Do more with IMPDB
Everything below comes with a free account, about ten seconds to create, no email, no password, just a passkey. Each feature is quiet until you use it, so here's what's actually on offer.
Follow a show
Follow a podcast and its episodes pin to the top of every movie page you visit: wherever your favourite show covered the film, it's the first thing you see instead of somewhere in a long list. In your feeds, followed shows sort first too.
Where:The Follow button on any podcast's page, right under the title. Every show you follow is listed under Shows on your account.
Hide a show
The mirror image: hide a podcast and its episodes disappear from movie pages, the homepage and every feed of yours, for you only; everyone else still sees them. Good for shows you've decided just aren't for you.
Where:The quiet "Hide this show" control under the Follow button on a podcast's page. Undo it there, or from the Hidden list under Shows on your account.
Hiding a show you were following unfollows it; following a hidden show unhides it. The two are exclusive by design.
Filter by language
Podcasts declare a language, and IMPDB detects it per-episode where feeds mix. Tick one or more languages on your account and movie pages, the homepage and your feeds show only episodes in those languages. Untick everything to see it all, which is also what every anonymous visitor gets.
Where:The Languages grid on your account page. Saved once, applied everywhere, remembered across visits.
Follow a movie in your podcast app
Every movie has its own podcast feed: subscribe once and new episodes that are actually about that film land in your queue, next to the shows you already listen to. Films you follow are collected under My movies on your account.
Where:The Follow button on any movie page, under the poster. Setup per app (Overcast, Pocket Casts, Apple Podcasts) is on the movie feeds page.
Your Letterboxd diary as one feed
Rather than following films one at a time, connect your Letterboxd username and create a single feed that carries the episodes about every film you log. Log a film tonight; the podcasts about it are in your queue by the morning, dated like your diary. Your recent watches also appear on the homepage, only for you.
Where:Your account page, once a Letterboxd username is saved. Details on the movie feeds page.
The feed URL is a private token: anyone holding it can read the feed, so reset it from your account if it ever leaks.
Skip a film in your Letterboxd feed
Not every film you log deserves a podcast. Skip one and its episodes drop out of your Letterboxd feed, freeing the room for films you actually want to hear about. A rewatch stays skipped. You can also set a rating floor: only films you gave three stars or more, say, and the duds never reach the feed in the first place. Unrated films always count as in.
Where:The "Skip in feed" control on any film's page, under the Follow button, once a Letterboxd username is saved. The rating floor lives next to your Letterboxd username on your account page, and every skipped film is listed there too, one tap to put it back.
What changes on IMPDB: Skipping is about the feed only. The film stays on your diary shelf on the homepage, marked as skipped, and its page and search results are untouched. The rating floor reads the stars you gave on Letterboxd, so change a rating there and the feed follows. Both settings are yours alone; the films and episodes look the same to everyone else.
How your podcast app handles it: Your app picks up the change on its next refresh, usually within an hour. Episodes it has already downloaded or started stay until you delete them; the feed can stop offering an episode, but it can't reach into the app and take it back. Overcast and Pocket Casts drop the undownloaded ones quietly on refresh; Apple Podcasts can take a few refreshes to catch up.
Feeds that know your settings
Signed in, a followed movie's Follow panel shows your personal feed URL instead of the shared one. It honours your language filter and your hidden shows, and stays current if you change either, with no extra parameters and nothing to resubscribe.
Power users can still steer any feed by hand: ?segments=1 includes episodes where the movie is a major segment, ?lang=en,pl picks languages (lang=all for every language). Works on movie feeds and your Letterboxd feed alike.
Delete your account any time from the account page; it removes the passkey registration, follows, hides and settings with it.
