About This Podcast

What if a podcast let numbers decide the conversation? In Film By Numbers, each episode is inspired by its episode number—so Episode 7 could deep-dive into Se7en and the films of David Fincher, while Episode 13 might explore Friday the 13th and horror superstition. Where will it take us next? We have no idea—but that’s what makes it fun! Join us for unexpected cinematic discussions, deep dives into film history, and a journey guided entirely by the numbers. 🎧 Subscribe now & let’s roll the dice! #FilmByNumbers #MoviePodcast #CinematicNumbers
