentin Tarintino was recently on a string of episodes, as one example). They have a series of rankings (most rewatchable scene, stuff like that), poorly researched internet facts about the making of the movie, and a series of "awards" that have developed over the course of the series, such as Apex Mountain (person in the movie for whom this was the peak of their career), Heat Check (someone who does the most with the least amount of screen time), Joey Pants ("that guy" in the movie who ends up going on to bigger things), and some award for over acting that i forget the name of. It's a lot of fun, just pick an episode with a movie you like. You'll learn a lot and have a few laughs.

Script Notes is most useful if you are a professional screenwriter. It's more about the business of screenwriting than the artistry. The A24 podcast is awesome, obviously.
You like horror, right? If so, check out Switchblade Sisters. I really like that one. Other good film podcasts include Talkhouse (has musicians in there too), Unspooled, and I Was There Too. IWTT doesn't publish episodes anymore but it's definitely evergreen. They interview a bit player or extra from a major motion picture about what it was like to be on set. Paul Rust from Inglorious Basterds is one of my faves but they're all great.

Horror Vanguard is a good podcast if you want to hear communists talk about horror movies.
Paul Scheer has a podcast with film critic Amy Nicholson where they watch the AFI 100 and talk about whether these movies deserve their spot on the list. He has another podcast with his wife June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzuokas called How Did This Get Made? where they talk about shitty movies.
Also, not a movie pod, but Punch Up the Jam is a good show where they take popular songs and try to "fix" them. Definitely listen to the episode on Shallow with Sean Clements. Fuck that song.

I miss the old How Did This Get Made. When it was in the studio and just them talking with a guest. It was much more focused and not as amped up just to get loud reactions from a live audience. I get why they changed it to mostly live shows because of time and money (sell much more tickets to pocket that cash) but it's so much better when you can tell they were discussing a lot of the movie and not just picking up on a few weird or fucked up scenes and fast forwarding through the rest.

Yeah. I agree. I used to love it and now I don't listen to it almost ever. For someone new to podcasts I'd definitely recommend the older episodes that are "classic" podcasting. Also feels like they somewhat ran out of the best movies to cover on the show.

Now I will listen to it if it's a movie I know and have seen before (Drop Dead Fred, Pinocchio, Space Jam) but when it's something older or more obscure I don't really seek it out so I have less motivation to watch it. But I remember in the I would track down whatever movie it was to check it out like Monkey SHines or Chopping Mall.
I still really like the show but it's not the same and it's clear when the people on the show have barely even watched the movie.

Punch Up The Jam is so, so good. I love hearing Miel lose her mind on a week-to-week basis. And I was yell, "YOU KNOW HIM" in my head.

It blows my mind that HDTGM is nearly 10-years-old. I just ran through all the Fast & Furious movies and went to go listen to the corresponding HDGTM episodes and they were so, SO different. The live eps are still fun but you're right, we need more studio episodes to balance them out.
painting several rooms in our house this weekend. we spent all day yesterday just taping and painting trim, and i took the opportunity to finally get my husband to listen to all of farts and procreation and it was wonderful. setting up a stitcher playlist with older/classic cbb episodes to get us through the project. gimme all your favorites to add to my list!

I'm going to plug the podcast Strong Songs by Kirk Hamilton. It's available through Luminary, maybe other places I don't know. Luminary has a price but Strong Songs is available for free.
There are two types of episodes - songs or mailbags. I usually don't listen to the mailbags.
He will spend 45-50 minutes analyzing a song. He picks apart the instruments used, recreates them in his home studio, talks about easily accessible theory.
The last episode was God Only Knows. He does mostly famous songs like Stairway, Bohemian Rhapsody, Single Ladies. He did a recent episode on Lovefool by the Cardigans that was great.
