    All for one, and all for love! This episode sees Morgan take Tom back to 1993 and the strangely-forgotten action romp The Three Musketeers, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Chris O'Donnell and Tim Curry. Tom thought he'd seen it, but when he watched it the night before, this was apparently not the case. But what did he think of it? We discuss: Why are they called Musketeers when they only seem to use swords? Tom's concept of something having 'no legacy' purely because he's never heard of it The brilliance of Dogtanian and Albert the Fifth Musketeer Why the film has, according to Morgan, a "highly f***able" cast Tom's weird dissing of Chris O'Donnell Why we're still annoyed about Drew from Neighbours' death What the hell have they done to Paul McGann?

    "And slowly, but surely, they drew their plans against us..." For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan all about a true one-off: the sci-fi prog rock concept musical album adaptation of HG Wells' War of the Worlds, by Jeff Wayne. Morgan gets flabbergasted at the album's enduring popularity, as he hears songs like 'Eve of the War' and 'Forever Autumn' for the first time, much to Tom's dismay. We discuss: The gravitas of Richard Burton and the surprisingly decent David Essex The gall and the gumption of Jeff Wayne sticking his name on the album and spending A LOT of money - but it worked! How Tom grew up with an actual typewriter Morgan's most hated words: 'rock opera' Justin Hayward's sci-fi pedigree How Tom had a mandatory dance class at school. Just him?

    ACTION! WAIT! ACTION! In this episode, Morgan takes a shot at looking back at the history of the classic Time Crisis video game series. It is an action series that has produced 11 games since first taking arcades by storm in 1995, some 27 years ago. In a rather drunken episode, we discuss: Morgan's recent stag do and his downright diva behaviour The fun and mystique of arcades - or 'arcade centres' as Tom calls them The light gun myth - did they actually work? Wild Dog's many deaths Time Crisis' insistence of using randomly generic names for its heroes Croad Macgalain - the most underrated action star ever?

    People power has spoken! After literally hundreds a few tweets for #DoTheLakeHouse, Morgan has finally given in and is allowing Tom to do a whole episode on one of his favourite films of all time: The Lake House. After an hour of drunkenly banging on about the 2006 romcom starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the boys soon discover that it's far geekier than they ever thought. But will Morgan agree with Tom that it's one of the greatest movies ever made? Stranger things have happened. In the episode, we discuss: Morgan's brain melting as Tom tries to make sense of The Lake House's time-travel rules Is Morgan a sexy name? The sad decline of DVD bonus features Tom's weird annual ritual of watching a flop film from 2006 every autumn Magical dogs What can you get away with putting in the magical mailbox?

We also answer some of your questions, sent to us via email and socials. In this special look-back, we discuss our favourite episodes, the one episode Tom is desperate to do but Morgan keeps vetoing, the ‘lost' episode you'll never hear because Tom didn't record it properly, and the origins of the show back in 2015. We also ponder what we might have done differently if we started today, what we're tempting to change the name of the show to, and our plans for 2022 and beyond. Thanks so much to everyone of you who have ever listened to the show over the past 100 episodes and 6+ years. We love making the show and love hearing from you, it always means a heck of a lot!
