Fred Asquith Goes From Viral Videos to Weekly Film Reviews

Social media star turns his comedy success into a podcast reviewing all the latest film and TV

Thanks to support from Fred Asquith.

You probably recognise Fred Asquith from his comedy skits on social media, with his video sketches often featuring his “darling wife” racking up millions of views and counting.

As seems to be a growing trend, Asquith is using this moment to convert his short-form popularity into something more in-depth, launching a podcast that focuses on his true passion: cinema.

As a self-proclaimed movie-buff, the podcast feels like a natural extension for Fred, creating a space to share his passion for cinema. Each week, he delivers in-depth reviews, red-carpet commentary and entertaining hot takes. Whether he’s ranting or raving about a film, he helps listeners discover what’s worth watching and why.

Asquith covers everything from the latest releases to bingeable series to old classics. From Avatar to Love is Blind to Wicked, no genre is off limits. Other recent episodes have included the much-talked-about Wuthering Heights, a deep dive into the Stranger Things finale and a conversation with the incredible Avatar filmmaker, James Cameron.  

With Fred’s light-hearted and accessible yet engaging tone, grounded in his film knowledge, the podcast is for casual viewers and committed cinephiles alike to laugh, learn from and enjoy.
