  • Great show, but…..

    I’m a long-time listener (we’re talking 15 years+!) and I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed the chat over the years. It’s been a constant companion, and I really do appreciate the laughs, insights, and all the comfort that comes with familiar voices in my ears week after week.

    That said, with all the affection in the world, it does sometimes feel like I’m tuning into two old mates having a bit of a grumble rather than a proper movie review (sometimes) Don’t get me wrong, the balance is s... more

  • Love the show!

    I really do love the show, I’m an LTL vanguardista, so don’t have to listen to the ads. The political views and general wittertainment are most welcome. The podcast itself is rated 5 stars.

    The one bug bear I have is the many unnecessary additions to my podcast feed that are not Kermode and Mayo.

    “Now and Ben”- no thankyou!

    “You might also like: On purpose with Jay Shetty”- no I will not.

    Please please PLEASE stop spamming my feed with other podcasts I am not interested in. One star removed fo... more

  • Still a great listen (even with the politics)

    Been listening in one form or another since the 90s. Still value Mark’s reviews over all others. Great rapport between the two presenters as there always has been. As to issues that other reviewers have had - I can’t hear any more ads than other podcasts I listen to. And people who turn off because of ‘too much politics’, normally do so because it’s the politics that they don’t agree with. I think this says more about them than the show! Happy listening!

  • Sadly gone way downhill

    Having listened to them for 20 years this used to be required listening every week. I attend the cinema every week and used the reviews to determine my viewing. The programme was informative and entertaining. Sadly not now. It has become a shameless cash grab and no longer has the standards and content it had when it was run by the BBC.

    The adverts are appalling and some of the products they have advertised have proved to be nothing but scams. Seriously reputationally damaging. If you are ... more
