How To Be A Movie Snob

What started as a few friends having a drink, talking movies, and trying to figure out what makes them tick somehow turned into a full-blown podcast. How to Be a Movie Snob is for everyone from casual movie watchers to full-on film nerds. We take a closer look at what makes movies work—direction, acting, editing, cinematography, storytelling, and everything in between—without all the film-school snobbery. This week, we get our hands on another screener: Bolivia’s submission for the 99th Academy Awards, The Condor Daughter. Directed by Álvaro Olmos Torrico and beautifully photographed by cinematographer Nicolás Wong Díaz, the film follows a young midwife apprentice as she navigates the traditions of her home while facing a rapidly changing modern society. The Condor Daughter offers a fascinating glimpse into Bolivian culture and a story that many audiences may never otherwise have the opportunity to experience. We dig into the filmmaking, performances, cinematography, and the cultural themes that make this film stand out. Come for the movie insights. Stay for the chaos. 🎙️ New episodes almost every week.

Welcome to the very first episode of our new director deep-dive series (title still very much TBD). In this episode, we're diving into the career of one of the most influential filmmakers of all time: Steven Spielberg. Is it snobby to spend an entire episode dissecting one of the most famous directors ever? Maybe. But that's never stopped us before. From Jaws to E.T. (and plenty more in between), we're exploring Spielberg's signature style, the techniques that define his films, and why his work has had such a lasting impact on cinema. So grab your favorite drink, take a Jawsome journey with us, and don't forget to phone home. 🎬 Who's this for?
