The Big Picture podcast is a must-listen for anyone who loves movies. Every Tuesday and Friday, hosts Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins review the latest films you need to see and have in-depth discussions on movie-related topics such as the Oscars, top 5 lists, and movie drafts. With a rotating cast of Ringer colleagues, including Chris Ryan, Van Lathan, and Bill Simmons, each episode features entertaining and informative conversations about the world of cinema. From blockbuster hits to indie darlings, Sean and Amanda discuss the latest releases and offer their unique perspectives on the film industry. Episodes last around one and a half hours, so you'll have plenty of time to dive deep into each topic and come away with a better understanding of the movies that matter. The Big Picture is a TV & film podcast by The Ringer.
