I’m current in the process of moving out of my dorm and I want to get some new shows to listen to when
I’m on the road to my new place in California (Not moving for film reasons lol). I really want to broaden my knowledge and scope of film. I currently listen to redlettermedia in the background and sometimes The Town if that makes it easier.
How Did This Get Made: Comedians break down what went wrong with bad movies, sometimes with the filmmakers responsible as guests.
Story Break: Writers put together pitches for fake movie ideas, which can be funny and/or offer insight into the screenwriting process. The Lincoln Logs episode becomes one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

check out "The Filmcast" for solid film discussions and "How Did This Get Made?" for a fun take on bad movies. also, "You Must Remember This" is a great deep dive into Hollywood's secret history.

What Went Wrong - a podcast that deep dives all the challenges that happened in production of movies. Very enjoyable and easy to listen to multiple episodes in a row.

Been getting into film podcasts lately too. The Rewatchables is solid if you want something that digs into movies you've probably already seen but from different angles. They do good breakdowns without getting too pretentious about it
For something more educational, You Must Remember This goes deep on old Hollywood stories and scandals - really good for long drives since the episodes are meaty. And if you're cool with slightly more technical stuff, The Business from KCRW covers the industry side pretty well
Safe travels on the move man, California's gonna be a vibe

I think my favorite movie podcast of all time has to be The Confused Breakfast. They are really fun and nostalgic. Also, I've got a podcast with my buddy Marc where we Pitch Movies. It's Called Pitch Intense

The Weekly Planet is a great one.
Popcorn and Pints is a new one I'm enjoying as well.

Sorry, not about movies, but some amazing binge-able podcasts to listen to on long car trips:
Alice Isn’t Dead, produced by Night Vale Presents - fun, interesting horror, about driving, so very apt
Serial, by Sara Koenig (season 1 only) - the one and only proper true crime podcast, excellently done, follows only one story
S-Town, by Brian Reed (wait for it…), also a true story, but difficult to even describe

Anime out of context.
2 Guys watching older and sometimes recent anime. One Weeaboo and one utterly not immersed (at least when they started) 400 episodes in and still going.

Behind the Bastards has some great episodes about actors and film, such as Steven Segal and the Twilight Zone movie disaster.
