The best podcasts about movies and television — reviews, recaps, behind-the-scenes interviews, and deep dives into the shows and films everyone is talking about.
3 film & tv podcasts — the big names
Every podcast on WhichPodcast is ranked using WP Score — our own proprietary algorithm that weighs audience reach, episode consistency, cross-platform presence, and listener engagement signals across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Unlike single-platform metrics, WP Score reflects a show's true footprint across the entire podcast landscape. The film & tv podcasts above are the highest-scoring shows in this genre right now, updated regularly as new data comes in.
