The '00s Zone
This is a podcast that looks back at the movies of the '00s, and tries to make sense of that seemingly culturally faceless first decade of the new millennium. It's hosted by screenwriter, filmmaker, and sometimes critic Mark Palermo (Detention) and actor Loretta Yu (Blood and Water, Diggstown). Sometimes there are guests (also of some renown).
