The Projection Booth

Each show contains a discussion of a single main film. Sometimes other films that complement or contrast the main topic are discussed. Often, guest interviews are included. Guests have included other podcast hosts, authors, or people with particular insights on a given film or topic, and at times, the filmmakers themselves. Episode lengths vary; many are less than an hour, but episodes have reached up to seven hours. Some of the show's most popular episodes include shows on The Magnificent Ambersons, and Conan the Barbarian. While covering a wide array of films, the show has been criticized for occasionally dedicating episodes to obscure films not available on DVD. == History ==

The podcast started when the original hosts, Mike White and Justin Bozung, were driving from Detroit to the 2010 B Movie Celebration in Franklin, Indiana and discussing their favorite, and least favorite, film podcasts. Bozung left the show after the Hickey & Boggs episode. After a series of guest co-hosts, Rob St. Mary became a semi-permanent co-host. St. Mary's first full-time show was the episode on Frankenhooker. He left his full-time spot following the episode on Shadow of a Doubt. The Projection Booth has been highlighted by The Washington Post, The A.V. Club, IndieWire, Entertainment Weekly, Filmmaker, and Mental Floss as one of the best film and movie podcasts available. Though not specifically a horror film podcast, The Projection Booth has been nominated multiple times for the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards. == Hosts ==
