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

We try not to confuse Christian Petzold with his fellow prolific European auteurs François Ozon and Olivier Assayas ahead of our discussion of Miroirs No. 3, Petzold's intriguing new drama about a Berlin pianist (Paula Beer) who gets 'adopted' by a lonely woman after a car crash.

We then take a look at Exit 8, a nifty little thriller based on the simple walking video game of the title, in which you must escape the Tokyo metro tunnels using the power of spot the difference.

And talking of video games, the team look back at the highs and many lows of video game adaptations over the years and asks what makes for a successful one.
