A vodcast is a videoed film review which was available from the Radio 5 Live website. The first one recorded was for Spider-Man 3\. It was spectacuarly followed by the duel location [Kermodian rant](Kermodian_rant) of over 10 minutes on [Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End](https://web.archive.org/web/20211130122516/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYfbc1B-i4I).
A number of names were suggested before "vodcast" was settled on. One listener who had a German house servant called Arnie (and was worried Arnie would be too easily distracted by being able to not just hear but _see_ Mark) called it a VipCo; [Justine Green](Justine_Green) suggested VidPod, which [Mark](Mark_Kermode) thought sounded South African. [Martin in Old Portsmouth](Martin_in_Old_Portsmouth) suggested it be called television.
A running theme for a while was that every week [Simon](Simon_Mayo) would mention that the [lights had come on](TURN_THE_LIGHTS_ON) because the Vodcast was starting. Except that one week they hadn't, which Mark suggested would give a sense of noir lighting. This was something Simon dismissed.
