CONTENT WARNING : This show contains a ton of swearing, because South Park. We are finally here, on the last year of our journey through the 90s and this year was another corker for films, so it was a tough choice for the lads but they came up trumps with their final picks. With the South Park film, The Sixth Sense and The World is not Enough (wonder who picked that one 🤔) we set our last movie p...

We had it planned....well Jason did, not realising that Chris would be at the Isle of Wight festival and then also not realising that Rich was off on a work trip which left Jason's plans in tatters.

No Rich this week meant Jason had to find a suitable replacement and came up trumps when The AMAZING Cliff from the N64life podcast agreed to take his place. He was maybe not so thrilled when he learnt the film we were covering though. That film is Batman and Robin!

Independence Day was and still is in some cases the blockbuster film and we jump in to discuss many aspects of the film from praising the best parts to questioning some of the decisions that were made and why some of it just wouldn't work in real life. And...

Not gonna lie, this one nearly didn't happen.
