Failed Critics Podcast: Episode 250 - The Human Cinematipede

After quite literally years of podcasting, and uncountable hours of work going into it – the Failed Critics Film Podcast has reached its 250th episode! We know it’s just three or four blokes who have gotten to know each other quite well over the past five years, talking about films, but we’re pretty proud of it and hope that you enjoy listening to our little show as much as we've enjoyed reaching this milestone. If you think we show any promise at all, please subscribe and spread the word. Yes, for this very special edition, we've gone all retro. Hosts Steve Norman and Owen Hughes managed to convince both founding members James Diamond and Gerry McAuley to come out of retirement for old times' sake. Our rather serendipitous main release review this week is The Lego Batman Movie; a convenient call back to our review on the 100th episode. In fact, most things here are call-backs to past episodes, as you may notice from the featured image and bumf above, taken from the very first podcast published way back on the 25 April 2012. However, some things never change. There's still a quiz to kick us off (with added questions and catch-ups that I'm sure you're all dying to hear about) and we end with the recommendations. One in particular which will no doubt crush you on this Valentine's Day. What We've Been Watching has as eclectic a mix as ever: Owen watches Hearts of Darkness, the "best film about a film"; James explains why Brent: Life on the Road was such a disappointment; Steve is impressed by yet another Jack O'Connell performance in Angelina Jolie's Unbroken; and Gerry squanches all over Rick and Morty. Thanks to everybody who has downloaded this podcast - or any of our podcasts. Your support, feedback and kind comments have been the motivation for us to keep doing this. Who knows what we'll be doing in another 250 episodes, but we hope you'll still be listening - and hope you still find us idiots entertaining to listen to. Hosted on Acast.
