I’m a long time listener and fan. I learn something new from every episode. I appreciate the preparation and effort put into the show. I feel like I am listening to 3 friends of mine. As a self taught film nerd I recommend this podcast to everyone. I even listen to episodes more than once. Thanks Jess, John and Tom! I appreciate the your sense of humor as well.

Possibly my favorite group of hosts to listen to. Their preparation for each show is impeccable and I always come away feeling like I learned something about films or the movie industry.

I’ve listened to quite a few of these episodes and every one of them spends far more time talking about random topics or other films than they do talking about the subject of the podcast. You end up with maybe 20-30 minutes of what you’re looking for based on the title with a ton of filler. They could go so much more in depth on these films.

Tom, Jess and John, You may envision this podcast as a kind of personal passion project; a place where film enthusiasts come together to gaze and marvel at all of the little details that contribute to the magic of cinema. But, for me, this podcast was something more than this: you were my companions during this lonely and uncertain time. I’m from the UK, but I live abroad, and listening to your perspectives and movie picks brought me so much comfort. This is detailed, lively analysis showcases the many talents of its hosts, but honestly, it just means the world to me. I am most certainly sharing your nostalgia on the release of the 92nd episode! Thanks you folks.

Honestly it’s great. Amiable, chatty, conversational, interesting. Lots of film facts and an incentive to watch all the best movie picks as well. Love it. Strongly recommend.

The three of you, especially Jess, are terrific. You have to continue together once all the years are covered. A new topic must be covered by the three of you. I can’t think what that should be, perhaps Emmys or golden globes or just major events by year. But never stop!!! You’re great. Or just pick movies that you loved that were not Best Pics

Love the Podcast, I’ve listened to all the ones that I’ve seen the winner of (54/92 I believe) and I really appreciate the research you put into each episode, and keeping it entertaining throughout! Great Chemistry from the three of you, and I’ll be sad when it stops popping up, and hope you guys have another project after this one!

There’s a great idea here: three Brits in the entertainment industry randomly select an Oscar winning Best Picture, discuss the ceremony for the year it won, the overall year in cinema, and the making of the film, then watch the film and discuss its quality and whether it deserved to win. And it’s entertaining to hear their various opinions; but they tend to get mired in identity politics and SJW virtue signaling that it tends to get eye-rollingly silly. It would be nice if they were more open minded.

Terrific!!! Not only do the hosts discuss the film, but they give tremendous background on the movie, directors, actors, facts about the year the movie came out, and other movies in that year that maybe should have won instead of the picture that actually took home the Oscar that year for Best Pic! The hosts are smart and funny, and it's a very well-produced podcast as well. Thanks for hours of entertainment John, Jess, and Tom! I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the production of this podcast!

So I am just not a movie person - the two hour format does not do it for me. I am, however, a trivia lover and podcast person, and therefore three people talking about a movie for almost as long as the actual movie is the perfect vehicle for me. The hosts are engaging, fun, smart, and interesting. I love their segments and perspectives. It’s a well-organized and well-produced affair! Great job guys!

But this podcast is really amazing for all the background stuff they add about the films and the people involved in them! Also re the biopic question: there is a Charles Darwin biopic, called Creation and starring Paul Bettany. It was pretty good, but a little bizarre.

Best Pick is a great companion for your journey through the Academy Award Best Picture winners. Great reviews, coupled with Academy history and film facts, makes for a very entertaining and educational podcast. Recommend to all film fanatics, whether you're an Oscar watcher or not.

❤️ this podcast. The hosts are lovely, engaging, knowledgeable, & fun. If you are a movie fan, this podcast is a must. It’s about so much more than the Best Picture Oscar, it’s an entertaining movie history class.

Have been binging out on this one. Delightful if you love movies. They do the historical context of the particular Oscar ceremony, the movie industry that year and the making of the film. They are funny and smart and and the commentary is intelligent and entertaining.

Highly entertaining and well structured. The three engaging hosts break down each Best Picture winner and give us great context on what is going on in Hollywood and the rest of the world at the time. Highly recommend it.

i love this podcast. i can’t wait for each new episode. the voices alone are great to listen to and the hosts drop so much knowledge you begin to feel like a film expert yourself.

I was told of this podcast via another movie podcast and I absolutely love this show. One of my life goals is to watch every best picture winner and to have three wonderful people go on a journey of there own is fantastic. Worth listening to each and every episode.

Wonderful podcast I’m hooked! Intelligent conversation about films! Everyone is knowledgeable and on point!

Great voices and commentary.
