Creator Influence

Sean Plumridge

Based in Ontario, Canada, Film Junk is led by Sean Plumridge, Frank Kroulow, and documentary filmmaker Jay Cheel. Holding the Guinness World Record for the longest-running independent movie podcast, the trio produces weekly film reviews and the Film Junk Retro Review series, focusing on theatrical releases and physical media preservation. Their format emphasizes a conversational, often cynical approach to cinema, moving between mainstream blockbusters and boutique label discoveries from the Criterion Collection or Arrow Video. The group recently marked a significant professional milestone with the release of the retrospective documentary 20 Years of Film Junk, which coincided with their 1000th episode. Beyond their flagship audio program, they produce video-centric content including the Trekkie Tour and live-streamed commentary sessions. Their critical style is informed by their background in the Ontario video store scene and Jay Cheel’s professional experience directing the Shudder series Cursed Films, making them a reliable resource for deep dives into film history.
