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!
The Clint Eastwood episode gets 5/5 - best lineup, actually discussing and reviewing films passionately and not just making puns and singing.. More episodes like this please!
Empire fan since issue #1, the podcast edition effortlessly reflects the magazine’s passion and giddiness for the movies, especially with the wonderful banter between Chris, Helen and James! Thank you.
Also big shout out to the “Shameless Plug” with Chris and Nick ❤️
For years I loved this podcast and everyone in it. It’s been a while since this is just not the case anymore. Silly, antagonist, woke, unfunny, the lethal cunning is gone.
