Feelin' Film is a completed film conversation show shaped by friendship, memory, and the belief that a movie review can be honest without becoming sour. Aaron and Patrick approach each title through feeling first, then work outward into scenes, performances, genre patterns, music, audience experience, and the odd detail that only shows up after a rewatch. The tone is relaxed. The opinions are still real. A movie can be silly, uneven, overstuffed, or historically dubious, and the hosts will still try to name the part that makes it worth talking about.
Recent episodes show the range clearly. National Treasure and Book of Secrets become a conversation about adventure tropes, fake-but-delightful history lessons, travelogue pleasures, and the specific joy of a treasure hunt that knows exactly what it is. Bloodsport gives them room to laugh through underground tournament logic, training montages, swords, spectators, and the kind of eighties action rhythm that makes no practical sense but still lands. Major League turns into a discussion of sports-movie structure, Cleveland melancholy, comedy, music, baseball fandom, and why the film feels less like pure slapstick than memory might suggest. Rad gets treated as both a BMX oddity and a sincere sports movie, with affection for its strange details and full commitment to its uniqueness.
The show is not limited to nostalgia. Episodes on The Boy and the Heron and Nyad bring in contemporary releases, animation, real-life accomplishment, and festival experience. FF+ entries, including Aaron White's top films of 2023, widen the format into personal recommendations and year-end reflection. The final retrospective makes the larger shape plain: this was a long conversation between two best friends, built over hundreds of episodes, about how movies connect to people.
Feelin' Film works best when the hosts take the long way around. A quick joke becomes a genre point. A side memory becomes a larger argument about why a film still works. The result is warm, specific movie talk for people who like criticism with a pulse.
Made for: Best suited to movie fans who enjoy generous but opinionated conversations about genre favorites, new releases, nostalgia picks, and emotional takeaways. It especially fits listeners who prefer thoughtful back-and-forth over harsh scorekeeping.
What sets it apart: Feelin' Film stands apart by treating emotional response as the center of criticism, not an afterthought. Aaron and Patrick can be candid about what falls short while still looking for the scene, song, joke, or memory that makes a film matter.
Welcome to Feelin' Film. Aaron and Patrick embark on a quest to change the tone of film criticism, one movie review at a time. Discussion on main episodes is family friendly and centered around positive takeaways and emotional experience more than technical merit. We believe that all art is worthy of some praise and every movie makes us feel something. On FF+, Aaron reviews new releases and upcoming films - offering spoiler-free thoughts on the things he liked, the things he didn't, and whether he believes a film is worth your time and money. He also interviews filmmakers, hosts trivia and other fun games, and makes an assortment of recommendations from time to time.Tune in and join the conv…
