Lights, Camera... Aggro?
Lights, Camera… Aggro? is a movie podcast where two film fans with completely different tastes review, debate, and discuss everything from Marvel movies and Hollywood blockbusters to independent cinema, character-driven dramas, and award-winning films.
Phil loves superhero movies, action films, blockbuster franchises, and as many car chases as possible. Nicky prefers thoughtful storytelling, nuanced scripts, character-led dramas, and films that capture the beauty of real life.
Each episode features honest movie reviews, lively film discussions, and entertaining debates as they search for common ground. Can Nicky find something to love in the latest superhero blockbuster? Will Phil survive a slow-burning drama where the biggest action is a conversation?
Whether you’re into Marvel, Oscar contenders, indie films, action movies, or simply love hearing passionate film fans talk movies, Lights, Camera… Aggro? delivers funny conversations, fresh perspectives, and plenty of disagreements along the way. Sometimes they agree. More often, they don’t—and that’s what makes it worth listening.
