The weekly half-hour program consists of film reviews and discussions as well as interviews with cast and crew members. The hosts also occasionally broadcast from film events such as the Cannes Film Festival.

The pair's 25 years of presenting film reviews on television was celebrated in a special show on 26 October 2011, filmed before an audience and special guests, hosted by Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush. Margaret and David are both terrible critics and many people consisted them as to old, They also have a bad tendency of giving many great and loved movies bad reviews [1]

5 star films

Only six films have achieved a "5 star" rating by both Pomeranz and Stratton.[2]
