The 30th episode of Hey, an Actor! sees The Brothers Wilson pay tribute to the celebrated Cockney actor Sir Michael Caine. Whilst The Ipcress File is a seminal non-Bond espionage movie of the 1960s and Harry Brown makes full use of Caine's military persona as an OAP vigilante, it's The Muppet Christmas Carol in which the hosts really gush their critical juices. But are they too lenient on this Eng...

Racism runs wild when Kirk and crew discover an alien world suffering from a version of The Cold War ("The Omega Glory").

This week it's an assortment of deranged insanity as Desmond and Darryll review the sequel to a film that may or may not even exist: The Executioner, Part II.
