About
OLLIE
Ollie finds writing about himself in the third person very odd, and is attempting to not come across as a narcissist. Within the podcast, he can be recognised as the one who has transitioned from the highest voice to the lowest, has an obnoxiously loud mic and chair, and has the inability to ever recite the correct introduction. His hobbies include playing basketball, not collecting basketball cards, reading, films, TV (and all of it), playing the drums, and oddly being really good at Minesweeper. His film tastes largely consist of sci-fi, action and comedy.
TOP 5 MOVIES
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Shawshank Redemption
Inception
Reservoir Dogs
The Dark Knight
Although Ollie’s list is slightly less volatile, he does realise that 3 of the 5 films are within the top 10 rated on IMDb, and the other two are Star Wars and Tarantino. Also, the list is in no particular order.

THOM
Thom strives to be as nerdy as possible at all times. This includes his interests being: D&D, Star Trek, reading, and playing board games. He is also a bit musical and is able to play piano (jazz grade 5) and guitar, occasionally using his free time to be infuriated by his lack of song ideas. Generally Thom likes to spend his time picking up as many hobbies as possible, then giving up on all of them due to a lack of time.
TOP 5 MOVIES
Blues Brothers
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
The Dark Knight
Trainspotting
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
This list is definitely not final, and can fluctuate often (for example Goodfellas could probably go on there currently or LOTR and Star Wars, however including those two franchises felt like cheating as did Tarantino movies) because Thom is scared of finality.

Ben
Ben's life revolves around film and music because nothing else particularly interesting ever happens to him. His hobbies include writing music, but unfortunately he very rarely has enough ideas to flesh out into actual songs. However, instead of being sensible and spending his money on ghostwriters, he founded Longwater Productions, working both in person and online on a variety of music projects for bands & artists, offering recording, mixing and production. He is very proud of that subtle plug. His movie tastes generally consist of older science fiction and horror movies, but he also enjoys comedies and thrillers.
TOP 5 MOVIES
Blade Runner
The Thing
Joker
A Clockwork Orange
Videodrome
Ben's list fluctuates quite a bit but those are the five that stick, the other being They Live which is another John Carpenter film, so he didn't include it for fear of being perceived as having a limited taste (which he undeniably does).

Entertainment of Excellence Podcast
We are three guys reviewing: film, TV, all of it. No fuss, no nonsense, exactly what it says on the tin. We focus on films and TV shows for our main segment, but also discuss anything ranging from music to art to poetry in our recommendations section. In our Submissions Spotlight section, fans can send us in their work to be reviewed live on air. We don't edit our episodes except to keep them clean, because we aim to have a more laid back atmosphere, just like chatting to your friends.We started this podcast for fun as a hobby. We are not sponsored or endorsed in any way (we’re not well enough known for that!), so the only bias we may have is our personal views.
Fun fact - all three of us play in the psychedelic rock band Mood Organ! Ollie plays drums, Thom plays guitar & keys, Ben plays bass & synths.
