Listen to the review of the year podcast using the player above or on soundcloud. The real reason we decided to do a Spooool top five last year and have our own separate lists was because there was no way Argo would be coming top of Páraic’s poll nor The Master at the top of Nigel’s list. Also we wanted to create a list that would show what best represents what we, as a website run by two people,...

Shush! I’m listening to Podcast #8! We figured what better time than now to hop in a time machine and see what films were rocking our world exactly a decade ago.

We’ve reached the halfway point in the year so are doing a quick look back at the best and worst of the year so far, will many of the films still be around by the time of the end of the year lists?
