Finding the right film podcast for you shouldn't be difficult, that's our aim. Which is why we provide multiple shows within one, in order to cover a range of topics and genres, offering a variety of podcast hosts, each with a different background in film criticism and a different penchant for entertaining listeners. Whilst we aim to cover film is our priority, we often divert into TV and Entertainment too, even Culture at times! Don't judge us harshly but do enjoy our witty banter and playful asides as we navigate the terrific world behind screens. We know there are a variety of other film podcasts for you to choose (we love them too) and we thank everyone and anyone who listens to the UK Film Review Podcast. It is an honour to have the Play Button pushed and our film reviews splurged into your ears (definitely not a saying).
