About this episode

Fred Asquith reviews the return of Rom-Coms and Crime-Capers in Hollywood with a focus on 'Finding Emily' and 'Tuner'.

This week on FoF we indulge in 2 types of movies Hollywood does not make anymore…except they just did! Finding Emily (which is a British Rom Com tbf and not Hollywood), and Tuner (a cool Crime-Caper) both pleased me on different levels and for different reasons which we will go into in full FoF depth, with laughs along the way. We discuss the return of the Rom-Com and why being a "Sunday Afternoon" movie is no bad thing. I finish with another RANT about people talking in cinemas ARRGHHHH SUBSCRIBE and join the FoF Family!
