  • The such-and-such for your something

    The genial Martyn Darkly & enigmatic Gentleman Joe, occasionally with the help of guest reviewers, offer their thoughts on movies they've not seen in some time. After attempts to recall facts about the movies (accurate as often as they are not), they watch the film and then return to discuss it.

Being an ‘I know what I like’ type of guy when it came to films I was after advice on watching something different………enter ISTYA.

It helps you to keep your mind on storytelling and their discussions help you think about your own story. You don’t need to watch the movies they discuss which is a big plus as well. When I was shopping for a movie podcast in the end of 2020, I listened to their Cobra review and they said something like “I don’t feel well today, this might have affected my opinion” and I thought “these gu... more

  • Very enjoyable

    Not too overlong, this podcast has two guys - one of whom has a very infectious laugh - talking about what they remember about childhood films and then actually watching it again to discuss it in the present day. Enjoyable.

  • In my top podcasts

    These guys are really funny and have interesting commentary on the films they review. It’s really worth your time and if you’re an American like me, let me assure you that THIS is that British humor you always hear so much about.
