Listen to The Cineskinny podcast!
The Cineskinny is the film review podcast from The Skinny – on our latest episode, reviews of Witches, Grand Theft Hamlet, and Luca Guadagnino's Queer
The Cineskinny is the film podcast from some of the team behind The Skinny – every fortnight we take some kind of look at the wide world of The Movies. We're talking classic films, brand-new films, film festivals, the politics of film, arthouse thinkers *and* action bangers with loads of explosions.
New episodes of The Cineskinny are out every fortnight; listen below. You can also listen to The Cineskinny on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Latest Episode
Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig team up to adapt William Burroughs in Luca's second film of 2024, Queer, so we talk about that. Elizabeth Sankey draws the link between society's flawed understanding of post-partum mental health and society's flawed understanding of witchcraft in new doc Witches, so we talk about that as well. And Grand Theft Hamlet is *sort of* what it says on the tin, in that it's a late pandemic doc about loneliness, futility, community and aliens in fighter jets. Naturally, we talk about that too.
Gang's all here, throw in a bit of chat about David Lynch and Fran Drescher and baby, you've got an episode of The Cineskinny goin'.
