Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo - Chariots of Fire - BBC 5 live

[AhndeeLennox]

Oh God, these two are just effortlessly hilarious <3. Also, who knew Simon was taller than Mark? I always envisioned it the other way around... Love Mark's flipflops & suit!

[brianellis1]

he can't half run for a fat lad

[EllSiefilms]

they are funny.

[undesirablenumber1]

Genius XD

[BrotherJosephus]

Like ThatGuyWithTheGlasses vs AVGN, this is epic!

[thefonze007]

simon rules

[Synchronization259]

Simon: "Jumper at number six."

Mark: "Yeah, we just did that"

LOL!

[grandmastarflash]

dumb ass. a doctorate in horror fiction makes you a doctor of philosophy! a phd in any subject makes you a doctor of philosophy. i have a phd in chemistry which means i am also a doctor of philosophy

[Finelight12]

Well, it may be that phd means doctor of philosophy, doesnt mean that your a philosopher.

[yeojohn]

Just brilliant

[angryzenmaster]

who is erma theakston?

[enigma19833]

Any man who wears sandals should be shot. Simple as that.

[starcraft108]

calm down mr hitler

[welshuser]

Usually I would agree with you, but those bullets would probably bounce off old Kermy!

[enigma19833]

Yeah they probably would. Especially any head shots. He has so much gunk plastered on his hair, they use it to cut diamonds. Kermy guest-lectures at my uni so I've seen it up close - it's inpenetrable!

Also, 8 "thumbs-down" or not, my "men in sandals" point still stands.

[JGodwinM]

These two are hilarious! Love the podcast.  Feel the need to say Hello to Jason Isaacs!

[foxtrotyankee]

I'm sorry Mark, that is a proper mincing run...

[storageheater]

Daft, but fabulous. And far far more entertaining than anything I've seen on Comic Relief night in years!

[BillyAndEthel]

50's throwback Mark... Kermode. if you can't prescribe drugs you aint a doctor. it's that simple. and when's he gonna start singing protest songs.

[grandmastarflash]

dude, you don't understand the title doctor. its that simple. check it out on wikipedia........ dumb ass. The boy Kermode is a Doctor of Philosophy.

[starcraft108]

yeh, you can be a DOCTOR of anything! Not just a medical doctor ya berk!

[BillyAndEthel]

yar, well, I'll be damned if i'm gonna accept a doctor of coco pops. if he can't explain why my eyeball itchess at night then to hell with him... or her... obviously.. this is the 50's after allit's like mastermind... one guy has the history of the universe as his chosen specialist subject and then some other joker comes along with the first 10 minutes of episode 1 of the simpsons.. IT JUST AINT RIGHT I TELLS YA.

[ConvectiveNorth]

Mayo and Kermode are the best double act on Radio. Both are brilliant...and I look forward to the Podcast every week.

[glaranger10]

He called Guy Ritchie an idiot after REVOLVER which suits me fine its total utter bollocks!!

[number94]

Mark K is a great guy - I hated him when I first saw him a few years ago, just because of his hair cut, but he is in fact very interesting and funny.

[ebeneezzer]

I remember Commode aking an absolute tit out of himself at the Edinburgh film festival.

He showed a clip of the film Amelie of the girl walking a blind man down a street and describing things and Commode said that the scene was a metaphor meaning the director is Amelie and the audience is the blind man and he is guiding us.

And the director (Junet) said "no no the scene is just about Amelie being kind to a blind man".

The audience pissed themselves laughing and commode just put his head down.

[bealedwhofloyd]

God I feel sorry for that guy Commode. Why you've commented it on this video is a mystery though.

[ebeneezzer]

Kermode = Commode

[degaulle30]

Now THAT is a true movie reviewer. Dishing the dirt whilst jogging for charity.

[Raymint]

@ebeneezzer Yeah, but he does that all the time though so ... in fact he may have even mentioned it on one of his podcasts - SO BACK OFF, INIT!

[bealedwhofloyd]

Yeah, why do you think I'm sucking up to him... but no really he is immense. And whaddya mean of the year! It's only March how can you say that when theres 8 months left to go in the year!

[dodger9uk]

Love this; love Independence Day and love the U2 3D comments. Only thing missing here is the Vangelis theme.

[neilno1]

People!

You do know the good doctor looks at these comments don't you?

So lets clear somethings up Zeppelin rule! U2 are terrible and Dr. Kermode is the best film critic of the year, so far!

[MoleinaHole]

I honestly hope for cretinous bad films to be released so Kermode launches into one of his wondrous textbook rants. Roll on 'Exorcist IV' written and directed by the 'Pirates of the Carribean team'

[BillyAndEthel]

hey it's the guy from top of the pops. don't know who the other twat is.

[bealedwhofloyd]

The other twat is you, the other legend is Dr Mark Kermode.

[BillyAndEthel]

yes I know... Dr of sitting your arse, munching popcorn and slagging off other people's creativity. pfft!

sorry, had a bit of fluff on my bottom lip there.

[bealedwhofloyd]

As the Dr would say 'you are sooo wrong'(I realise this makes me seem like an absolute loser, honestly I'm not.), you only have to listen to him to realise how great he is!

[BillyAndEthel]

to lose is to win so don't fight it.

actually i enjoy the movie review very much and i haven't watched a movie in years cos they're all crumby techniques and no story. prefer books. i just hoped the "doctor" would read it. i admire his honesty but he is a bit of a git. btw, led zep's music is hugely over-rated!

[bealedwhofloyd]

oh god, don't start on another of my favourite subjects Led Zeppelin are the greatest band ever to grace this earth! Yes kermode is a git but that's what makes his film reviews so entertaining! I don't particularly watch films and disagree with mark on joy division but his reviews are the best thing on radio!

[BillyAndEthel]

he's bang on when it comes to U2. awful band. really into The Dresden Dolls at the moment... chek em out!

[bealedwhofloyd]

yeah i hate U2 as well, and I will do that, thankyou sir/madam (its difficult to tell from your name).

[BillyAndEthel]

Billy was a mountain. Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder. I'm neither.

See Frank Zappa's entire back catalogue - it's in there somewhere.

[halfabeet]

If you're going to accuse someone of sitting on their arse, choosing to say so as a comment to a video of them jogging is probably not the best decision.

[BillyAndEthel]

true it would have been ironic had it been a reference to this vid. it was however, to do with how he got his doctorate. a degree in horror movies i think.

[KenKob85]

Mark Kermode: Legend!

[jakeslack27]

haha this is great. It got a little competitive there at the end, "cheat!" lol.

[scrubby1966]

Kermode in sandals, Mayo cutting corners, NO Exorcist references. Surely this is 'The Death of Narrative Running'.....

[OneWorldTV]

give them more time on a Friday, and stop interrupting them with the travel. Why not give him the 2pm - 4pm slot. I think everyone would agree with that.

[davidburch]

I agree with this. Kermode and Mayo are legends!

[maxfrasier]

i'd agree with that, it's my favourite hour of radio all week. it's not the same when kermode is away and james king (who is adequate but no kermode) stands in. mayo and kermode have a great chemistry.

[DirkSchooner]

They should do the film reviews like this every week.

[Shanewexford]

That really was very good. Despite moderate breathlessness, the interplay is more clear than it is in the studio, somehow. And I agree with TotalProduction, the film was lovely - just lovely.

[DODW]

Love Mark Kermode!! He's genius, just genius!! Simon is a good sidekick though!

[lukepgl]

Kermode, you are my hero! You two should get your own TV series where you go backpacking across asia whilst discussing asian cinema.

[jjchipol]

Mark is in the suit and sandels... Genius

[TotalProduction]

This is so lovely.

[TotalProduction]

This is so lovely.

[scrubby1966]

Brilliant, but the shots were a bit wobbly. Should have used a Teddycam! Maybe next year you guys could do the reviews whilst parachuting down over say the Bridge over the River Kwai

[TimEaston]

Great.

[thaddeuslowe]

Nice quiff!

[TheConciseStatement]

"I haven't finished me Jason Statham!" Aw, poor Mark's convinced that his impressions are spot on.

[TheConciseStatement]

YOU MENTIONED ME KERMODE! YOU REFERENCED THIS COMMENT ON THE SHOW!!! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN IN A COMPLETELY UNHEALTHY, OBSESSIVE WAY.

P.S. - Stop being a twat about Closer (2004), it's awesome.

[guussi]

too-much-teddy-boy-grease-to-t­ake-seriously

ducks-ass-debate

[spud135]

Kermode is just funny, even when running.

[TheConciseStatement]

For anyone who listened to the end of the podcast : was Kermode trying to pull that woman at the end of the show?

[welshuser]

I think he was just being chummy with her, because she was willing to watch the end of Redacted.

[TheConciseStatement]

Hah, just joking. I thought it was funny how her show was sort of being taken over by the bickering married couple of Kermode and Mayo. I've don't think she knew what to make of it all really.

[TheConciseStatement]

"I'm Nigel Havers, make way!"

[rb306]

going to the chapel and we're gong to be resuscitated!

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

Classic bit when Mayo asks Kermode to speed up and Kermode then sprints ...that was excellent. Mayo made out he wasnt out of breath at the end..Kermode was the Winner..flip flops sales rocket.

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

oh yeah and why didnt Dr Kermode wear a blue tracksuit and holding a white towel. Damien Karras..Very remiss of him. Ill shut up now.

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

Give mayo an Award for having to go to work with all those dimwitted country bumpkins.And kermode is God ..What would I do without the podcasts of Mayos Program and Kermodes films reviews .. Well done lads for the fab run.. The two best presenters on radio and Tv. Excellent stuff.. I will moan some more about Radio fives presenters..if thats ok.((excuse my name)). :o)

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

then you got Victoria derbyshire that suffers from ** I will interupt everyone who phones aup and then I will put my foot in my mouth* syndrom.. then you got that halfwit Richard Bacon.. flippin el LOSE YOUR EFFING VOICE PLEASE.. your a useless presenter.. who has an ego so huge ( why ? who knows). that it will explode anytime now.

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

If I havent said this already then I will again..( you tube so sloww to update comments). Mayo stands above any of those halfwits on radio five.. its a pathetic station full of brown nosed morons who ..sound either slimy worm tongued characters ** something outa dickens is peter allen)) skulking in corner and rubbing his hands with a sneaky grin on his face*sounding voice..

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

Kol I totally agree.. everyone else on radio five maybe apart from Nicky Campbell, is a complete cretin..(( excuse my name when I say this)..but victoria derbyshire must be in someones pocket.. peter allen sounds like something off some horros film..( weasle tongued slimy worm tongue)). I cannot stand radio five ..I only tune into Simon Mayo. Its such an incrowd on that station it makes me vomit. Brown nosed bastds the lot of em.. useless presenters too..

[ogglefish]

love it that the good doctor still waves his arms around whilst talking!

...and he does a lot more talking!

And Mayo, you cheated!

[drhans]

I hereby nominate the Good Doctor Kermode for Sports Personality of the Year 2008. Someone hurry up and second that!

[Kolinko1]

Mayo is the best all round radio presenter in the UK - diverse, knowlegeable, witty and great interviewing style.

[graceannecatherine]

Inspirational, lads!

[veryphonics]

they should made this in 3D, doing so would of accentuated dr k's flip flops.

[mypetfrog]

Dr K... you would have nailed him on the last corner but for those silly flipflops!
