Newbie

I have only started listening to this podcast this year. This has opened up new films for me to watch and find that I enjoy (even the ones that get a slightly less that good review in podcast) the films a lot more due to the information that come via this podcast.

Poor mistakes on names

Listen regularly but alway annoyed by inaccurate reading of names e.g the Odin Line - it’s Onedin Line or George Jackson the actor. - Gordon Jackson one of our finest actors. I have no problem with swearing but one of the presenters can hardly complete a sentence with the F word.

Another podcast with strong and a weak presenter
