Latest Episode
It's the end of the year, sort of, so on this episode of The Cineskinny the whole gang are back and full of the cold to run through ten of 2023's best films.
Peter, Jamie, Anahit and Ellie race through a list of challenging, exciting, engaging hits from the past year – with a pleasing number of narcissistic wrong 'uns for us to judge and mock.
