Hi, I'm Jeffrey and I am a Feldenkrais Method and Kinēsa practitioner. Feldenkrais and Kinesa are somatic practices that focus primarily on helping people become aware of the invisible, habitual choices they make. What we don't know we're doing is where the gold is. Through experimentation, you can find new and better choices. We use movement as the primary vehicle for exploration. But why movement? People are numb and disconnected from their bodies. Movement is connected with and influences thinking and emotional patterns. The ability to move well deeply affects the quality of a person's life. Learning through somatic movement processes is fun, mind-expanding, and always a new adventure.

Film reviews and movie trailers of the best cinema, as well as a stunning podcast with film critics providing film reviews and banter. Alongside some of the biggest releases, as also cover indie film reviews, short film reviews and more. Our genre specific shows include The Fantom Zone - covering all your superhero film reviews, The Scream Test - horror film reviews, New Releases, and Gay, Actually - our LGBTQ+ film reviews. And UK Film Club, hosted by Chris Olson and Brian Penn, with film reviews of movies from all genres, including the latest cinema releases, streaming picks, short films, indie films, and their nostalgia pick.


Filmmakers can now submit their films to be reviewed on the UK Film Review Podcast by visiting our website.


Explore our archive of film reviews and episodes from a Christopher Nolan special, to films about sports. Our expert film critics have also conducted filmmaker interviews, chatted about film festivals, played trailers from upcoming movies and more. If you are a film fan, then this is the film podcast for you.


New episodes are released weekly, generally on Thursdays, with ad hoc episodes popping up from time to time. Sometimes the submissions from filmmakers to UK Film Review to review their short film or indie movie on our film podcast can be numerous, leading to additional episodes being needed to cover all the film reviews. We also do seasonal episodes in order to cover special topics, such as Christmas films in December, or films for the year in January. Check out The Scream Test show in October for an extra special spooky episode.


If you are a fan of film history, then the UK Film Review Podcast is also right up your projector (is that a phrase?). Our film critics cherish film history, and will often regale listeners with a deep dive into cinema's history. Whether it's the films of Alfred Hitchcock or the advent of 3D, movie buffs and film history aficionados will find a welcome home in our film podcast community.


The UK Film Review Podcast shows also often team up with other film podcasts to produce super shows! We love working with our film-loving podcasts and bringing extra special episodes to our listeners. If you are a film podcast, drop us a line and we can discuss a collaboration.


Finding the right film podcast for you shouldn't be difficult, that's our aim. Which is why we provide multiple shows within one, in order to cover a range of topics and genres, offering a variety of podcast hosts, each with a different background in film criticism and a different penchant for entertaining listeners. Whilst we aim to cover film is our priority, we often divert into TV and Entertainment too, even Culture at times! Don't judge us harshly but do enjoy our witty banter and playful asides as we navigate the terrific world behind screens. We know there are a variety of other film podcasts for you to choose (we love them too) and we thank everyone and anyone who listens to the UK Film Review Podcast. It is an honour to have the Play Button pushed and our film reviews splurged into your ears (definitely not a saying). Remember to join our podcast community on social media too and drop us a follow in all the usual places. We like to promote new episodes of our show, discuss the various new cinema releases and film reviews that accompany them, and every so often we run a prize giveaway to a lucky listener! What's not to like about that?


So, if reading this description of the UK Film Review Podcast has you thumping your chest like Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of Wall Street, then get listening!
