Hello, and welcome to Movie The Needle, a film podcast where two complete amateurs haphazardly dissect movies and try to mov(i)e the needle for one another. Each month, Simon and Carl argue over a film that one of us likes and the other...well, not so much. We mash movies together with a guest in Mashflix & Chill, revisit a favourite in the Classics Collection, then look back at the month's films and unfinished business in the Monthly Retro. Expect cast, production, plot, recasting, movie games, director debates and questionable opinions.
