  • Best New Podcast!

    These two hosts have an unmatched chemistry! They ask amazing questions and their American and British point of views really help unite lovers of British culture and cinema. They provide great insights into the intersections of how American amd British culture influence one another. This should have its own timeslot on tele or permanant addition on netflix or similar platform! Cannot get enough, need more episodes!

  • Zero Chemistry

    Does Michelle even watch British television? How in the world was she chosen for this podcast? These two, while professionals in their own right, have zero chemistry and never seem to be on the same wave length. I don’t think Michelle is gonna last “on the box”.
