If you've never been accosted after a press screening by Nashville critic and filmmaker Jett Loe, who has the boundless enthusiasm of Tigger pouncing on Piglet, the podcast he co-hosts with Irish author Gareth Higgins is the next best thing. Week after week, they re-create the kind of animated conversation that makes you feel like an eavesdropper in a theater lobby. Their guests are consistently entertaining—David Thomson, Francis Ford Coppola, Glenn Kenny—but the real show is the byplay between two pals who remind a lot of listeners why they first fell in love with movies: so they could talk about them afterward.
