Great content, with sharp and insightful reviews that often steers me towards films I may not have watched. The Marvel and Avatar fanboying can get a bit tedious, but doesn’t overshadow hours of excellent free content that I have enjoyed for years.
The Marvel love is intolerable… the Avatar love is just embarrassing.
I’ve been listening for years and still do (just about) so 5 stars for a truck load of free entertainment.
I can no longer listen to this, it’s become a shadow of its former rather good self. I want to know about films and not mindless chatter, politics and overlapping voices. Get back to been what you were once good at
Been listening since the beginning and do so every week. Best film pod around. Five stars from me is quite literally the least I could do for the hundreds of hours of entertainment. Enjoy those stars. Savour them.
Love listening in to Chris, Helen and James every single week. They’re good company, it’s packed with film fun every week. Get on it.
Shout out to the Shameless Plug too!
