Big Boys Don't Cry

This week’s episode escalated incredibly quickly, as we find Paddy defending catfishing, and Rob having a good old fashioned rant about the Netflix original film Sierra Burgess is a Loser. We also discuss Trump’s mushroom, Gerard Depardieu, and Apple’s stupid new phones, and come up with yet another epic new film idea: Cyrano de Bandcamp.

Stop all the clocks! It’s time to take a trip back to 1994, when the Super Nintendo was the best console, and Richard Curtis smashed the box office with Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Things can only get better this week, as we follow the lowest rated film in podcast history with a much better film: 21 Jump Street!

Still hanging over from the Royal Wedding, this week it’s all about fakery as we discuss the underrated Ryan Gosling film Lars and the Real Girl.
