    Great film podcast!
    Im always excited to see a new episode of Cows in the Field show up in my queue. Enjoyable discussions on philosophical themes in movies from people who enjoy film. Love the guests too!

    Terrific podcast for thoughtful engagement with film
    Consistently insightful and thought-provoking discussions of interesting films from a variety of genres. I find the conversations deepen my understanding of the particular films discussed, and demonstrate how to thoughtfully engage with film and popular media in a serious, but approachable way.

    A Favorite
    Love this show and the thoughtful way that they take movies seriously. High in my rotation, along with Blank Check, Bloodhouse, and This Had Oscar Buzz.

    Movie lovers will rejoice!
    The Khoos discuss the interesting and novel aspects of films with vim and vigor. Critics and casual moviegoers will enjoy the round table talks that dive into the themes, backstories, exquisite scenes, and technical achievements of these movies. Open an episode and get yourself ready for some ear candy!

    Cow party!
    (I used to loudly exclaim, “cow party”! whenever I saw cows in a field as a kid so why not now?) Highly recommend the episode on Midsommar with Emily VanDerWerff where she offers a trans reading of the film. Loved hearing everyone’s different perspectives and interpretations.

    Best podcast ever
    Wow! As an avid podcast listener, I wasn’t sure if I had room in my queue for a new podcast...but this...this is more than just a podcast, it’s an experience. The hosts’ banter offers witty and thoughtful interpretations and critiques of the movies they review. 10 out of 5 stars! If these two aren’t professional movie critics or at least in the industry, they should be! Their melodic voices will offer us all hope during these trying times. Please review some fun 90s teen movies for those of us with less sophisticated taste!
