  • Usual Kermode excellence.

    Great guests, great chat, the usual wit and intelligence from Mark Kermode. It’s just a shame that Jack Howard is, well, Jack Howard (who tries to keep everyone amused by joking about age gaps while stumbling around like a Muppet Baby until he hits a talking point that can allow him to mention Star Wars, the MCU, or Quentin Tarantino).

  • Sad this is lost due to the Take cash grab

    This was a great podcast. Very different to wittertainment but just as great.

    So sad we’ve lost both to whatever the new Take subscription is.

  • Great podcast

    Kermode is great, but I have to admit that I skip the Jack Howard episodes. I just find him a bit cocky and unpleasant. I much prefer Kermode’s partnership with Ellen E Jones on the other Kermode podcast!
