Best Guilty Pleasure Films

Subscribe for access to all our bonus Mini Bits shows where we talk about recent releases and what we're watching.

A podcast about the best bits of films and sometimes TV.

The Best Bits is a film and TV podcast hosted by writers Will Collins (Wolfwalkers, Star Wars - Screecher's Reach) and Kevin Lehane (Grabbers, Neil Gaiman's Likely Stories). Whether picking their favourite scenes from randomly selected weirdly specific themes, recording commentaries for classics, recapping terrific TV, or giving a second chance to a film they didn't see the first time, they can be heard having the craic and celebrating The Best Bits.
