If you like movies, and hate the polished American offerings where even the indie-types just can’t help talking with a gleaming-white-smile, then you’ll like this. It’s discursive and allows itself to go off-script to a certain extent. I don’t necessarily agree with all the opinions offered, but at least there appears to be something verifiably human behind them, rather than agenda-driven formulations. There seems to be less marketing and signalling, whilst still being contemporary in terms o... more
Used to enjoy this podcast, especially with AC at the helm, he used to balance the show, but since he’s left it feels like a group of pretensions kids getting kicks out of slating movies.

Listening to the episode from 12/12 and idk if the audio quality is just rubbish (again) or whether Leila’s drunk cos it sounds like she’s slurring her speech a bit.
Either way, this podcast is so hit and miss! Rlly great, in-depth analysis that’s varied and challenges me. But the quality of production and constant audio issues can be so off-putting!
One of the best film podcasts (and magazines) out there featuring an interesting assortment of guest critics. My only gripe is the production / sound quality has been really bad (sometimes unlistenable) recently and doesn’t do the content justice at all. You can do better LWL!
I really love this podcast so it’s so disheartening to hear the sound quality get worse with every episode. Please sort this out because it makes it unlistenable at times and I really want to hear what is being said!
