“I love this podcast but the production seems to be getting worse and worse. Why am I hearing two Leila’s at the same time? Why do the volume levels continue to be off during each episode?
Keep the great reviews coming but pls so some basic checks for mic + audio levels before recording and...”Read full review »

“While looking for additional information about the venerable Saw franchise, I came upon the "Truth and Movies: A Little White Lies" podcast, and I couldn't be happier that I did. This podcast has far surpassed my expectations as a devoted Saw fan.
The hosts' level of knowledge...”Read full review »

“I can not listen to this podcast. It’s like speaking to someone on a mobile while on a train. The sound is so bad I regularly just switch off after the first few minutes. Please just use you phones to record an audio track while your on the zoom call. Also, stop using AirPods.”

“The contributors come across as smug and sycophantic at times. There is a lot of talk of the film festivals they have attended to watch film premieres. Lots of Cannes name dropping. This comes across as self congratulatory and isn’t relatable for the average film fan, nor is it relevant to the...”Read full review »

“Really enjoyed listening to this podcast from the beginning to now. Its greatest strength is its diverse range of critics with so much passion and interest in film - it really gets me excited about films I’ve not seen much coverage of elsewhere. Plus thoughtful insight into the latest blockbusters.”

“Unsubscribed. Not one person on this sounds likeable. I must have watched completely different films. I disagreed with every review they gave.
I must not be there demographic 🤷🏼”

“It really depends on who the guests are, but it’s more of a miss than a hit. The extent of the analysis of Dune is that it is “humourless” and “cold”. While, boringly and rather predictably, they love art undergrad’s favourite…Wes Anderson. No real critique here of how he seems to do the same...”Read full review »

“I’m sorry for this to be my first review of any show ever hear. I’ll make it short and sweet.
Overall a plethora of lovely hosts and guests.
Very likable people. But it just feels way too elitist. Nerd culture and fandom feels frowned upon and cast aside as it’s only the small indie or red...”Read full review »

“Pretentious beyond belief. Jimbo at least gave a counterbalance to the naval gazing. More ‘trouble at Milne’ type puns, and less Carl Anka inflecting his speech like a fat schoolgirl discussing her feelings over a bottle of Lambrini...
I love it when people have a different opinion to me on...”Read full review »

“This is a wonderful review show of current films that also features a classic or under-appreciated movie. This is a show for people with open minds. Those who go hunting for media to label as “too woke” can spend time elsewhere.”

“Excellent at times but is just too “inside baseball.” Feels like a podcast where the audience is actually irrelevant. Smart, eloquent, cogent discourse on film is always welcome - but this is by the podcasters for the podcasters

A film reviewer that can’t watch films for no apparent reason due to Lockdown and defaults to watching Buffy and the Simpson’s, and chooses to rewatch Pirates of the Caribbean films....”Read full review »

“I enjoy listening to the reviews and interviews.
The reviews are well written even if I don’t always agree with them but I can tell the writers love movies just as much as me.
I’ve got plenty of examples of movies I disagree with them on (Jojo rabbit, Blade Runner 2049, etc.) but I can...”Read full review »

Now sadly, they seem to hate all the films I love, and they love films that are just too niche for me.
If you are looking for mainstream film reviews, I think you would be better off...”Read full review »

“Used to enjoy this podcast, especially with AC at the helm, he used to balance the show, but since he’s left it feels like a group of pretensions kids getting kicks out of slating movies.
