  • Several steps backwards

    When Simon Morris was At The Movies, it was an essential listen. Not anymore, the current unscripted chatter and dumbed down reviewers have turned RNZ’s once useful, interesting and fun At The Movies into a lightweight waste of time. Nothing to listen to here, so I’ve given up with the new At The Movies and have discovered a huge range of far better movie podcasts from the UK, USA and Australia. In my opinion RNZ made a huge mistake by getting rid of a great show, with an excellent and knowledg... more

  • Why the advertising RNZ? You are a fully funded public broadcaster

    Simon Morris is great. His reviews are great and well informed

    ( note Dan Slevin is not great - he’s dour, pretentious and constantly gives spoilers - I don’t listen when Dan is subbing in).

    HOWEVER- why is RNz putting ads at the beginning and end of each 4 minute review. It doesn’t happen with any other RNz podcasts and is truly irritating. RNz is a fully publicly funded body so why the irritating ads?

  • My Number 1 Podcast

    I love the Simon Morris's eloquent, observed, challenging look at films. His podcasts are punchy and quite indepth, even for their short-ish length.

    I appreciate that he holds films to a high standard- including New Zealand films.

    The format works well - he choses interesting extracts of clips to compliment each podcast. He is current, politically savy and knowledgable. The podcasts are enjoyable and informative listening. Thank you.
