“Great guests, great chat, the usual wit and intelligence from Mark Kermode. It’s just a shame that Jack Howard is, well, Jack Howard (who tries to keep everyone amused by joking about age gaps while stumbling around like a Muppet Baby until he hits a talking point that can allow him to mention...”Read full review »

“This was a great podcast. Very different to wittertainment but just as great.
So sad we’ve lost both to whatever the new Take subscription is.”

“Kermode is great, but I have to admit that I skip the Jack Howard episodes. I just find him a bit cocky and unpleasant. I much prefer Kermode’s partnership with Ellen E Jones on the other Kermode podcast!”

“I am a big fan of jack howard and mark kermode and think they make a great team talking about film. They have different perspectives and viewpoints which makes for a great and very interesting discussion”

“I for one am a fan of Jack Howard and his POV so I have no complaints there but I preferred the podcast when it was less hour long MK3D épisodes split up over several weeks, it would be better to have more recent topical discussions instead of weeks prior pre recorded live shows IMHO.”

“Mark Kermode is a fantastic critic nothing more to be said , listen & enjoy.
Jack Howard however is sadly way out of his depth and his knowledge is incredibly poor & Mark puts him in his place regularly………. Which makes for some cringeworthy podcast moments”

“I’ve been a big fan of Mark Kermode for many years; I don’t always agree with his conclusions or readings of a film, but I am always impressed with the sheer depth of his knowledge and infectious passion for film. I was very excited by the prospect of him doing a film podcast. However, I have...”Read full review »

“Who is this utter no-mark that Mark Kermode has brought on to talk total nonsense about films? What’s the point of him? Why would anyone want to listen to him? Can someone do something about this grave situation soon, please?”

‘…and Jack Howard’
Enough of the demographic chasing, it’s like pairing a...”Read full review »

“I love Kermode and I enjoy listening to him chatting to him listening to people who work inside the film industry - the sound of metal episode was very interesting to listen too as I understood sound design’s importance in a way that I hadn’t really before. However, I do find Jack Howard’s voice...”Read full review »

“I have to echo some of the other reviews regarding the “contribution” of Jack Howard to the show.

“The idea that Mark ranks his best and worst of the year in conversation with a younger critic makes perfect sense. Next time, please choose someone who actually watched films and selected things he disliked, rather than TV - ?!- that merely ‘disappointed’ him.”

“Love the show, love the topics, love Mark and Jack, but please drop the sound from the trailers. Its really loud, its disturbing and breaks the flow of the conversation. Listenening to a movie trailer doesn’t make any sense, its really annoying. Just cut them out.”

“While it may seem unfair to give a podcast one star based on one episode it’s just what the dull Jack Howard did in putting Mare of Eastown in the worst category after watching two episodes. I don’t know if he was thinking I will omit all the banal rubbish that’s been on tv in the first six...”Read full review »

“Simon Mayo does not let him get away with it and thus MK is at his best.
Unleashed, his favourite words are I and me and favourite topic, talking about himself and it is boring. Such a a shame because he can be so much more interesting and his reviews, when focused, are excellent.”
