Ever wondered what a ‘winter show’ looks like? Well fear not because Steph clues you in on this week’s show as we dive into another triad of televisual entertainment. First out of the gate this week is the final season of The Bear on Disney+ (51:06).... more
We’re down to two shows this week as the world cup (or embargoes, depending on who you ask) closes its vice-like grip on the airwaves. But what a pair they are: we’re back in the spy business with Michael Fassbender in the return of Paramount+’s espi... more
Thanks to the world cup (and a handful of embargoes), there are only two shows we can cover this week, but that’s okay because not only is one of the triumphant return of Game Of Thrones prequel spin-off House Of The Dragon (1:15:43), but the other i... more

I would listen but it's too long. I listen to the must watch BBC podcast instead. Shorten it and I'll listen.

United Kingdoma month ago - Is losing it
Reviews are good and background interviews are good also but it has become far too self-indulgent with far too much prattle.
Please replace Steph - she is insufferable

First time reviewer
I’ve always enjoyed this show - it’s like talking to your mates about what you’re watching, even when the hosts have star guests to contend with (Elizabeth Moss good value this week). And I like how they give writers their due, engaging with Sarah Phelps, Joe Barton, Sophie Petzal, RTD etc. But I was finally compelled to write by Steph Seelan’s raw, honest, deeply review of Babies. And by her usually rambunctious co-hosts support in such a personal moment. Perhaps even more ... more
Apple Podcasts5squireofknottyashUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Used to be an immediate must-listen
Unfortunately I have to update my original 5/5 rating. How can a podcast featuring 3 journalists feature one host telling off the others for using “big words”. If Steph’s vocabulary isn’t big enough, why not learn some new words rather than treating it like the schoolyard where it’s dangerous to be seen as smart. Especially when “mellifluous” is not as obscure as she makes out. Incredibly frustrating.
