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.
Apple Podcasts5Physio2005United Kingdom8 months ago - Up and down, highs and lows, in and out?
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
Apple Podcasts1FreyjaKatUnited Kingdom10 months ago - I owe you this
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.
