"I drink your milkshake!! *slurp*"
I visited Podcast.com and did a search for movie reviews. I found in this search National Public Radio's Movies podcast. This podcast compiles movie reviews each week from it's many daily shows, including Fresh Air & Day to Day. This last week's podcast was just over 30 minutes, and included clips from six shows from 2/22-2/29.
I really like having these compiled together and having them in one easy to listen to file. The thing I dislike about it, is there is no way to easily forward to the next show's review. Instead, I had to just grab the status bar and fast forward the clip, hoping I didn't go too far. Also, there was a lot of overlap in what movies were being reviewed. The big one was The Other Boleyn Girl - 3 different reviews were on it, and they all pretty much lambasted the film; they all said the same things and maked similar observations.
When I listened to this podcast, I did so right from the Podcast.com search engine, but once it was over, I followed the link to the NPR: Movies website. I am happy to see there that I can listen to individual reviews here! I have subscribed to this podcast, & look forward to hearing more about film from it.
(In case you're wondering...the quote that opened this post is from Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. It was discussed in one of the reviews in this week's podcast!)

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for the comment regarding Podcast.com. I'm glad you were able to find a "thing" you were interested in! I agree it would be nice to be able to jump to a section of a show (in this case, to the next review) that you'd want to listen to. It's not a simple thing to do, because first you need the technology to add the section marsk (not all that hard) but you also need someone to mark the areas of interest within a podcast (would NPR do that? takes a lot of time). Anyway, I like your blog and glad you found some use for our site.
Best,
Justin
