About This Podcast

Welcome to Films Under Discussion, a movie review podcast so named for the trio of FUDs behind the mics.

Long time pals, Des, Paul, and Jack love nothing more than discussing, dissecting and quite often disagreeing about all things cinema. So much so, they started up a film club for friends and family back in 2017; the "Cinematic Understanding N' Talk Society".

Enjoying their own patter so much, and being three lads approaching middle age (some faster than others), they were moved to bring this mature and sensible insight to the masses. Throw in some facts, quizzes and the odd philosophical meander, and you've got Films Under Discussion.

The format is simple, unique and infinitely repeatable...

One of the FUDs picks a theme and a corresponding film to match. The other two follow with their own film choices based on their interpretation of the theme. Then off they go, discussing one film per episode to varying degrees of sense, taste and decency until the theme is resolved.

Then they do it all again as the next FUD in line picks their theme.
