Jack Black Podcasts

Jack Black receives surprisingly little coverage in these podcasts. Only two episodes put his name in the title; elsewhere, he tends to surface inside conversations about a particular movie, game adaptation, or television project. The useful choice is between those rare direct treatments and broader ensemble discussions where he shares the frame.

The two direct routes

The liveliest starting point is Get Played’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Podcast with Jack Black, Benny Safdie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Keegan Michael Key, Chris Pratt, Charlie Day and Donald Glover. Get Played brings a rapid-fire panel dynamic: overlapping jokes, affectionate mockery, gaming references, and digressions that may become the real attraction. With a title that crowded, expect Black to be one participant in a deliberately busy conversation.

Based on a True Crime offers the sharper contrast. Jack Black's Bernie & the Real Bernie Tiede places him inside a film-and-true-crime comparison, pairing the movie directly with the person behind its story. It is the clearest option for listeners seeking something more focused than promotional chatter or franchise banter.

Around the Mario movies

Several shows mention Black while reviewing Mario films, but their episode titles frame the movie as the subject. Talk From Superheroes brings an orderly review structure to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: an initial verdict, plot discussion, then spoilers, all carried by an analytical but playful duo.

The Franchise covers The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in a messier, joke-first style. Its hosts habitually delay the main discussion with pop-culture tangents, trivia checks, and quick arguments before arriving at a take. Talking at the Movies is similarly conversational but more immediately reactive; 479: The Drama & The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Reviews!!! promises fast back-and-forth rather than a sustained study of any one cast member.

These are worthwhile if the film is your real interest. For Jack Black specifically, they amount to supporting coverage.

Side doors and passing mentions

The Withering Effect - Minecraft and Hytale approaches movie adaptations from a relaxed gaming-show perspective in Episode 188: A Minecraft Movie: From Block to Big Screen with Andrew and Episode 187: Chicken Jockey Chaos: A Minecraft Movie Review. Its leisurely, lightly rambling style suits listeners who enjoy technical and everyday detours, though Black is only part of the surrounding conversation.

Television offers one intriguing edge case. The Pilot's Club discusses Heat Vision & Jack with its usual brisk, analysis-forward exchange about what a pilot is doing and whether its ideas could sustain a series. The title does not identify Black outright, so treat this as a project-centered route rather than a personal profile.

Where to start

Choose Get Played’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Podcast with Jack Black, Benny Safdie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Keegan Michael Key, Chris Pratt, Charlie Day and Donald Glover for energetic ensemble chaos. Try Based on a True Crime’s Jack Black's Bernie & the Real Bernie Tiede for the most concentrated treatment. If you want a conventional movie review where Black enters as part of the cast discussion, Talk From Superheroes’ The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the cleanest on-ramp.
