I really appreciate this podcast - particularly the perspectives of Peter Bradshaw - one of the best film writers on either side of the Atlantic. My only complaint is that the volume on the podcast is shockingly low. A lot of podcasts have this problem but this one is off the charts. I am unable to hear the discussion with my MacBook Pro turned up to maximum volume. I have to resort to headphones. Please up the volume!

I really enjoy the insights that the Guardian reviewers bring to the table every week. I wish they would review more foreign releases though. Overall one of the best film podcasts out there. Highly recommend.
Very good weekly podcast

This high quality film weekly makes a worthwhile companion to the sometimes over childish Kermode Mayo review - high quality listening!
