  • I love this podcast. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable about film and provide great analysis without being boring. They are also quite humorous at times. I love that they cover the best and worst of cinema in the same podcast. Highly recommend.

  • Peak Content

    Listening to an old episode. Darren explaining to foreign audiences what a cinema is, is peak content.

    5/5 a podcast so good that I will listen to old episodes when I have run out of recent ones.

435. Star Trek Into Darkness (#---)
Q: If listeners have not seen Star Trek Into Darkness, would you recommend they pause the podcast and stream it to a local device?
Yes, I would recommend people watch it. I think it's an exciting action movie that tries to say something interesting about America.
435. Star Trek Into Darkness (#---)
Q: Do you think that Star Trek Into Darkness belongs on a list of the 250 greatest movies ever made?
No, I don't think this movie belongs on The 250. It is a well-made movie, but it wouldn't be a personal favorite and I can recognize its qualities and failings.
426. Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (#---)
Q: Do you believe that Kill Bill, Vol. 2 belongs on a list of the 250 greatest movies ever made?
Darcie believes it does due to its technical beauty and thematic depth, while Andrew disagrees, feeling it doesn't compare to the first film.
421. Snow White - Ani-May 2025 (#---)
Q: And Andrew, is this the worst 100 film you've seen?
No, I think it was fine.
421. Snow White - Ani-May 2025 (#---)
Q: Ciara, what do you think about the film?
It's mostly bad in a bland, featureless way without shocking elements.
