The Oscars 2024
Released 12 March 2024
Following an unsuccessful attempt to record an episode immediately following the transmission of the 96th Academy Awards on ITV, we reconvened a couple of days later with hopefully more coherent thoughts.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic review
I love yr review on the film The Bridge On The River Kwai. It was so interesting, informative, humorous and at times very sad. It is one of my favourite films and to hear it described with such affection made it a privilege to listen too.
Love your Podcast
Really love seeking out the movies after hearing you talk about them.
Stan is currently streaming quite a few Hitchcock movies so it’s been fascinating to go back and listen to your Hitchcock episode after watching these.
You are all great to listen to. Thank you so much for a wonderful informative and entertaining podcast.
Always interesting
I really enjoy this podcast. It is meticulously researched and always interesting. The best parts are often the contextual discussions that are not directly about the film. Tom seems very expert on many aspects of film making, Jess has really interesting opinions and John is so fair and thorough in his research/consideration of the films. The only downside is that Jess often subtly picks on, interrupts, or completely dismisses John. In early episodes they make fun of John for talking about lots of different films before saying whether he thinks the academy got it right. It’s that sort of discussion that John is engaging in that makes this podcast interesting.
