  • Too tired to broadcast?

    Honey yawning all the way through the latest episode. If you’re bored talking about it, what’s the point. More Jonathan and less Honey please when especially yawning (and swearing). Good in parts otherwise

  • Great pod

    Brilliant pod, but at its best when they have BOTH seen the film/show they are talking about. Else it’s just one telling the other about it, which is less engaging

  • Interesting and fun podcast

    I stumbled across this podcast very recently and I’m already enjoying it. Jonathan Ross has always given an honest review of films, in my opinion. His daughter Honey gives a fun perspective to films. There are some interesting anecdotes within the podcast too. A bit on the sweary side but I accept that sometimes passion about a subject that many people enjoy is acceptable. Keep it up.

    Edit: research is key if you don’t know something about a show you are watching

  • Good hosts often wrong

    The podcast is fine and the hosts are fun, but they often get things wrong with relation to new releases (“this is the third in a series” when it’s actually the fourth, as the most recent example) seems they don’t look into the films they go to see.

  • Delightfully joyously informative

    My new favourite podcast, the most entertaining and honest (‘reel!!) way to keep up with new releases in a way that inspires you to check them out - or not! They both know a lot about the film industry and have some great chats. Love it!
