Episode description

Do people still read, or should all communication about film now be in the form of memes?

In this episode, we reveal what film magazines we still read (for some, it is zero), why we review films ourselves (are we just screaming into the void?!), and discuss whether Letterboxd could be throwing reviews a lifeline (though the joke reviews always seem to win out).

We'll also explore what we actually want from film reviews, decry spoilers, shake our heads at heavy plot descriptions and try to give tips to writing reviews in today's TL:DR generation.
