A New Movie Podcast Is Coming Soon: Winners, Losers, and Lovers

A new movie and entertainment podcast is gearing up to hit the airwaves early in 2026, and it is already generating interest among film fans. The show is titled Winners, Losers, and Lovers, and it promises a lively, opinionated, and often hilarious exploration of the movies people cannot stop talking about. The hosts describe it as “the most important movie podcast we’ve ever made,” and “the only podcast you’ll ever need” a tongue in cheek statement that sets the tone for what listeners can expect.

Every episode breaks down a single movie using a format that is both structured and entertaining. The show begins with a simple one sentence summary that could be explained to a child, immediately followed by the hosts sharing their first impressions and how their views may have changed over time. From there, they decide whether the film is an Old Print, a Fresh Cut, or an Early Release, which helps frame the movie within its era. Was it out of date, of its time, or ahead of its audience? The discussion often reveals surprising shifts in perspective.

The heart of the show comes from its detailed segments that encourage deeper conversation. Listeners can expect a breakdown of favorite scenes, unexpected moments that would never fly today, and an examination of archetypes, stereotypes, and tropes that shape the stories we know. Each movie is also evaluated on the best way to watch it. Should it be a midnight movie, a relaxed matinee, a date night pick, or something that works any time?

Of course, the signature moment arrives at the end of each episode. The hosts choose the Winners of the movie, the Losers, and the Lovers, which highlight what works, what does not, and what they genuinely love about the film. The category has already become a defining feature of the show, offering an energetic wrap up that invites debate among listeners.

The hosts are friends and movie lovers, B. Luciano Barsuglia, Kenny Connolly, Andrew Kubasek, Andrew Roberts, and Kyle Roberts.

“this is the most important podcast I’ve ever produced.” – Barsuglia

Barsuglia, who serves as the pod’s moderator, says, “this is the most important podcast I’ve ever produced.” Admittedly, it’s also the first podcast he’s produced. “It’s five guys talking movies. It’s what we do when we’re together anyway, so why not turn it into something more.”

Co-host Andrew Kubasek notes, “Ever year the Internet has hundreds of movie podcasts… this is one of them.” Kubasek also reveals, “I’m just here to chew bubblegum and piss off Kyle. And I’m all out of bubblegum.”

While Andrew Roberts adds, “What’s a podcast?” and continues with, “This is a podcast? I thought we were just talkin’ movies.” And, while he usually wears the same shirt, he also says, “I put on pants for this s–t.”

Barsuglia concludes with, “If this podcast went into space and an alien species were to listen to it as its only understanding of life on Earth, I’m pretty sure they’d leave us alone.”

What sets Winners, Losers, and Lovers apart is its mix of sharp commentary and relaxed conversation. The hosts treat film analysis with respect while keeping the tone loose, fun, and accessible. They speak with the enthusiasm of friends arguing in a living room, but with the insight of people who have spent years watching and thinking about movies.

“What’s a podcast? This is a podcast?” -Andrew Roberts

The podcast aims to appeal to anyone who enjoys cinema, whether it involves big budget blockbusters, cult classics, indie standouts, or the occasional guilty pleasure. The show’s format ensures that each episode feels complete while leaving plenty of room for improvisation and unexpected tangents.

Winners, Losers, and Lovers will be available soon on all major podcast platforms, with weekly episodes set to arrive after launch. Film fans who enjoy bold opinions, spirited debate, and meaningful conversation about the movies that shape culture will want to keep this podcast on their radar.

If you love movies and conversations that are both thoughtful and entertaining, this is one podcast you will not want to miss.
