  • You should email the Kermode and Mayo film podcast. They have a bit every week called WTF (what's that film?) where people email in a description of a film they've seen but have know idea what it is called and listeners or Kermode have a crack at solving it. Spoiler alert, Kermode is usually gash at getting it right but the listeners come up trumps. by rikipedia89 (Mon 21st Mar 2022 10:59pm)
