I first found the Grierson and Leitch podcast thanks to a recommendation from the great Keith Law. I’ve listened every week since. I moved to Japan 10 years ago, and while I try to catch every non-dubbed movie I can, I miss too many of the movies I want to see. The podcast helps me enjoy all the films I can and can’t see on a whole other level. Listening each week feels like old times for me - watching a bunch of movies and then chatting about it over a beer with my buddies.

I’ve been listening to Will & Tim talk about movies since the Deadspin days. It’s the only podcast I don’t skip because I always enjoy hearing them discuss that week’s new releases, and I really appreciate learning about smaller movies I’d otherwise miss.
My movie request is 1997’s CURE by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. I saw it for the first time recently and became obsessed. A fascinating thriller that really rewards a rewatch.
Please reboot review To live and die in LA
Gonna try to game the algorithm by hitting a bunch of random buzz words in my review:
Great podcast! So sexy! Grierson and Leitch SLAM problematic discourse around Timothée Chalamet and Blake Lively. Five stars, so hot!
(But seriously, this podcast is fantastic, and I’d love for them to reboot Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz)
The Grierson and Leitch backstory is really great—childhood friends share an interest in the arts, each embarks on a career in the arts and succeeds—and it strengthens the podcast. These are two people who enjoy movies, want to talk about movies, understand movies on a deep level, and know how to discuss movies in a way that audiences will understand. The criticism is meaningful and enjoyable; while there aren’t many significant disagreements, each critic is respectful of the other’s opinion.
