Support Now Playing Podcast
Since 2007, Now Playing Podcast has been your go-to source for free, in-depth movie reviews, fueled by a passion for cinema and storytelling.
And since January 2011, we’ve kept an unbroken promise: delivering a brand-new, free review every single week, rain or shine. That’s over a decade of consistent content crafted with care, enthusiasm, and dedication.
But here’s the truth: while these episodes are free for you to enjoy, they’re not free for us to create. Behind every episode is a dedicated team working tirelessly to bring you the high-quality shows you love.
To stay independent, we’ve chosen to forgo sponsors and ads, relying entirely on listener support. It’s fans like you who make it possible for Now Playing Podcast to keep the lights on, the mics recording, and the reviews coming.
If you value what we do, your support ensures we can continue delivering the content you love—week after week, year after year. Together, we can keep Now Playing thriving.
Our Current Bonus Reviews:
New Retrospectives for Summer/Fall 2025
Returning series ***IMPORTANT NOTE: Jurassic Park: Rebirth WILL NOT be reviewed this summer. This donation only gives you access to our older Jurassic Park reviews. If you donate now, you WILL get the Jurassic Park: Rebirth review at no extra cost when we eventually cover it. But to be crystal clear, there is no scheduled date for that review.
Please don’t donate expecting a new Rebirth review right away.***

Biannual Donation Drives
Looking to support Now Playing Podcast with a one-time pledge instead of a monthly commitment? Our Donation Drives are perfect for you!
Twice a year—in the Spring and Fall—you can make a single donation directly to us through PayPal. In return, you’ll receive exclusive bundles of “Thank You” bonus podcasts. The more you pledge, the more podcasts you unlock!
Here’s how it works:
- After making your donation, we’ll send you an email with instructions to access your bonus shows. (Please note, since these are processed manually, it may take up to two business days.)
- The podcast bundles change with each drive, so there’s always something new to enjoy!
While these bonus shows are also available at higher support tiers on Patreon and Podbean, Donation Drives are focused exclusively on one-time contributions and don’t include monthly Patron-exclusive episodes.
Support us during a Donation Drive, and get a curated collection of incredible content while helping us keep Now Playing going strong!
