Failed Critics Podcast: Legend, The Visit and Award Winning Comedy

Do you want to hear a magic trick? How many C's are there in Failed Critics?Answer: Four! Specifically, Owen Hughes, Phil Sharman, Andrew Brooker and special guest host, Jack Stewart. I will leave it to your imagination to work out what the 'C' stands for......All right, it was 'critics', of course! Failed ones, but what else could I have possibly meant..?Unfortunately there's no Steve Norman on this week's episode, but the award winning duo of Phil and Jack from the comedy podcast Wikishuffle join Owen and Brooker to review two new releases. Whilst Phil prepares a rant on M. Night Shyamalan's latest twisty-turny-twist-again-turn-again horror The Visit, the group also review British gangster movie Legend, starring Tom Hardy as Ronnie Cray and Tom Hardy as Reggie Kray.Also on the podcast: Brooker walks the line with Oscar winning documentary Man On Wire; Phil tentatively recommends Jonathan King’s (yes, that one) self-produced Vile Pervert: The Musical; and Owen shouts from the stands about indie doc Sons of Ben. There's even time for Phil jump into the host's chair briefly for this week's quiz, and we rant over SPECTRE's potentially 160 minute run time.Steve Norman returns as host next week along with Owen and guest Callum Petch to review Everest.
