JameseffinDoc ,

An essential listen for film fans.

Easily one of the best and most entertaining movie and film podcasts out there. Kevin and Will deliver brilliantly entertaining, funny and knowledgeable insight into the world of films (and occasionally tv shows).

The format allows them to cover and discuss some of the absolute best moments in cinema from the blockbusters and classics we all know to the wonderfully obscure and everything in between.

It’s Corking great.

If you love movies you’ll love this

Been following Kevin on twitter for ages and wanted to see whether his deep love of film, soh and cheeky style would translate to a podcast. It does, and Will is equally fun to hang out with. Strong recommend for anyone who appreciates a deep dive into film. Definitely at the popcorn, rather than art house end of things which is no bad thing.

LJRCanillas ,

Obscure film topics make for a fantastic listen!

Two screenwriters with a genuine love for cinema pick randomly select very specific film themes/scenes/scenarios and face off their ‘Best Bits’ from said topics.

The charm of the hosts, alone make it five stars but the weirdness of the topics will also make you come back for more! Agree? Disagree? That’s half the fun!

Great facts. Great fun! Great podcast!
