One of the things that I've meant to do when I started this blog was to recommend Nick Digilio's show on WGN Radio 720 (Chicago). I've been listening for years and for the last couple years have mostly listened to podcasts, but I find it's one of the best radio programs out there. Digilio mostly deals with pop culture (entertainment, sports, writing, etc) and has very interesting regular segments about TV, what's coming out on DVD, even someone who tries to help people get out of parking tickets (people who feel that they have been wronged), but the crown jewel of the Nick D show (as he calls it) are the Midnight Movie Reviews.
Every Friday night at midnight, Nick and Collin Souter and Eric Childress from efilmcritic.com give their take on the week's theater and cable on-demand releases. These are comprehensive reviews of each film from three passionate film buffs. It's a great format, because frequently disagreements ensue over different movies, but three points of view are provided instead of just one. I always catch the podcast, but if there's a movie I really want to see, I wait to listen to the podcast to see how their views match up with mine.
In any case, Nick Digilio is always interesting to listen to, as he does have his strong opinions (such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off being one of the most irritating films ever made and Ferris one of the most despicable characters), but agree or disagree, it's never dull.
