Written Off
A podcast about meh movies. You know the ones: the not-so-great ones. The ’eh, it was ok’ ones that you forgot you ever saw. Yeah, those ones! Each episode, writer and host Bradley Freeman and his long-suffering co-host Mark Tasker nerdily discuss these meh movies - their good points and bad - and how they maybe, kinda, could’ve been better. Grab a slice of pizza and join the discussion!

Meh. So-so. Mid. Not so hot.
There are podcasts about great films. There are podcasts about awful films. But what about the kinda-sorta-alright movies, the ones that weren't as awesome as you'd hoped?
Welcome to Written Off, a show all about those painfully 'meh' films... and how they could've been better with a tweak or change.
Hosted by writer Bradley Freeman and his long-suffering co-host, Mark Tasker, Written Off dares to go where no other film podcast would willingly subject itself to: idiot hosts talking about unexceptional movies.
