Films have the power to change the world, even the bad ones. Here on the 23:25 Filmcast, we celebrate films of the past, present and future, through laughter, tears, and sometimes frustration. Your hosts Riyadh Ali and Daniel Friedlos (not Gibbons anymore), bring you content that might be good, might be fun, or just total bollocks. You'll hear film & TV reviews, trivia games, interviews and our '5 Minute Improv Movie Pitch... Game... Segment... Thing' (Still haven't nailed a title yet). Find us through our production company, '23:25 Pictures', on Facebook and Instagram.
