Movie Talk is broadcast live on Youtube every weekday. Usually 3-5 different members of the panel share their perspective on any given topic, including film reviews and industry news. Movie Talk occasionally includes celebrity interviews. Each episode is typically an hour in length. Mondays' episode covers the weekend box office gross and speculation on future ratings. Tuesdays' and Thursdays' episodes introduce new movies to be released the following weekend. Fridays' episode includes a "Box Office Prediction", where panelists predict the top 5 grossing movies of that weekend. A segment called "Buy or Sell" happens around the halfway point in each episode, where the panel discusses whether they see certain topics or announcements as favorable. Each episode covers eight different topics in each podcast, and the show typically ends with questions from a live audience through a Twitter chatroom. Mailbag is a separate segment where the panel discuss fan mail, questions, and insight provided by viewers. Usually 2 Mailbag questions are answered before the live questions on Movie Talk, and there are separate Mailbag videos on weekends.
