Mark and Mayo

I listened to "Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Reviews" podcast for the first time yesterday. Amazing! They sound like they hate each other.

Obviously I'd back Kermode over Mayo any day but the mix of the latters radio friendly timbre and the formers histrionic ranting make for a firecracker show - I do love a good rant.

That's all besides the content itself which was sharp, insightful and witty. I particularly enjoyed the review of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" - sounds like another Keanu masterclass!

Here's an example of their work. Kermode slags off Quantum of Solace. Just watch the first two minutes. Genius.
