Kill Reel – Details, episodes & analysis

Kill Reel isn’t just a podcast — it’s a backstage pass to the minds of filmmakers, writers, and performers who live and breathe cinema. Each week, guests from across the industry — from an HBO’s True Detective writer to character actors currently on the big screen — join host Kelly Griffin to talk about the films that shaped them. Through segments like Defend This, Now Playing (In My Brain), and Remake & Recast, we dig into the movies our guests love (even if nobody else does), explore how cinema influences their work, and reimagine what once was. Whether it’s a forgotten flop or a cult favorite, no movie is off limits — because what we watch reveals who we are. Presented by Dream 'n Stream Podcast Studios
