That Podcast Thing is a UK based podcast network that is building up an interesting portfolio of shows. We start with Home Movie Club, where, for each episode, we take an irreverent (and many times irrelevant) look at the highest grossing movies since 1930.

    We ask whether we should, debate the hotness of Jeff Goldblum and groan at those hacker scenes. All in all an iconic film marks the end of Season 1 of Home Movie Club, but what did the team think?

    This time we look at 1954s Rear Window, a Hitchcock classic about a murder... or is it? When a man is trapped in a room for weeks on end, does his imagination get the better of him, or is there really foul play in the apartment across the courtyard?

    Podcasters Assemble!! This time we look at 2012s Avengers Assemble, the first of the big league MCU team cross-overs, and the film that set the standard for all that followed. But is it any good, and have we played too much of the Lego Avengers game to be subjective?

    We've got a sinking feeling about this as the the good ship HMC faces down something worse than a rogue iceberg. Yes, it's James Cameron's 1997 mega-hit, Titanic.

    This time we look at 2002's top grossing movie, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. A movie that is so long that it nearly broke the podcast, BUT not so long as to not have multiple confusing problems for anyone who had not seen the first movie in a while.
