A lot of time, a lot of podcasts – Part 4: Movie reviews
January 11th 2010 08:00 am
I love film. I always have and I think I always will. I watch an awful lot of films and regular readers of this site will know I review a handful of them too (followers of me on Twitter get to see my mini-reviews as well).
I keep up to date with the latest film news through a couple of film websites but I also choose to listen to two film podcasts:
Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo’s Film Review
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvdrj
This is by far my favourite podcast out of all I listen to. It is the one I regularly look forward to every week and am sad when Dr Kermode or Dr Mayo are on holiday as it is just not the same. The way these two banter between each other is brilliant and the film reviews are always entertaining. I even got the opportunity to go to Leeds and see a live version of the show which was brilliant.
While I may not always agree with the opinions given I don’t primarily listen to find out what to watch, I listen for the pure, unadulterated wittertainment.
Cinemagogue (Mars Hill Church)

Pastor James Harleman of Mars Hill Church regular shows films and chats about them before and afterwards from the Christian perspective. I find him very entertaining and he highlights things in the films that I would have otherwise missed. If you are a Christian and a film lover I recommend you catch a listen.
