     Does the film live up to the title? No. It's your classic "girl puts scarf on a sexy snowman with abs and it comes to life and the village all believe him and they end up rattling" story. Packed to the gills with Mean Girls references and even a mention of A Christmas Prince.

A surreal blend of boring and slapstick that appeals to absolutely everyone... that reads the Daily Express. The moral we take from all this is that, no matter how terrible your script, Kelsey Grammar can still weave his magic. Support the show

    They DO move in herds!A podcast 65 million years in the making. That's right, the brothers Deeney are reviewing the greatest film ever made by humans. It came smashing onto our screens in 1993 like a brachiosaurus sneexing all over your sister, and has been shaking our glasses of water ever since. We celebrate Goldblum, Neil, Dern, Attenborough, Peck, and the children that are also involved in this monster hit. The boys discuss being too drunk to remember plays you've just seen, Belfast, and how a dinosaur might go about masturbating. It's the end of the season. We're tired. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bookofnowt)

    Is there a greater queen than Cleopatra? Except for Elizabeth I. And Catherine the Great. And Queen Latifa. Written in the annuls of history as humanity's most suductive ruler, we lift the lid on how unfair and nonsense the annuls of history actually are. In her 39 years she did an awful lot of living and we do a really fantastic job of clipping that to a manageable hour. A great leader with an iconic look and a penchant for partying hard, Cleopatra was amazing. Nearly as amazing as this amazing podcast. Tell your friends. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bookofnowt)
