Nothing better in terms of movie reviews out there. Kermode already has his Oscar statue but they should make it real life size

Sad that this is over. Even sadder that it has been replaced with that awful Take. Well, we had a great 21 years. Goodbye to Jason.

The show, er programme is always exquisitely detailed classy review of all things cinema: present, trendy, indy, past, obscure, streaming, in Cinema halls, Drive ins, bedroom TVs, only on DVD or VHS, 16mm, only in your imagination. Excellent reviews submitted by listeners or just people hanging...Read full review »

Flappy hand claps all round to the only film show on radio or tv worth listening to. Goodbye to Jason Issacs

Top notch show, great hosts, funny, informative and without doubt the best podcast in it’s genre.

Keep the lefty BBC politics out of the show (please Simon) and this show would be perfect, otherwise will have to delete show..

Mark Kermode is arguably the best film critic in the world. Arguably. His knowledge and filmic intelligence is unparalleled, in the UK at least. And there is a reason this podcast is at the top. Listen here: if the concept and practice of feminism offends you, this podcast just isn’t for...Read full review »

Love Simon and Mark and wouldn’t change them for the world! Would also happily listen to Anna and Ben every week - what a great episode!

I absolutely love this podcast. I almost look forward to the washing up (when I listen to it). They make me laugh, bring me joy and obviously have great film reviews.
Jo.K.G via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/04/22
A must listen to genuine film fans with open minds. Some of the December reviews about this show suggest people got coal in their stockings. Having views different to your own isn’t woke. Thank you Simon and Mark.

Has become tiresome I’m afraid, maybe too long in their cupboards. Less in jokery more film critique.
hgvyrex via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/24/21
Woke isn’t an insult, this show is brilliant
JTpoddy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/20/21
I’ve been listening to this podcast for about 14 years. Strangely enough, I don’t even watch that many movies, but I still come back to this podcast each week for funny, informative and just decent and humane banter about film (of course) and the state of things in general.

What a fall from Grace, following this podcast was a religion. I appear to have been rescued from this cult, thank heavens for that. The egos have run riot, the in-jokes that used to entertain now seem puerile and smug. Like a couple of pompous six formers in the common room with a copy of the...Read full review »

Preaching from the top of woke mountain every Friday. Featuring top 10 virtue signals and disparaging reviews of anything he politically disagrees with, the bequiffed film critic turns what used to be a good listen into a tiresome two hours of right on twaddle. Ironic when you consider just how...Read full review »

Two very self important white middle aged men spend 2 hours humble bragging, name-dropping and virtue signalling and occasionally, talk about films. Dr K insisting on bringing the programme to a halt in order to read from Michael Caine’s autobiog praising him as a critic must rank as one of the...Read full review »
Murjim2 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/04/21
Love the show (LTL) especially the chemistry between the two presenters, what I can do without is Kermode’s constant left wing woke agenda, he just can’t help trying to make everyone else think like him, all I want is to hear about the films. He now thinks that there’s no such thing as woke and...Read full review »

Still good but Kermode can be a bit smug at times. Mayo is truly a great broadcaster.
JarvisLives via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/12/21
So pleased with yourselves. The film reviews are however good.

For fair movie critiques, epic takedowns and solid witterings, the church has ample space for all! Hello to Jason Isaacs!
Mr Chuckleoff via Apple Podcasts · Greece · 10/18/21
Have been listening for 9 years now.. the recent state of the world has brought the worst of many podcasts to light. sadly this long staple of entertainment evaluation has suffered as well. The recent remark that all anti “Woke” opinions and listeners are no longer wanted. The Good Doctor...Read full review »

Mark and Simon’s show is our go-to film show. All the latest films of the week are honestly reviewed by Mark and are interjected with regular features that are interesting and fun to listen to. I can definitely recommend this podcast.
Collywobbles42 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/09/21
I’m not the biggest cinéaste, but I truly believe no interest in film is required to enjoy the sublime chemistry and witty banter between these two broadcasting icons. With that being said, the film analysis provided by Mark is incisive and informative and is well-complemented by Simon’s own...Read full review »
PiGuy314 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/27/21
Just a brilliant show. From humourous, informative to petulant and ranting. They compliment each other so well and Mark is usually right about the films there are to see. They are both real characters and have created a very funny world around them in this show. Very loyal following who are...Read full review »

Mayo is one of the finest broadcasters in the UK, Kermode perhaps the country's most lucid and engaging film critic, and listening to them both do their thing is an absolute pleasure. The show has the finest listener contributions I've ever heard, and it all comes together to create one...Read full review »

Too many boring posh English opinions! Anna Bogutskaya is MUCH less funny than she thinks she is.
bishop is dire via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/15/21
Love this appearing on my feed every Friday, it’s a joy. Great reviews, great wittertainment. The stand-ins are always good, but I want to be in Simon and Mark’s gang.

Been listening for years and years, and will continue to do so. However have several times taken my eyes off the road to fast forward through the excruciating lobby correspondents so not recommended for driving
j3lb3ll via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/24/21
6/5 stars, a battenburg cake delight of criticism and cultural commentary that adds genuine value to my existence. Steve Mayo, alongside Mark Condor and occasional guest Jeremy Irons go through the weeks film releases, entomological origins of words and interviews with directors and actors. It...Read full review »

Madfut via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/16/21
This is my go-to podcast and it's always a bit of a disappointment when Mark and Simon aren't around. Some of the stand-ins can be quite good, but Ali and Robbie excelled last week. Great conversation and genuine debate on films made it really entertaining. A slightly different format...Read full review »

Nah
I don’t listen to radio 1 for a reason. Don’t know who this Ali Guy is but likes the sound of his own voice way too much for my liking, not again. There is 1 presenter and 1 critic. Nauseous.
munchificate via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/04/21
Tried this. 2 hrs of humble bragging. Mock outrage of censorship by the producer as a vehicle for reading out endless self congratulatory correspondence reveals a Trump level narcissism. ‘The church’ urgh.

Cliche cliche cliche, well it has to be a French comment in this tres tres disappointing film about restaurants and food.

The podcast I look forward to most every week. Always entertaining and insightful with Simon Mayo’s interviews being a highlight. Love that every film from obscure Czech indies to blockbusters are given a fair shot.
20thcenturyguy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/21/21
I love to spend a couple of hours with these lovely people who feel like old friends. The podcast offers a great mix of silliness, movie news, interviews and insightful reviews.
Al-Edinburgh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/09/21
Don’t bother if Simon and Mark are away. Not worth your time.
Niban #2dj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/21
I wonder if the incels complaining that the show is too political notice it’s categorized under Society and Culture. That might overlap with politics sometimes big fella. For the adults in the room, this is a fantastic show about movies (including how they might be digested by other people...Read full review »

Just a brilliant podcast. Simon Mayo is frequently hilarious and a phenomonal interviewer and Mark Kermode is a very intelligent critic who you can tell deeply caes about film. I don't always agree with his take on a film, (who agrees with someone all the time? No one!) But his take is always...Read full review »
