Podcasts about bad movies? What is this the 90s? Podcasts about good movies? Passé! Shite & Sound is the only podcast brave enough to talk about a good movie and a bad movie, at the same time. Each week, comedians and film buffs Finn Nicolas and Uther Dean watch and review two films, one critically beloved, the other critically reviled, and they try to work out whether these movies are Shite or Sound.
