We're Gonna Need A Bigger Pod

Thursday, 11 January 2024 - 1 hour 57 minutes

This week, we are looking backwards to our best films of 2023 and forwards to lots of exciting films in 2024 as Jon Brown & Paul Marsh present an episode to get you buzzing for some films as sweet as honey but hopefully without a sting in the tail!

For our latest show, your (hopefully) favourite film Podcast contains our full (spoiler free) review of 'The Beekeeper' ahead of it's release in cinemas and theaters Worldwide and we catch up with 'Suicide Squad', 'Fury' & 'The Beekeeper' Director David Ayer for a chat about the movie itself. 

There's also a interview from the show and topic of the moment, as we speak to Director James Strong and Writer Gwyneth Hughes of 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' which was recorded ahead of the airing of the show and the national news that it has now become, plus there's all your usual agenda items including a sorting office of News, Trailer Talk, the latest releases at the Cinema, on Streaming, Digital, 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD releases too.

And, rounding us out is an longing look back at 2023 Tip Top 5, in which we read out YOUR Tip Top 5 favourite films of 2023 and our own personal Top 10 films of the year (There may be an additional interview here, but we can't say who as it may reveal a clue to our Top 10 films of the year).

All this and more, in another bursting instalment of 'We're Gonna Need A Bigger Pod'!
