There is a film review show broadcast on Fridays on BBC Radio 5
Live and has been running since 2001, Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode are the hosts. Dave downloads their podcast every week (posted every
Friday) to listen to while driving to work. You can also watch their show on YouTube.
This show can be hilarious and weird and goofy and thoughtful. Mark Kermode is the film reviewer and Simon Mayo is the radio dj. Mark is known for doing Kermodian Rants when he really hates/dislikes a movie. His rants about Sex in the City 2 and Entourage are pretty famous.
Another part of the show is they read listeners emails. This
perpetuates a whole lingo, Qualifications,
the Church of Wittertainment,
saying hello to Jason Isaacs,
and the Wittr app to find other followers. There is also a Witterpedia page. A
few months ago we were listening to a podcast where Mark and Simon were reading
emails about a Battenberg fetish. They have also come up with a Code of Conduct
of how to watch a movie in the theatre.
Mark and Simon take six weeks off for a summer vacation and spend time with their families (this is common in England because schools only give 6 weeks of summer break). Another joke is that they do a Wittertainment cruise ship during the summer break. Now that I have given this background information I have to share Dave’s tweet. Dave sent a tweet to Simon Mayo about the cruise and he responded back. Dave was so giddy and excited about this. It also spawned other responses.
