Failed Critics (2012-2019 episodes)
Failed CriticsFailed Critics is home to the slightly shambolic weekly film podcast, where each week we review new theatrical releases, as well as revisit classics (and not-so-classics), trawl through film news, and even chat with the odd special guest.

Like buses, you wait for three years and then two come along at once, overcharge you, and make you late for work. Or something. Released at almost the exact same time as the previous episode, because why wait? This time, it's just Steve and Owen talk... more

Apple Podcasts5murphysbordomUnited Kingdom11 years ago - Audio nightmare
I havent listened to more than 5 minutes yet but im immediately concerned about the audio quality, its going to be difficult to listen to, maybe consider investing at least 50 pounds each on a blue snowball usb microphone each. But im looking forward to listening, ill give 5* for now just to help you out.
Apple Podcasts5Sam0497United Kingdom11 years ago - Mrs
A bunch of blokes musing about their favourite and least favourite films. Not pretentious but earnest discussion of cinema. Their range of films is very wide and varied. So many unexpected recomendations it can be overwhelming. I appreciate the little break before the spoilers. I would love to sit down and talk film over a coffee with these guys.
Apple Podcasts5RedSparrow5United Kingdom12 years ago - Very Good

Apple Podcasts5betterbobbetUnited Kingdom12 years ago - Great Stuff
Have recently started listening to the show and I have to say it is brilliant. The guys have the perfect balance of serious reviews and light hearted comedy and it comes across really well. Looking forward to 2013 and the show very much.
Apple Podcasts5SteakheedUnited Kingdom13 years ago - Big bag of win
It's funny, it's smart and its accurate and most of all they're not even making money from this. Get involved. Failed Critics is the movie-pod for the everyman cinema lover
Apple Podcasts5MetzGamingUnited Kingdom13 years ago - No Fail
With Kermode spending his time lauding rubbish teeny vamp trash, having love-ins with celebrity "friends" and groaning about 3D in a tedious loop, I really needed a decent film podcast. This fits the bill. Reasonably smart without being smartass. Worth a listen.
