The Outatime Film Podcast
Two British hosts review films with a unique, satirical twist: they often discuss entirely fictional movies as if they were real blockbusters.
This is a high-concept, satirical film review podcast. The two hosts, Tom and John, adopt a classic review format to discuss plot, casting, box office, and critical reception. The show's central joke is that they frequently apply this format to movies that do not exist, creating an alternate reality of film history where Steven Spielberg has a new sci-fi epic and 'Toy Story 5' is the franchise's lowest-rated entry at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“The core gimmick of reviewing fictional films in exhaustive, sincere detail is its most distinctive feature. This conceptual comedy sets it apart from the crowded field of standard movie review shows by creating its own cinematic universe to critique.”
Who hosts this show
The Outatime Film Podcast is a weekly film and TV review show hosted by Tom and John from Manchester, UK. While they discuss actual releases, their signature is delivering in-depth, spoiler-filled reviews of completely fictional films—from a non-existent 'Toy Story 5' to a panned 'Masters of the Universe' reboot—treating them with the seriousness of a real premiere. The hosts' social media links identify them as Tom (@OutatimeTom) and John (@OutatimeJohn).
