Listener sentiment
Listeners continue to overwhelmingly praise "Films To Be Buried With" for its warm, emotionally rich format that uses cinema as a lens for exploring life, death, and personal memory. Brett Goldstein is consistently celebrated as a gracious, genuinely curious interviewer who creates space for guests to be both vulnerable and funny, and many listeners credit the show with helping them through difficult times. A distinctive pattern in the reviews is that listeners frequently use the rating space to share their own deeply personal film stories — loss, family bonds, formative childhood memories — which speaks to how powerfully the show's premise resonates. The dominant criticism, recurring across reviews over an extended period and spanning multiple star levels, remains excessive advertising: reviewers describe ad breaks as lengthy, repetitive, and disruptive enough to make episodes nearly unlistenable. A smaller, more recent concern notes long gaps between new episodes and a growing reliance on reruns. Apart from these friction points, sentiment is strongly positive, with listeners particularly valuing the show's film-discovery function and the diversity and depth of its guest conversations.
