Any wittertainee's out there..?

That seems a fair comparison.

They used to always say it was a something else production...I think GBBO was a prouced by Love...so they probably own the company probably own the format at least to a degree. No doubt they will put another film show in same slot but can't say I would be raving about any of the stand ins.

I hope they release a condensed 30-60minute film review podcast without all the wittertainment bullshit.

That will be interesting. I think Kermode really got into TV during lockdown, I know he watched The Wire and Chernobyl. Be interesting to see how that's formatted though.

True....I wonder why they dropped that cream of the streams feature?

I have to say I'm very curious to see them let off the BBC leash.

Kermode and Mayo’s Take launches worldwide on Thursday May 5

London, UK – April 1, 2022 – Sony Music Entertainment’s Global Podcast Division today announced it has formed a podcast partnership with leading film critic Mark Kermode and iconic host and movie fanatic Simon Mayo. The seasoned broadcasters will present Kermode and Mayo’s Take, a new twice weekly podcast series focusing on theatrical, streaming and physical film releases, as well as high-level global television in the UK and US beginning Thursday May 5th.

Sharing their expertise worldwide, Kermode and Mayo’s Take will feature the finest reviews and previews, big guest interviews and a cornucopia of audience correspondence in every episode. Listeners can expect discussions about current and classic releases, recommendations and warnings, as well as special episodes that respond to big news and events across the industry.

For the first time, the duo will also bring their much-loved dynamic to the world of TV, with Kermode extending his estimable powers of critique to high-level serialized fiction, giving audiences the best reviews from binge-worthy streaming series to cable TV. The world’s flagship film and television podcast, Kermode and Mayo’s Take will be an essential guide to listeners for everything they need to know on the big and small screens.

Kermode and Mayo’s loyal followers can also go deeper into the world of film and television by subscribing to Take 2 on Apple Podcasts. Exploring a wider variety of material and listener correspondence, Take 2 will feature an hour of recommendations for underseen movie and TV gems and the pair’s discussion of big recent movie releases in a spoilertastic fashion.

So an additional podcast 'Take 2' will be locked to Apple Podcasts which is a load of shite.

I usually don't listen to podcasts but I need me Kermodeandmayo fix. I wonder will they include DVD of the week/WTF or will Mark veto that. I loved the hatred he had for this (And I hope they keep the dad jokes)

It's the Kermode and Mayo film show. Without the pair of them it's not the same show.

But I'd be surprised if they don't do a replacement film show on it.

Mark Kermode and Ellen Jones have a R4 weekly film program called Screenshot which no doubt is up on sounds.

I litened once but it seemed to me an uncomfortable two hander.
