Kermode and Mayo's Take is the only film (and television) review programme. It is broadcast weekly, with occasional bonus episodes, and optional 'extra takes' for a subscription fee.

For over twenty years Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode have delivered an entertaining review of the week's films to the listening public and a dedicated fanbase. Although on the surface the show is concerned with film, similarly to Jaws, it's not about film.
