Can anyone recommend a good way to learn about film theory / analysis?
Maybe a book, video or podcast series?
thanks

Manhunter is a great place to start

Understanding Movies by Louis Giannetti. If you don't want to purchase the newest edition (it's used in a lot of college film classes so it is not cheap), you can probably find an older edition through a library or on-line (for cheap).

Cool. Found a not-too-old-edition for $5 on amazon.

I personally liked the Frankenhooker and Shock Treatment eps.

just listened to the one they did on Battle Royale. Pretty good.
