The Best Bits episodes

  • Our New Podcast is Out Now!

    We're back with a brand-new podcast: Screen, Play.

    You can hear the new show by searching 'Screen, Play' in your podcast app of choice.

    This time, the format’s a little different. Every couple of weeks, we’ll take a topical subject and count down our top three films that relate to it in some way, with new episodes dropping on Mondays. Think of it as The Best Bits — but sharper, looser, and even more conversational.

    Our first episode is out now, where we kick things off with our favourite back-to-school films, from Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939) to The Holdovers (2023).

    Listen and subscribe wherever you like. Just search Screen, Play.

  • Horror October Vol. 4

    Last October, on Patreon, Will and Kevin dropped 31 Days of Halloween, releasing daily podcasts on their favourite genre films with help from special guests, friends, and patrons. This year, they’ve grouped the mini-episodes into weekly volumes leading up to Halloween. In this final volume, screenwriter/producer Eoin O'Faolain (A Dark Song) and writer, director, actor and comedian Peter McGann join them.

    The music is from Epidemic. Pete Antell wrote and performed the opening theme, "Stop, Look, and Listen; It's Halloween."
