  • Cool concept, great hosts

    Excellent concept, nice range of movies and hosts are knowledgeable and likeable, would be good to see more foreign films and also they do sometimes sound a bit breathless and rushed, it’s ok to slow up a bit guys and still be true to the overall aim of the show! Would recommend to the more discerning movie lover.

    Mike and Dan, this review is for you! Another fabulous review about one of my favourite films, thank you. From the (half-Scottish) Canadian, who actually lives in London.
