Podcast Description
Dan Slevin, Simon Werry and Kailey Carruthers host a weekly guide to what's on at the movies - in New Zealand and around the world. Featuring reviews of all the latest releases and festivals, plus news and interviews, giveaways and competitions. Cinematica is also the home of "the two-word review." We love going to the pictures, so this podcast is all about the flicks. You won't find anything here here about DVD, home video, on demand or anything like that. Cinematica is all about going out and sharing the big screen experience with others.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
I am eagerly awaiting the next installment! Thanks
Great Podcast
I find this podcast both entertaining and informative. With their mixture of great interviews, off the cuff banter and all the movie news one ever needs it is obvious that the people involved both know what they are talking about and enjoy talking about it!
Dan is great as the leader, his direction and knowledge second to none and I enjoy hearing his opinions the most, however the contest is very tight and Simon and Kailey both offer something to the podcast making it well rounded.
Two word review: Oscar worthy!
Fantastic film podcast
An entertaining, witty, and informative poscast about film which matches the New Zealand cinema release schedule. The show often has great guests who add their own special knowledge to the discussions. I love that the hosts aren't afraid to express their love or disdain for films. Great review of The Darkest Hour in episode 14. I highly recommend film lovers check this out
