Failed Critics Podcast: The Scottish Podcast

Is this a dagger I see before me? No, it's just this week's triple bill edition of the Failed Critics podcast!Acclaimed Glaswegian author Escobar Walker debuts alongside noted-neds and podcast regulars Steve Norman, Owen Hughes and Paul Field, to review the Scottish play-turned-movie Macbeth and to each pick their three favourite films from north of the border.We kick things off as we always do with a quiz,one that is - yes, you guessed it - Scottish themed. Before that though, we have a short pre-credits intro that should give you an insight into just how depraved and filthy the combined minds of Paul and Esco can get. You have been warned.With no other new releases to review this week, and no 'what we've been watching' section, we devote more time to our review of Macbeth than Paul spent awake during his entire short cinema trip to watch director Justin Kurzel's big-screen Shakespearean adaptation.To wrap things up the team share their three favourite Scottish movies. Alas, this might be a spoiler and maybe even come as a shock or disappointment to a few of you, but nobody picks Highlander, Braveheart or The Wicker Man. I can only apologise, but we do find some other real classics to talk about instead.You can join Steve and Owen again next week where we'll have more guests, presumably less profanity, and reviews of Suffragette and The Walk.
