Failed Critics Podcast: The UK's 17th Best

Your official (not "official" official) 17th best podcast, Failed Critics, as designated by New Media Europe's 'Best UK Podcast of 2016' award. Voting closed on Monday 30th May, with The Failed Critics Podcast ranked 17th out of 100 based on the number of Facebook votes we received. Thank you so much to anybody who helped us achieve this high a position by taking a few seconds to vote. On this week's episode, we draft in Underground Nights' very own Paul Field to help us run through a triple-bill of movie stars, where he and hosts Steve Norman and Owen Hughes each pick three actors whom they consider to be the very definition of the very subjective term 'film star'. Before all of that, Owen barely has chance to make himself comfortable before reviewing the new Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows after seeing it earlier that afternoon. Meanwhile, Paul introduces us to Victoria, a German film shot entirely in one take, and Steve catches up on some Shane Black with The Long Kiss Goodnight. The news this week has the trio mulling over Tom Hiddleston's imminent appointment as James Bond, as well as John Carpenter's fabled return to the Halloween franchise. This, following a shambolic quiz that hopefully won't sound as shambolic post-edit as it did pre-edit. Join us again next week where we'll be reviewing both Warcraft and The Nice Guys.
