The Filmcast

David and Devindra are joined this week by film critic Matt Goldberg to reflect on the winners and losers of the 2026 Academy Awards, unpack masculinity with Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, diagnose the 2026 reboot of Scrubs, and look back on some of the best picture winners of the past. Then they reckon with the combined power of Quentin Tarantino’s epic Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Check out Matt’s newsletter Commentary Track.

The Filmcast: After Dark is the bonus show where we talk about a variety of random topics that didn't make it into the main podcast.
In this episode, David, Devindra, and Jeff welcome Dan Trachtenberg back to the podcast to discuss Predator: Badlands, which is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu and available on Blu-Ray/4K. They discuss what it's like to tweak the movie studio logo at the beginning of the film, how they convinced the world Elle Fanning was a backpack, why the film is rated PG-13, and the tiny differences between a scene that works and a scene that doesn't. Please note this conversation has SPOILERS for Predator: Badlands.

PATRONS: You can get this audio in your podcast app by going to patreon.com/filmpodcast, going to the "My Membership" section, and copying and pasting the RSS link to your podcast app.
