"There's nothing you can get from a book that you can't get from a television faster.”~ Mr. Wormwood. There's a little magic in all of us COPPERS and this episode is proof of that. Come with us as we dive headfirst into the film adaptation of one of Roald Dahl's best works, Matilda. Take a trip down memory lane as we discuss a true blue Aussie classic that every Australian refused to miss in Hey Hey It's Saturday and travel back in time and revisit our ancestors as we participate in the secret war between the Templars and the Assassins in Assassins Creed. So grab some chocolate cake, gather the family, and strap on your hidden blade because...."Nothing is true; everything is permitted" C.O.P.P THAT!

“Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me you built a time machine...out of a DeLorean?” ~ Marty McFly. Great Scott COPPERS this episode is all about one of the greatest trilogies of all time, Back to the Future. We give you the run-down on the timeline, our memories/parts we enjoyed and find a few plot holes along the way. So strap yourself in, power up the flux capacitor and get this thing up to 88mph because "Where we’re going, we don’t need roads." C.O.P.P THAT

"Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse." ~ Frank Abagnale Sr. What's up COPPERS in this episode we take a trip to Mars and join the revolution in Red Faction, go on the run with one of the greatest con men of all time in Catch Me If You Can and finally it's back to school to relive the awkward and at times embarrassing scenarios teenagers find themselves in as we discuss The Inbetweeners. So grab a hammer, put on your best suit/uniform and grab some friends (FWENDS) because this one is going to be banging C.O.P.P THAT.

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy. Because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that.” ~ Dr. Sean Maguire. That's right COPPERS this episode is all about Robin Williams and what a great man he was, not only as an entertainer but also as a human being. Whether it was as an alien, a radio DJ, a boy that never wanted to grow up, a shrink, a genie, a nanny, or a crazy bat we know he touched the lives of anyone who caught even a glimpse of this dynamic comedy giant. We hope you enjoy this one. Rest easy Robin there will never be another like you.

"Goooooooood morning Vietnam!" ~Adrian Cronauer. Rise and shine COPPERS in this episode we get out the tank tops and shades as we discuss the Duke Nukem franchise and its successes and failures, we make a deal with the devil taking a look at Lucifer and its fresh take on good and evil and finally we're heading to the Vietnam war zone as we revisit a classic wartime comedy that still has a lot of heart in Good Morning Vietnam. So figure out what it is you really desire, cue the music and get ready to kick some arse because we're all outta gum C.O.P.P THAT!
