The Films Of...Edgar WrightWelcome to a brand new podcast series from UK Film Review, expanding our collection of shows within the UK Film Review Podcast umbrella. This time, our critics Callum Ewing and James Learoyd are diving deep into the career of a director who is now a bona fide auteur, starting with the frenetic, genre-blending works of the British filmmaker Edgar Wright.In this inaugural episode of "The Films Of...", Callum and James dissect the director’s signature style. Expect a detailed look at his hyperkinetic, rhythmic editing, the meticulous sound design, and his mastery of visual comedy, where every camera movement and cut serves a humorous or narrative purpose. The hosts discuss how Wright subverts expectations by effortlessly fusing action, horror, science fiction, and comedy, often paying ingenious homage to classic cinema in the process.Join the critics as they celebrate a filmmaker who elevates genre cinema and makes even the most mundane of routines look like high-octane spectacle. If you appreciate cinematic flair, razor-sharp dialogue, and films that are essentially musicals disguised as action-comedies, this episode is essential listening.Head to our website for the latest movie reviews and more from the UK Film Review Podcast collection of the best film podcasts.
