Men on Film Podcast
Hosted by Adam Bowers
Three comedians and filmmakers review movies, from forgotten deep-cuts to classics, often veering into long, humorous, and personal tangents.
A film review show where the hosts' freewheeling, tangent-filled conversation is the main event. While they analyze film history, themes, and performances, the show is equally about their comedic chemistry and bizarre hypotheticals. In one notable episode, they reviewed a fictional, unreleased movie as if it were a real, critically-acclaimed film, demonstrating their unique, premise-driven approach to comedy.
“The show's commitment to a bit is its most distinctive feature, highlighted by their episode reviewing a fictional film. Unlike more structured review shows, their monthly themes guide them through an eclectic mix of movies, and their willingness to derail the conversation for a comedic tangent or to Google a fact mid-show sets them apart.”

Notable episodes

The episode begins with the hosts explaining they had to re-record after losing the original, providing a meta-commentary on their own process and dedication, before diving into a complex David Mamet film.
- 03294 - Quiz Show (1994) The Rich Geniuses Are Here
Highlights the show's ability to blend film analysis with discussions of broader themes like class, ethnicity (Jewish vs. WASP), and integrity, all while maintaining a comedic tone.
