“Top Boy offers a more nuanced, humanising insight into working-class lives, which too often have been offensively caricatured.” Franklyn Addo 👇echoes @CJNwonka’s take on the @BAFTA winning series in this week’s show #topboy https://t.co/QCpGiFHME2

Love #TopBoy ? You'll love this 👇This week's guest @CJNwonka's written the first ever book on the British Urban Film genre. We discuss how the UK politics of the 70s and 80s fed into this critically undervalued genre of the 2000s and beyond. Listen here: https://t.co/xcN55kYB5r

I’d already bought ⁦@annabdemented⁩’s Unlikeable Female Characters before I listened to this episode of ⁦@Open2Criticism⁩, but this was a fantastic pre-read primer and after listening it jumped straight to the top of the ‘to read’ pile. https://t.co/icLwBkKho3

Is #Barbie a rom-com - or just the overdue end of a toxic love story? 💔 This week @corrinacorrina reclaims the #romcom 👇👇, a genre that's been relentlessly denigrated - I know: films about women - often by women - being denigrated?! 😉😆 Listen here:  https://t.co/j35bZ9rIUz

[Wendy Lloyd @WendyLloydvoice]

Cheers Mark! And here’s a link to the episode he’s talking about: https://t.co/Op9w8Osjfg

Anton Bitel (⁦@AntBit⁩) is one of the most insightful, analytical and well -informed critics around, so I knew this episode would be a must, but his insight into the difference between evaluation and criticism (analysis) is worth the full ★★★★★ https://t.co/UkmGeTZpO3

[Corrina Antrobus 🍉 @corrinacorrina]

Loved talking to Wendy about my forthcoming book (if only to remind myself I actually remember half of what I wrote). Thanks for having me on Open To Criticism to talk feminism and romcoms! 💕

[Open To Criticism @Open2Criticism]

Can we be a #feminist AND love Rom-Coms? 🤔Hell yeah! 💪 😎This week’s guest @corrinacorrina explains why. Join me, as we dig into this much maligned genre in anticipation of her forthcoming book that celebrates Rom-Coms via the feminist lens. Listen here: https://t.co/j35bZ9rIUz

Check out this week's podcast where critic @AntBit discusses the changing face of film criticism with the rise of social media influencers - clip👇 Plus the scourge of star ratings, and the argument FOR spoilers - yes: there really is one! Listen here: https://t.co/qFoCJ7XA1g

[Open To Criticism @Open2Criticism]

Is the tension between critics and #influencers just part of a bigger struggle between what film critics want to say and what publicists would LIKE us to say? 😮 This week @AntBit talks frankly about this, screening etiquette, spoilers +⭐️ratings (+ @AshantiOmkar from S1:E8)👇

[Open To Criticism @Open2Criticism]
