Failed Critics Podcast: Eclectic Avenue

Callum Petch, Callum Petch, does whatever Callum can - i.e. talking even more than James used to as he swings straight from last week's episode to this week's edition of the Failed Critics podcast. He joins your regular podcast host Steve Norman and hanger-on Owen Hughes to discuss the big film news over the past seven days.   Chiefly, Tuesday's long-expected announcement that the rebooted Spider-Man will definitely be making his first appearance in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, on loan from Sony. We mull over potential ramifications for existing Marvel films, casting choices we'd make and if it's actually that big a deal anyway.   Completely forgoing our regular "what we've been watching" segment, as there just wasn't enough damn time, we instead take a detailed look over the weekend's BAFTA award winners and losers, as well as the awards ceremony itself.   We also couldn't have hand picked four different main release reviews if we tried, as the eclectic mix of space opera Jupiter Ascending, Aardman animation Shaun the Sheep: The Movie, controversial comedy The Interview and the Oscar nominated Selma all get discussed.   Join us again next week for a special Academy Award preview episode with more guests, probably more arguments and hopefully a shorter run time!
