Each week on Screen Talk, Indiewire's chief film critic Eric Kohn talks with Thompson on Hollywood's Anne Thompson about the indie film world and beyond -- from film festivals to new releases and the future of the business.
The Indiewire: Screen Talk podcast is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in staying up-to-date with the latest news and insights from the film industry. Hosted by Anne Thompson and Eric Kohn, this podcast offers a unique blend of professional expertise, witty banter, and in-depth analysis that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the dynamic between Anne and Eric. Their long-standing professional relationship shines through in their conversations, making for a genuinely enjoyable and easy-to-listen-along experience. They have great chemistry and their banter often leads to laughter, which adds an extra layer of entertainment value to the show. Additionally, their insight into current events in the indie, studio, and streaming worlds is invaluable for people who are into current films and TV shows. They also provide recommendations that I highly value.
Another highlight of this podcast is its focus on independent films. With so many podcasts covering mainstream movies, it's refreshing to have a show that puts a spotlight on independent cinema. Anne's extensive experience in the industry and Eric's insightful criticism make them excellent guides through the world of indie films. Furthermore, their coverage of virtual film festivals allows listeners like myself to take advantage of and recap these events without actually attending them.
In terms of criticisms, one reviewer mentioned that Anne can be too opinionated and disrespectful towards Eric at times. While opinions may differ on this matter, it's worth noting that some listeners may find her assertiveness off-putting. However, it seems that this aspect does not detract from the overall positive reception of the podcast as many other reviewers appreciate their unique banter.
In conclusion, The Indiewire: Screen Talk podcast stands out among the oversaturated field of film-related podcasts. Anne Thompson and Eric Kohn are true professionals who offer insightful commentary and industry knowledge. Whether you're a movie fan or an industry/awards geek, this podcast is a must-listen. From current film reviews to predictions for award ceremonies, this show covers it all with a focus on independent films. With its engaging hosts and informative content, The Indiewire: Screen Talk podcast is a top-tier choice for film enthusiasts.
