I can’t understate the consistent high quality of this podcast series. It’s well-structured, concise and thoroughly engaging. Excellent stuff!

This podcast leads me to films and tv programmes I might never had heard of otherwise and the two hosts are great together. But how could you do an episode on love triangles and not mention the wonderful ‘Brooklyn?’

She’s so clever and smart and her comments are so insightful!

Avoid.

Very informative and interesting. I found it truly refreshing to listen to mark Kermode without Simon Mayo annoying me. Having a women co host works so much better. Jones brings her wit and knowledge in a much different way than another man.

I have really enjoyed this series right up to them clearly running out of ideas and doing a whole episode on going to the gym! So sad to listen to 2 people who know so much about ‘real’ movies talk about Pumping Iron & Jason Statham as if they were important, simply to justify their chosen...Read full review »

I could listen to Mark read the phone book.

Insightful and thoughtful listen about moving image and film culture for everyone (even if it’s your first entry to all things film).

Insightful, entertaining and educational. If you have an interest in the process of making entertainment this is the podcast for you. Kermode and Jones are an excellent pairing each bringing their own viewpoints and opinions to the table with an obvious mutual respect. After having cherry picked...Read full review »

2 people who really know and love the moving image, history and culture. A real fund.

Mark Kermode is as articulate and insightful as ever but seems poorly served by his co host who as ‘appreciator’ who only seems content when discussing woke matters that’s she’s very clearly wrapped up in. Kermode balances issues such as race, gender, equality, sexuality and speaks thoughtfully,...Read full review »

Love this combination. Very entertaining. Love the spark between these two. A great listen.

. . . will that create another film podcast for Mark Kermode to host? He certainly gets about lately, but this podcast benefits from a more enjoyable, and informed, co-host than his last main audio endeavour.

Really like Kermode, but definitely now a big fan of Ellen E Jones. She’s funny, super smart, and brings something new and interesting to mainstream film criticism. My new favourite podcast!

Listening to the one about the single-take Kenneth Graham film "Boiling Point" (and others) I was struck by the slick professionalism of the podcast and the easy familiarity of the hosts with their material. They know so much about film it's ridiculous. And I'll be back for more.Read full review »

This is absolutely brilliant and fascinating. I feel both entertained and educated.

Great format, interesting topics and guests, enthusiastic presenters. Big thumbs up.

I haven’t seen any of the movies or shows discussed and yet I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. I really hope there will be many more to come.

Very different to other film review pods and is very informative.
Pmj_172 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/21/22
This pod is so well produced and the way the hosts bring in guests and clips that are provocative and interesting on the various themes is excellent. I am a long term fab of Kermode and enjoyed Ellen on the BBC ‘Film’ programme and very much enjoy their dynamic together.

In the pursuit of populism the BBC cancelled the excellent The Film Program presented by two committed female film journalists and came up with Screenshot to get greater audience figures and a younger audience. Freed from the previous format which valued film makers and cinema Screenshot seems...Read full review »

The production and theme of this show is top notch. Well done to Ellen and Mark!

Fascinating, well-paced podcast by two engaging hosts who know their stuff. Can’t wait to catch up and share widely!
