This episode's film, One Cut Of The Dead, is brought to you by Eddie. A film like no other it begins as a typical B-movie horror flick, before turning into something entirely different.

Hold on to your shopping carts, this could be a rough ride. We try and entangle the absolute fever dream of a movie, Foodfight. This surely must've been a money laundering scheme.

Jim introduces us to a Richard Curtis fan favourite, About Time. It's fair to say that not all of us share in Jim's enjoyment of this sentimental and sickly sweet film.

We enjoy some Opera with this 18th century romp of a film, following the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A film Jim has some issues with, to put it lightly.

Hamish brings to us one of the best martial-arts films of recent years this week with The Raid 2. Super stylized and hyper violent, this film can get pretty bat-sh*t at times.

Be afraid, be very afraid as we dive for the first time into the world of David Cronenberg. Eddie's pick for this week is The Fly, a horror that delivers on all the gore and Jeff Goldblum that one could possible want. Watch The Fly.

Jim gives us our first "chick-flick" as we all watch Legally Blonde, a film not without issues. In fact we struggle to wade through those issues to find something good about this film (hint: there's not much).

We kick off season 2 with an absolute stinker from Garin as we chat about the 1994 version of The Fantastic Four. A film that you've never heard of, and was never supposed to be seen. It had a terrible time during and post production, and we had a terrible time watching it, but it does feel good to be podcasting once more. Watch The Fantastic Four here.

We go continental with Hamish's request to watch La Haine, a gritty exploration of under privileged young men in France. With many references to the treatment of minorities and police brutality this film is as relevant as ever.

So, got to be honest, we didn't have a lot to say about this film. It's okay. We did seem to have a fair bit to say about Disney porn and animal genitalia though, so stick around and give it a listen if that's your bag.

Jim brings us The Ringer, starring Johnny Knoxville as a man trying to fix the Special Olympics.

Garin introduces us to the world of Terry Gilliam and his 1985 dystopian classic, Brazil. Colourful, dramatic and truly mad, this film may be an acquired taste for some as it seems to push almost every part of story telling to the max.

We endured watching Son Of The Mask this week so you don't have to. A total car crash of a film which left as all confused and slightly nauseous. Watch Son Of The Mask?

Eddie is pretty shocked after what he thought would be a divisive film turns out to be one of our favourites. We talk all about the gruesome goings on in the phycological horror Midsommar. Also, beware of a few brief political opinions of some of the people in this podcast (it doesn't last long).

We have a look/chat about Silver Linings Playbook, the film that won Jennifer Lawrence her Oscar for best actress.

This is one for all our Welsh fans, The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain may seem like a mouthful but a lot of Welsh is. It is of course chosen by Garin Harry, a story close to his heart and close to him geographically.

We've got our first cheeky bonus episode as we gather and have a quick rank together, starting off by discussing the most surprising comedic film performance by someone not usually known for comedy. A few names are thrown around including Tommy Wiseau and even Jar Jar Binks, but neither were quite as funny as who we decided to be the most unexpected joker.

Jim has chosen I See You as the point of discussion this episode, a horror/thriller full of unexpected twists.

This episode's film is the neo-western and Oscar nominated Hell Or High Water, a depiction of two brothers forced to break the law in an indebted America.

Poker lover Jim chose the film for this week and it was no surprise he went for Molly's Game, a film that finally gives us plenty to talk about.
