Pop Screen Best of 2023

Pop Screen

Last week, our sister podcast Uncut took you through January through to June in our two-part review of 2023. Now, Pop Screen takes up the reigns with Vincent, Naomi, Rob, Graham, Kat, Simon, Mike, Oliver and James all returning to give their favourite films of the second half of the year - culminating in that all-important top ten. What will make the cut? Who did Barbenheimer on the day of release? How many diverging opinions on Saltburn can we get? And who put the Puss in Boots sequel above the new Scorsese? But it's not all about the year's big talking points and blockbusters. We also shine the spotlight on smaller films you might have missed, including The Passenger, Raging Grace, Femme, Trenque Lauquen, Smoking Causes Coughing, Eileen, How to Have Sex, Afire and many more. We'll be back in a fortnight's time with a regular Pop Screen episode on Mick Jagger's first acting role in Performance, but until then... ...if you want more, you can always donate to our Patreon where you'll get monthly bonus episodes of this show, exclusive podcasts about cult franchises and the wider world of movies and TV, written articles about classic Asian genre cinema, plus cult TV reviews covering The X-Files, Red Dwarf and Doctor Who.
