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.

Host and noted skyscraper wench Bradley Freeman (@brad_is_writing) and his beleaguered co-host, Mark Tasker, attempt to (sigh) wrestle this episode to the ground.Who will win? Certainly not these two morons... but you, dear listener, just might!Join them as they ponder:
Why set a meh movie in another country and not utilise it in the story? Oh, because money.
Has there ever been a meh movie 'best friend' that so obviously HATED his buddy this much before?

What could've made this meh movie better? Listen and find outttttt!

Host and writer Bradley Freeman (@brad_is_writing) is joined by his forever friend and long-suffering co-host, Mark Tasker, to try to explain just what you're in for with this series and these fools in general. They fail miserably, of course, but at least a (meh?) attempt was made.Three questions are asked:
Who the hell are they?
How'd they meet (Bradley *still* doesn't think anyone cares about this one)?
What separates this show from the bajillion other movie podcasts out there?
Scintillating hints on future episodes, the first (of many, many) weird voice-impression-thing(s) that Bradley loves to do for some reason... and even a pug!Why, it's so jam-packed full of content, you'd better follow this podcast now! Please?
