The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Three Big Documentaries, One Great Episode

For the first time ever, we devoted an entire episode just to documentary releases. And they're all pretty worthwhile. You can hear our thoughts on You Can See Everything, Musk and Once Upon a Time in Harlem down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Social Reckoning,' 'My Undesirable Friends: Part II' and 'Animals'

We've got a little bit of everything on this week's episode. We disagree on Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning and then we take a look at Julia Loktev's follow-up to the incredible My Undesirable Friends. Finally, we kick Ben Affleck's terrible thriller Animals around. Check out the banter and reviews down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Digger,' 'Verity' and 'Fjord'

We've now entered awards season, so the podcast is gonna be jam-packed with Oscar hopefuls and the occasional fall blockbuster for the next few months. This week, we debate Tom Cruise's risky satire but are much more aligned on the hit thriller Verity and Christian Mungiu's Palme d'Or winner. You can check out the conversation down below. 

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Primetime,' Mahershala Ali and 'Heart of the Beast'

On this week's episode, we disagree on two movies: Primetime and Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. Then, Will asks me about Brad Pitt's new survival thriller, Heart of the Beast. We also make some predictions about the MLB playoffs. Hear it all down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Resident Evil,' 'The History of Concrete' and My Festival Recap

I'm back in America, so it's time for another episode of the podcast. This week, we review Zach Cregger's take on Resident Evil, John Wilson's follow-up to How To With John Wilson, and The Uprising. Plus, I share some thoughts about my experiences at Venice and Toronto. A very fun time was had by all, and you can check it out down below.

'The Screen Podcast': My Favorites From TIFF 2026

I was back on Screen International's podcast, this time from Toronto, to talk about my favorite films from the festival. (Also in this episode: My colleague Jeremy Kay discusses the festival's new market, and then Jonathan Romney previews San Sebastian.) Check out all our wise words down below.

'The Last Thing I Saw': Griping About 'Primetime,' Raving About 'Possible Love'

It was great to catch up with Nicolas Rapold while recording an episode of his podcast in Venice. We talked about Possible Love and Unknown Woman, which ended up snagging the Golden Lion, but we also bonded over our shared dislike of Primetime. You can check out the conversation below.

The Film Comment Podcast: Tackling Oasis and 'Woman Unknown' in Venice

Near the end of this year's Venice, I was on Film Comment's podcast with host Devika Girish and fellow Screen International critic Jonathan Romney. Jonathan and I debated Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, and we all got into Woman Unknown. Before I showed up, the two of them reviewed The Pervert's Guide to Utopias. So, a little bit of everything in this episode. You can listen below.

'The Screen Podcast': My Top Three Films From Venice 2026

Always a pleasure to be on Screen International's podcast. I joined host Wendy Mitchell to talk about the movies that most impressed me on the Lido. A hint: It's a documentary and two competition films. Check out the conversation down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Previewing Venice, Telluride and Toronto 2026

Greetings from Venice. The screenings started today, so for a fun bonus episode of the podcast, I picked five films I'm most curious to see at the fall festivals. Then, we look at the big movies coming out later in 2026. Folks, it's officially awards season. You can listen to our conversation down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Coyote vs. Acme,' 'The Dog Stars' and 'Tony'

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The End of Oak Street,' 'Amziah King' and 'Union County'

Listeners sometimes complain that Will and I agree too often. Well, those who feel that way will be pleased with this week's episode, where we really disagree on the dinosaur thriller The End of Oak Street. We are more aligned, however, on The Rivals of Amziah King and Union County. Hear us debate down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Teenage Sex and Death,' 'One Night Only,' 'The Last House'

One good movie, two not very good movies are featured on this week's podcast. We both have plenty of nice things to say about Jane Schoenbrun's third feature. But we're not sure what to make of One Night Only or The Last House. Listen to us work through our feelings down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'All the President's Men'

Only two movies on this week's episode, but they're both major. First up, we review Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which just made box-office history. Then, we go back to 1976 and revisit All the President's Men, which remains as timely as ever, unfortunately. Check out our conversation down below.

'Extra Hot Great': Feeling Mixed on 'Furious,' Debating 'Soldier of Illusion'

I always have such fun on the Extra Hot Great podcast. And we had a lot to talk about. First up, we review the acclaimed new Hulu limited series Furious, which I had some reservations about. Then, I put in a plug for the delightful Lonely Island 2019 "visual poem" The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience. Finally, we discussed whether or not to add the Documentary Now! episode "Soldier of Illusion' into the Canon. Tara, Sarah and Dave are the best: You can hear our conversation down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Let's Talk About 'The Odyssey' (and 'Office Space')

Will and I go long on Christopher Nolan's epic film. And then we go back to 1999 to revisit Mike Judge's Office Space. You can hear our discussion down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Evil Dead Burn,' 'The Invite' and 'Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass'

On this week's episode, it's the calm before the storm that is The Odyssey. We review one studio movie and check out two specialty offerings. The film I liked the most of the bunch might not be the one you're expecting. Hear our thoughts and lively banter down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: The Best Films of 2026 (So Far)

We've reached the halfway point of the year. So it's time for Will and me to each reveal our picks for the six best films of 2026 so far. My list includes a big studio movie, a three-hour road trip shot on a crappy old smartphone, a semi-autobiographical drama a Kafkaesque nightmare, a satire about the Israel/Palestine conflict, and a ghostly tale about a missing boat that returns. Check out our choices down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Supergirls, Jackasses and the 'Obsession'/'Backrooms' Phenomenon

On this week's episode, we review two franchises that didn't have a great showing at the box office. First up is the disappointing Supergirl. Then we giggle over Jackass: Best and Last. Finally, since we never had a conversation about the unexpected twin horror hits Obsession and Backrooms, we talked about what their success means. I really enjoyed this episode, and I hope you do, too.
