    I miss you
    I LOVE and MISS this podcast. It is so in depth with movies. Revealing different perspectives on movies I would never even think about watching. Particularly the exorcist. I consider movies and tv shows to be my friends. I’m a recluse. I want more content like this.

    Undeniably awesome
    Really helpful because people get more passionate about movies not that many people have seen, so you get to hear people’s passion get bottled up over time and then released on the podcast!

    Sorry to see you go :(
    This is such a smart and thoughtful movie podcast. A truly refreshing change from the countless outputs by critic bros. I’m very sad it’s ended.

    Movies & all the feels
    I’m sorry this podcast has ended! I will miss the thoughtful and often personal conversations Lily had with so many unique guests. Thank you to the TMCM team. This list of movies is one I plan to watch selections from often.

    I wish there were more episodes!
    I am very late to this podcast and its original, winning premise. Even more than her voice, which is soothing and lovely, Lily offers excellent observations and analysis and elicits the same from her guests. I wish there were more episodes.

    Hate to see it end!
    This has been a great podcast that has matured over the years. I really hate to see it end. I have a new appreciation and perspective for movies I’ve seen in the past. Thank you. Lily - can’t wait to see what you do next!

    This podcast gives me Hope!
    I’m a screenwriter and just recently stumbled upon this podcast. It is so rejuvenating to listen to how the work we do, as storytellers & filmmakers, has inspired people. We always hope that this is what we’re doing, but sometimes you can get wrapped up in the every day toil or struggle, and lose sight of the higher purpose behind it. To hear that great films make an everlasting impact, and can have meaning throughout one’s life? That gives this screenwriter Hope.

    Thank You! I have missed you
    SO BLESSED TO SEE YOU HAVE RETURNED! I have missed the adventure into new perspectives, different mindsets, empathy, & wisdom that this podcast delivers. I’m very excited for this new season.

    Thank you for bringing this beautiful movie back to life for us.... Your soulful review made me cry, in a good way!
  • buggynan
    Welcome back!
    I was so excited to hear that one of my favorite podcast was coming back after being away too long. At the same time sad to hear it might be the last season. No other movie loving podcast compares to this one in my opinion.

    So excited!

  • Biddyarie
    Lovely podcast but please stop humming
    Love this and will keep listening...but I am getting tired of hearing the hostess humm and mumble reactions whenever a guest is speaking.
  • Gayle Allen
    Terrific Podcast
    Lily, thank you for creating such an inspiring and wonderful podcast. Such a creative concept! I can't wait until the next season.
  • Dave Will Lloyd
    This Movie Changed Me
    Seriously wonderful.. thoughtful and aspirational exploration of who we are and how movies can be a mirror or prism that can help shape us. Love listening every week.

    Top Favorite Podcast! Tender, Funny, and Wise.
    Lily Percy's interviews dance magically between tender authenticity, deep wisdom, and light-hearted reminiscing. This podcast deftly captures the exquisite experience of being human and the power of film to simultaneously capture our story and transform us. For all the times we've been glued to our seats at the end of a movie, entranced by cinematic alchemy reminding us of something deep within--something we seek to forget or desperately want to remember. I also love the refreshing diversity of Percy's guests and invitations to watch new films. A must listen!
  • ColoradoMom7
    Such a fresh concept!
    Great job on this podcast! Keep going.... there are so many films that have affected us and changed us... and even completely challenged our way of thinking. Thank you!
  • Bluegrass Educator
    From the heart & the mind
    A wonderful podcast featuring discussions of movies that change us and that stick with us through the years. It gives me profound appreciation for movies I know and has opened the door to movies I don’t yet know. Thank you to all involved in producing this!
  • Barry975
    This Movie Changed Me
    I am impressed with this podcast. I thought it would be just popular movies and mundane reviews (like the podcast that explores movie music). However, the reviewersand host are people who have a not only have a strong connection to their movie but the insight and, education and experience (writers, composers, etc) to articulte it. I was a film studies major in college and am a movie buff. I like that I'm learning so many interesting things about movies I've seen and others I now want to. I especially appreciate that the podcast includes foreign films, classics, a wide range of styles, periods and interests. This Movie Changed Me has become one of my favorites! What a good idea it is!
  • alix jane
    So worth it
    This podcast has been a companion on long drives and flights. The production value is even better on season two. It’s such a pure expression of how we find our stories in film and how film influences the stories we tell ourselves.
  • Visantulop
    Fantastic
    What a surprise to find such a jewel of a show !!!! I deeply connect with movies and listening to the show I find myself growing in my understanding of the movies. Great interviews and great movies !
  • tippytf
    Now, Voyager is CLASSIC, and I than Jade Bastien for talking about it!!!
    I loved this podcast touching on my very favorite movie by my very favorite actress, Bette Davis! I know it's about an affair, but the underlying theme is about a woman who was repressed and depressed because of their relationship with her mother. The most brilliant moment to me was when her mother threatens to stop financially supporting her, and Charlotte blurts out: "I'm not afraid, mother." Then she said to herself in a whisper in a bit of awe: "I'm not afraid." Her transformation is inward as well as inward. She had to come to terms with the stigma of being single at a 'certain age,' of finding her place in the world outside of being part of one of the richest families in her town. It is beautiful, and is an homage to those who have struggled mentally with body dysmorphia to the point of anorexia; feelings of being too ugly to be loved; and other feelings of worthlessness. It lets one know that it's okay to seek help with those issues, and that you can have fulfilling life if you do get that help.

    PLEASE Do More Episodes
    A friend of mine told me about this podcast, but by the time she discovered it and told me about it I was too late. I still listened to the episodes and hope this show comes back with more. I have a growing number of movies that have been significantly formative for me and love hearing from others who can relate by hearing their stories.

    This Movie Changed me
    I loved !!!! This podcast,, is it no longer available? If so ,, my heart is broken 😞
  • m for liz
    giving culture its due
    I love this podcast! Just the right dose of playful, esoteric conversation but with an edge of actual reality. I love the dignity it affords different cultural pieces like Interstellar and Boyhood to act less as didactic, white-centered narratives and more like allegories - there’s a lesson here, about how we can all move forward and use film as a way to do so - please keep making these!
  • msG720
    Please bring this podcast back!!!!
    I love this podcast! Savored every episode. It’s what introduced me to the amazing on being network! Please bring this show back!! I love revisiting movies through a critical lens or totally new movies to me. It is quite amazing to her the host, Lily Percy’s perspective as well as each guest’s love and passion for these films. 💕💕 thank you!
  • E. Joyce

    WANT MORE....please?! Thank you
  • AlwaysonPAR
    Glad I found this podcast
    Really love the range of guests and films discussed. The episode on Kill Bill Vol 2 made me want to revisit the film and see The Bride through some different lenses. I can’t wait for the next season.
  • Powerdmoney
    Incredible!
    This is a great podcast! So much fun and a great way to remember movies!

    Breath of fresh air
    This podcast is a wonderful reminder of humanity in between all the news headlines I've been taking in. Thank you for a welcomed breath of fresh air!
  • ilbishop7
    Thank you!
    I absolutely love this podcast. I love the episodes on the movies I have seen because my love of it is reaffirmed, and I learn more about my favorite movies. But I also love the episodes on movies I haven’t seen because I get to add new movies to my watchlist and I am opened up to movies I probably wouldn’t have heard of or watched otherwise. Thank you so much for creating this podcast. It’s like home to me, honestly. It makes me want to write and talk about all the movies that have changed me.
  • kelsey2325
    Awesome
    Love this show! The host is so great and I love the integration of quotations and music from the movies. Really excited for more!
  • MaxPowers8810
    Amazing
    I love the concept. I’ve always thought movies can inspire and help people grow. Keep it up!
  • Gila girls
    Cheering
    I too wanted to cheer her on! Interesting is the fact I’m 64 years old I loved this movie! She is strong in a number of ways. I just found this, will be checking for more.
  • JulesYenn
    A ray of sunshine!
    I’ll admit that a lot of the podcasts I listen to are serious in nature, especially now with so much bad news. This podcast is a welcome respite when I just can’t take anymore depressing situations and just need some solid goodness in my ears. It’s nice too that the guests aren’t always super famous people. Keep up the great work!
  • mommabang
    Bingeworthy.
    I love this podcast. I just stumbled upon it so I haven’t listened to all of them, but I’m starting the binge. I was thinking about what movies have changed my life and I can think of a few. Mostly love stories, maybe a few independent films and then it hit me. CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. Have you done an episode on how a movie scarred you for life? I can’t be the only one terrified by even the thought of a film and the memories that correlate with it. 😬
  • PhoebeKinxz
    This [Podcast] Changed Me!
    Truly, a beautifully produced, intimate and honest podcast. I’ve already devoured every episode and can’t express how excited I am for the next (one of my all-time favorite films!). I can already tell I’m going to cry. 😅 Keep up the fantastic work! 😄👍
  • jamunguia25
    Honest Audio
    A raw intimacy between the host and guest. The host has to create a comfortable space for the guest to feel vulnerable and share a piece of their private life. A piece, which influenced and shaped them as artist & personal identify. I enjoy this podcast and original idea with a feel of comfort food.
  • NaiFran
    Such an inspired podcast!
    What a fun and illuminating show. I love the depth and richness with which the guests discuss their favorite movies, and their meaningful intersections with their own lives. There’s joy in hearing about the movies I also love, like “You’ve Got Mail,” and also a greater curiosity about the ones I haven’t seen.
  • Ellen Stoune
    Could not be better
    I am so in love with this podcast! Movies... they can be such pure magic sometimes, life changing magic. It is a delight to listen to others who have been touched the same way.

    Finally: grounded, real conversations about movies1
    I love movies and movie reviews, but it's not often I hear (on podcasts especially) the personal impact movies have on people and what kind of context that can give others for movie watching. This Movie Changed me distingushes itself by not simply staying in the technical parts of the movie like plot, shots and artistry: it goes straight to the meat. Host, Lily Percy does a great job drawing people out (especially in the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" episode) asking them how they changed and how their response to the movie can change along with that. I love hearing laughter and expressions of wonderment like "so good" "wow" "oooh" etc. in this podcast. That's how people actually react to movies so love that TMCM is keeping it real! If you want to learn more about any of this movies or are intrigued as to how a movie can change you – listen to this podcast! It will make you watch movies differently and compile a new, fresh "watch list." or a "rewatch list" Standouts for me include "Dan In Real Life" (which is not a RomCom despite its trappings) and "Boyhood" which thanks to ebulient poet Naoimi Shihab Nye and Lilys Percy's conviction that it is childhood in a movie: I will have to watch again. Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast!

    This podcast is changing my life.
    I love this podcast. I love the thoughtful reflections by your guests and the dissection of scenes. Please review more 80’s movies!!

    Love love love
    Hey hey big wide internet world! I just wanted to let you all know that this podcast is awesome! I’ve listen to three episodes now: Star Wars, you’ve got mail, and (as of 5 minutes ago) boyhood. This podcast is the perfect blend of pop culture and deep meaningful conversations. If you are a fan of on being, this podcast is not to be missed! Thank you so much to all of the folks working to make this podcast so awesome!
  • LaineJohnson
    Amazing Concept!
    Such a fun podcast and touching subject matter! I can’t wait for more.
  • golonks2
    Wonderful podcast
    Just stumbled across this podcast and was pleasantly surprised! I love movies and it's exciting to hear how passionate people can be about a certain one and how they connect to it. I enjoy Lily's conversations with the guests and was really touched by the last few minutes of Episode 2, in which they discuss how the movie helped them to consider what happiness is and its place in our lives. I can't wait to watch the other episodes!
  • bwethany
    Like a chat with friends
    There are plenty of film podcasts that discuss the artistic merit of a film. This one is different and much more personal answering the question - how did this film affect ME? The host and guests are so warm and friendly. It feels like a chat with good friends.

    conversations about life-changing movies
    What a great idea this podcast is! I just listened to the You've Got Mail episode and it was so fantastic. Thoughtful conversations about stories and how they shape our lives? That is entirely my jam, and now I've subscribed.
