  • Your destination for UK films

    Came to this having watched Defence of the Realm at a local cinema. I was delighted to find that this is a place where people discuss their love for British cinema and really take it seriously. Looking forward to listening more podcasts and importantly rediscovering UK film.

  • These Are a Few of My Favourite Films

    I stumbled upon this podcast by searching for discussions about Performance (1970) and love the theme of strictly British cinema since my top three favorite films (Performance, A Clockwork Orange, and The Devils) were all made in the UK by (mostly) British filmmakers (Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg, Stanley Kubrick, and Ken Russell). I love the wide ranging selection of films and would love it if they reviewed O Lucky Man! (1973), Frightmare (1974), and The Final Programme (1973).

  • Absolutely loving this!

    As a young person discovering older films, this podcast is helping me dissect them and feels like I’m joining in a conversation about them even though people I know in real life haven’t seen them!

  • Scott and his co presenters are always bringing great conversation about a range of British films - some I'm familiar with and some I'm not. The gents always sound like they're having a great time and bring insight into their conversations about British cinema history. Great work, fellows.
