  • Bunch of negative nellys

    I’m actually mainly listening for Jack Howard - a funny, charismatic guy who knows a lot about film, strong takes, and genuinely loves it! It’s got to the point where I think he could have his own successful podcast. It’s great Mark and Jack have this chemistry, we are so divided in our generations nowadays - this dynamic is great to see. Stopped listening after Jack left, came back when I realised he was back. Still can’t believe Mark interviewed Edgar Wright without Jack!

    5⭐️ show.

  • Not even a big film buff but love this podcast

    Great chemistry with the two of them and Jack adds the perception of those who grew up on the internet (which makes a huge difference to how we view films).

  • Jack's severe lack of film knowledge and uninformed opinion combined with inexplicable self confidence is embarrassing. Desperately needs a refresh of format and contributors, Kermode used to be the best!

Jack O'Connell on 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE & SINNERS plus Ben Wheatley on BULK
Q: Do you think that coming into it through that kind of freedom has set you in good stead for the rest of your career?
For sure, yeah. I mean, Shane was my first film, and that style of filmmaking was my introduction into the business.
Jack O'Connell on 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE & SINNERS plus Ben Wheatley on BULK
Q: Are you a horror fan anyway?
Yeah, I love a bit of horror.
Jack O'Connell on 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE & SINNERS plus Ben Wheatley on BULK
Q: What is it about Bone Temple that you found compelling?
I think we had a sense that we were stepping into something that was preset, and it does have a very fascinating telling going on between my character and Rafe's character.
EE Rising Star nominees Posy Sterling & Archie Madekwe
Q: Is it difficult when someone comes up and tells you how much a performance has affected them?
It depends who it is, but it's lovely if someone says that they've been moved by your performance.
EE Rising Star nominees Posy Sterling & Archie Madekwe
Q: What do you think the film is about?
It's about parasocial relationships, male dynamics, and toxic male friendships.
