- Hoping things gel eventually (spoiler: they still haven’t)
I was a LTL from as long the show was on BBC 5 and even had my one and only letter to the show read out. Something isn’t working about the new podcast. I’m no fan of the ads (and having extra paid content is just really poor, especially when the free elements of the actor interviews are all the bad bits), but I just scroll through them. Unfortunately, doing that makes the show quite short.
More than that, though, the sound quality is weird, the editing is full of glitches, and there is someth... more

United Kingdom2 months ago - Smugfest
I like Simon and admire Mark. But cancelled my subscription after 6 months because I could no longer stand the overwhelming smugness of the show’s correspondents. The self-satisfied prig who wrote in about bus timetables after the Andy Serkis interview was typically grating. The cultist listeners with their ‘Dear [insert arch reference and look how educated I am]’ schtick are far too pleased with themselves. Sorry to say that the warmth of the hosts and their genuine knowledge of and enthusiasm ... more
Apple Podcasts2Mickey GinnUnited Kingdom2 months ago - The Politics Show
Used to be about films, now can’t go more than five minutes without mentioning Trump. Obsessive but also really boring. Also ironic that considering the show pushes a leftist narrative, it has got more and more money grabbing.
Mark has continually said that if you don’t agree with his views, you can push off. So I am doing that. One less LTL. Loved the show, Steve.
Apple Podcasts1Jpd71United Kingdom3 months ago - Hate the politics
Love the film stuff, hate the arrogant leftist political commentary. Another LTL bites the dust.
Apple Podcasts2counosboyUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Please Rant About Movies Not About Politics
I was a longtime listener, and an OG subscriber to the “Takes” iteration of this show, so leaving this review makes me very sad: the show has become unlistenable. Kermode’s (and to a lesser extent Simon’s) rants about geopolitics in general and American politics in particular have rendered the show unlistenable. I say this as a progressive Democrat who is every bit as enraged as they are about the state of the world. But hearing what they think about the state of things is not why I listen to th... more
