“Like many film reviewers, Jason Solomons has a tendency to be pretentious and snipey. He isn't great at conducting interviews and therefore most of the interviews in this podcast lack any real insight. He also says 'kind of' far too much - listen to the latest podcast (27th May) in which he says it about thirty times in his short chat with Xan Brooks... very unprofessional for someone who makes a living from speaking.
However, all is not lost. Because I have noticed that he almost always dislikes good films and laps up utter tripe. This was exemplified recently when he said that he didn't really like the original 'Nightmare on Elm Street' but he thought that the remake was quite good... see what I mean? He has inverted reality. This means that I know to watch the films he says are rubbish and to avoid the ones he recommends. So thanks Jason.
