There is a fairly unknown (in my experience) but absolutely amazing podcast about storytelling called The Narrative Breakdown (https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-narrative-breakdown-story-craft-in-creative-writing-screenwritingyoung https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-narrative-breakdown-story-...) . They cover many different aspects of what makes stories work or not work and apply their analyses to a variety of well known films. I highly recommend The Power of Irony episode if you're looking for a place to start.
