Do you ever feel like you spend too much talking about unimportant nonsense? Fed up of conversing with real people about the problems of the world today? Do you feel an inescapable urge to talk about something genuine? We get it, we do too. Here, you can sit back, relax, and listen to two British uni students (ironically) talk at length about, review and dissect the most important topic of all, movies. Feel no pressure to think about the outside world, why would you want to anyway? Just relax, switch your brain on to film and focus in. You’re listening to Reel Conversations.
Its Oscars time! Ben and Pippa discuss The Oscars and... um... er... its mainly the Oscars really. Yeah. Listen to us talk about the Oscars!
