The Pestle Podcast
We're a podcast dedicated to film analysis and discussion. As filmmakers, writers, actors, and musicians we bring our experience from productions into each movie we watch to explain how films are made while also examining each movie and learn how we can be better filmmakers. Each episode is a self-contained exploration of a film, so jump around at will.
Our approach is not about getting the "right" answer, it's about letting the film speak for itself and relating what it's telling us, because a director's intention does not mean they achieved the result they were aiming for or that it landed in the final edit. So, we spend very little time researching behind-the-scenes discussions and instead have one goal: watch the movie, and discuss what we saw.
