This week on FoF I breakdown how they could make The Traitors EVEN BETTER. Donāt get me wrong, Iāve been loving this series, but it could be INCREDIBLE with these tweaks. Imagine if you actually wanted to watch the missions?! Plus; Iām excited by Steven Knightās (Peaky Blinders) new Bond script teaser, Hans Zimmer is scoring the new HBO Harry Potter seriesā¦ or is he? And I breakdown some of your reactions to 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. To finish off, I take you into the mind of 2008 ...
This week on FoF Iām reviewing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (no spoilers) and explaining why itās my favourite 28 movie yet. From Nia DaCosta out Danny Boyle-ing Danny Boyle and bringing back the human threat, to Ralph Fiennes absolutely stealing the show in a way that feels genuinely awards-worthy. I also go on a (deeply necessary) rant about the latest Traitors chaos and my big prediction for potential finalist, before taking you on a mini tour of Dolby HQ in Soho where I got a proper At...
Welcome back to reality then, my little Christmas hams. On this weekās FoF: Iām reviewing the finale of Stranger Things. You may know, I think Stranger Things is sheet, but did the finale win me over? The Traitors has a new āSecret Traitorā twist, but is it ACTUALLY fun not knowing who a traitor is? Iām sorting 2026 films into categories of āGO AWAYā, āCURIOUSā and āMOST ANTICIPATEDā, looking at movies like āThe Social Reckoningā, Christopher Nolanās āThe Odysseyā, āDevil Wears Prada...
Itās Chrimbo limbo. Life is desolate. Youāre busy flogging stuff to CeX, I get it. So this is a brief, uplifting pod where Iām reviewing one of my favourite films of recent months and basically crying my eyes out on the Pod. PLUS weāll be running down movies you can watch after Christmas in the limbo and all the way till February. Weāre talking New Years Movies, weāre talking Snowy Movies, weāre talkingā¦ well watch the forking pod and find out. Timestamps: (00:00) Agenda - (01:20) T...
It's a late-Christmas surprise from Santa Fred! A bonus episode of FoF to warm your toes by the fire to. In this episode, I start off with a rundown of some very exciting trailers, including my worries for Disclosure Day and my excitement for The Odyssey. I then dive into THE FOFSCARS! Your definitive, alternative movie awards for 2025, including fun categories such as "Most Tears Shed", "Best Needle Drop", "Swing And A Miss", plus a few categories suggested by YOU the listener.&n...
This week on FoF itās a quickfire pre-Christmas review episode of 3 movies that are all interesting for very different reasons; Joachim Trierās Sentimental Value (a cosy-but-devastating father/daughter story that I may need to rewatch), Josh Safdieās manic Marty Supreme (think Anora meets Catch Me If You Can meets Whiplash), and the twisty, seggsy, slightly deranged popcorn thriller The Housemaid (fundamentally ball sheet, butā¦..)

This week on FoF itās an AVATAR SPECIAL: I take you behind the scenes of my first ever junket interviewing James Cameron for Avatar: Fire and Ash in Paris, from Eurostar chaos and five-star hotels to the surreal nerves of waiting outside his hotel room and finally sitting down with one of the greatest living directors. I break down how the whole thing came together, play you our full 4-minute chat (including talk of height, kickboxing, performance capture and AI making movies), and then giv...
This week on FoF Iām fresh back from Paris after interviewing James Cameron (still not over it), and I tease the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash special, plus why Iām apparently seeing Avatar 3 again to catch the rumoured trailer double-whammy. Then I dive into Quentin Tarantinoās brutal Paul Dano take and explain why, as a There Will Be Blood obsessive, I think heās completely missed the point of that performance. And in the biggest industry bombshell of the episode, I unpack the talk of Net...
This week on FoF: I unpack the whole saga of how I nearly ended up on Sky News to talk Wicked, why I basically āPrince Andrew-edā the opportunity, and what it actually says about FoF quietly creeping up in the film world (yes, even CNN have been sniffing around). From there we tumble into Christmas ad season as I crown the undisputed winner, lay into Coca-Colaās uncanny AI truck nightmare, side-eye Tescoās melancholic effort, and ask whether the Christmas advert conveyor belt has comple...
SPOILERS!! This week on FoF I have my biggest rant yet in tackling the fallout and backlash to my negative review of Wicked: For Good - it's been intense to say the least and Iāve got A LOT of thoughts. I reflect on whatās fair in film criticism, whether seeing the musical is required context, and why the plot is nonsensical and MORE in the timestamps below. Plus, I praise Tom Cruise for his honorary Oscar, marvel at James Cameron's Jurassic Park near-hit, and express my theory connecting Jim...
SPOILERS!! This week I give you insight into my attendance at the WICKED: FOR GOOD Premiere, before diving into a full, frank and honest review on the movie. Please note, this review has MAJOR SPOILERS of the plot of this movie, so if you've never seen the musical I advise you listen after your screening.

This week on FoF I give the full rundown of my Traitors Castle experience with Tiktok (and why I was a terrible Traitor). I also then explain why Nick was such a terrible Celebrity Faithful, as well as discuss why Squid Game The Challenge S2 isn't working for me. We then rundown the Best Pre-Christmas Movies to watch in November and get in the spirit, before finishing off with reviews of "Anemone" and "Predator: Badlands". Explore the FoF socials/YT via my creepy website HERE. TIMESTA...
This week on FoF Iām telling you why Squid Game: The Challenge is better than it's parent series, and "Titanic" is the greatest major movie accomplishment of our lifetime. But not before revealing 2 HUGE invites I got this week for FoF related events you will be hearing far more about. I'm also reviewing the new Jennifer Lawrence movie "Die My Love", which is a Stealth Horror movie let me tell you (no spoilers for that one), including a new addition into the list of annoying things someone ca...
This week on FoF Iām under two blankets, spiralling into a myriad of rants, and reviewing two brand new films: the tense, lo-fi "Bugonia" (no spoilers) and the sweaty, twitchy "Ballad of a Small Player" (spoilers!). Elsewhere: I talk Celebrity Traitors, why I pulled down a reel, and how Stranger Things has somehow invented cinema! WOW! I also make a public plea for an "Aftermath" poster at Stratford station.

This week on FoF: we discuss more of your suggestions for Imperfect but 10/10 movies, I also run through the 6 times in my life I've felt genuinely scared by a movie or scene, starting with my first sleepless night at 6 years old. We have a run through of my recent TV viewing including a protracted RANT about why I'm disappointed by the Celebrity Traitors series. I also review the new Kathryn Bigelow political thriller "A House of Dynamite" starring Rebecca Ferguson, coming soon to Netflix. E...
This week on FoF: a play-by-play of how I was invited, denied and then finally admitted onto the BFI London Film Festival Red Carpet. PLUS, I tell a hilarious anecdote about Chloe Zhao leading me and Steven Spielberg in some group meditation, I also review "Frankenstein" and "After The Hunt", which are wildly related movie titles now I think about it. Also - a shoutout for more of YOUR Imperfect 10/10s - DM me @fredasquithonfilm on Instagram! Explore the FoF socials/YT via my creepy website ...
This week on FoF: a thank you to everyone I met at the Pulp Kitchen event. Plus, my theory on the excellent pacing of āOne Battle After Anotherā, the longeivity of Alan Partridge as a character, and a rundown of the London Film Festival so far including the earliest screening ever of a very special upcoming movie. And MORE! Explore the FoF socials/YT via my creepy website HERE. TIMESTAMPS (00:00) TikTok/Insta @fredasquithonfilm - THANKS FOR 10k! (00:50) Mailbag/Questions from you guys (01:2...
This week on FoF: my new home cinema setup refuses to woof, and hope for the 5-star masterpiece "One Battle After Another". PLUE I review "The Lost Bus" and "The Smashing Machine" - both true stories. One is a claustrophobic thriller and the other stars The Rock. And yes, I do decide if heās winning the Oscar. And MORE!

This week on FoF: lashings of praise for "One Battle After Another", the new movie from Paul Thomas Anderson starring the one and only Leo. Maybe PTA's funniest, most accessible and emotional movie yet. I walk through my spoiler-free thoughts, unpack why PTA remains in a league of his own, and then rank ALL of his films from worst to best (including One Battle). PLUS - Iāve finally got a home cinema system set up (and reveal my first Blu Rays), discuss a movie that wonāt be released until 211...
Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the FoF podcast feed. To celebrate, I went on my biggest FoF rant to date (yes, even bigger than Happy Gilmore 2). But which film broke me? In this episode, I review "Spinal Tap II", "The Long Walk", and "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey". (We also touch on the Emmys, the new Mitchell & Webb sketch show, and the Charlie Sheen documentary.)
