Love this podcast! Hopefully the audio quality begins to improve soon tho. Update: It hasn’t.

I’m obsessed with this podcast. I have loved and admired Cate’s work for years, and this podcast feels like having a friend that finally gets it! I’m not as well versed on film analysis, so I love hearing all the critical thoughts and reviews on the stories along with how Blanchett works with the dialogue and the story she’s presented! It gives me more to think about, and also makes admire her more! Thanks for putting this together!❤️

How could you miss Carol!?

I’m a Blanchett obsessive, and am SO glad I found this gem! Murtada does his homework — he’s clearly an intellectual with a PhCate and he wrangles intelligent guests who come to the interview having done their own thoughtful research. Every episode contains a little epiphany about a film I’ve seen dozens of times. I adore it. I was so glad to see new episodes in my feed again. Thank you for the effort and time it takes to put something this high quality into the world. Gonna go watch NOAS for the 383727th time...

Love the scope of the content, the conversations and the guests, but the sound is so echoey that it detracts from an otherwise enjoyable listen.

An essential podcast for diehards of THEE essential actress of our time. Happy birthday, Murtada!

Murtada is such a joyous host and pulls together a fun group of guests! The discussions are always nuanced and interesting, especially when examining the lesser seen films!

Murtada hosts a great show with both interesting guests, and astute critical observations. Come for the Cate, but stay for the intellectual analysis of one of the world’s most prolific actors!

It’s great to hear fellow people who care about Cate and share their feelings and thoughts about her movies. Love it!!

Murtada’s passion for Blanchett is infectious! What a lovely addition to the podcast universe, finally a show about what to love, rather than what to dislike. Bravo, Murtada!

So much fun. Love that it feels like a real, honest conversation. Not sugar coated. Good rapport between them too.
