The socially conscious film-review podcast I’ve been looking for

Was looking for something new after going off Mayo and Kermode a bit. This was the perfect antidote. I enjoy the relaxed vibe and like to hear the opinions of multiple people. The critical discussion of the film industry as well as the reviews themselves are a welcome addition.

Great pod for film fans!

Been listening to this podcast since it started a couple of months ago and I think it's brilliant. Film critics Hanna Flint, Amon Warmann and Clarisse Loughrey review and discuss newly released movies every week. Their differing opinions and perspectives are really insightful and their general banter makes it a joy to listen to.

Fab new film pod

Fun movie/TV chats and quality criticism in one. Hanna Flint, Clarisse Loughrey, and Amon Warmann are a great team, and I appreciate how they give time to things, such as costume design, that many others don’t comment upon.
