About This Podcast

Welcome to the Film Fury podcast. It's time to analyze movies and get mad or get glad. I'm Alan Zeitlin, an entertainment writer and film critic for more than two decades, and I'm going to take you on a deep dive into the sea of movies. What actors rose to the occasion and who fell flat? From Oppenheimer to Barbie, what film should win Oscar Gold and which should be left in the cold? Who got loved and who got snubbed? What moments will make you feel like you're watching something magical? And which will make you feel like they've been cursed? What are some film gems you haven't seen? Hop along for the ride as I break it down like Charlie Brown. Follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your shows.
