    Ep69... feature the best weapon

    This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt lock, load, swing, zap, slice, and blast their way through their Top 5 Films That Feature the Best Weapon — an episode packed with more cinematic firepower than an action hero’s glove compartment. The brothers dive into the iconic arsenal of movie history: the legendary gadgets, the unforgettable blades, the over‑the‑top blasters, and the weapons so wildly impractical they loop back around to being brilliant. Dom brings the precision of a well‑aimed movie arsenal, Jeremy fires off bold opinions like he’s dual‑wielding confidence, and Matt swings into the conversation with the enthusiasm of someone who definitely shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharp. Expect pun‑heavy chaos as they hammer home their favourites, shoot down each other’s picks, cut through the nonsense, and occasionally explode into laughter over weapons that probably shouldn’t exist outside a prop cupboard. From blockbuster classics to crowd‑pleasing favourites, it’s a playful, comedic deep‑dive into the tools that make movie moments unforgettable. A fun, energetic, weapon‑wielding episode that proves sometimes the star of the film isn’t the hero — it’s whatever they’re holding.

    T5FT Extra 68 - The Quiz Lebowski

    The rug may not tie the room together this time, but Matthew certainly ties the episode together as he steps into his brand‑new role as quizmaster for The Quiz Lebowski. With a fresh era of quizzing underway, Dom and Jeremy stride into the trivia lanes like two Dudes hoping the pins fall kindly — though whether they roll strikes or gutter balls is anyone’s guess. Matthew brings his own brand of calm, collected authority to the host’s chair, channelling just enough Big Lebowski energy to keep things loose while still keeping the rules sacred (unlike certain league bowlers). Dom arrives ready to prove he’s not out of his element, while Jeremy embraces the chaos of a clean slate, hoping this new phase won’t leave him sprawled on the metaphorical rug wondering what just happened. Expect film‑loving fun, playful jabs, and a quiz that abides — even if the contestants don’t always. A witty, warm, and wonderfully offbeat episode that invites movie fans to settle in, sip something soothing, and enjoy the ride.

    Ep68...are the best origin story

    This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt roll back the clock and dive into their Top 5 Films That Have the Best Origin Story — an episode all about beginnings, first sparks, and the cinematic moments where legends, heroes, and occasionally complete disasters are born. They explore the films that nailed the art of the origin: the iconic first chapters, the unforgettable “this is how it all started” beats, and the popular favourites that turned simple backstories into full‑blown movie magic. Dom digs into how these stories are built, Jeremy champions the big crowd‑pleasers, and Matt brings the energy of someone ready to leap into his own heroic montage. It’s an episode packed with first steps, fateful choices, and the kind of storytelling that reminds you every great journey starts somewhere — even if that “somewhere” is a lab accident, a destiny‑changing discovery, or a very dramatic haircut. A fun, upbeat, origin‑style celebration of the films that prove beginnings can be just as thrilling as the endings.

    T5FT Extra 67 - Raiders of the Lost Quiz

    Dom dusts off his metaphorical fedora and cracks the whip as he returns to the host’s seat for Raiders of the Lost Quiz, an adventure‑fuelled instalment of the biweekly trivia showdown. With questions as perilous as ancient booby traps and twists lurking around every corner, he leads Matt and Jeremy into a treasure hunt of film knowledge where only one can escape with glory. Matthew strides in like a seasoned explorer, just one win away from securing the ultimate prize — the overall series victory. Jeremy, meanwhile, clings to his single triumph like a precious artefact, desperately hoping this won’t be another expedition where he ends up outrunning metaphorical boulders and bad guesses. Dom keeps the pace pulpy and playful, guiding the brothers through rounds that feel equal parts daring escape, frantic puzzle‑solving, and sibling chaos. Expect bold swings, narrow escapes, and the kind of film‑loving fun that belongs in a museum — or at least in your podcast queue. A witty, energetic, adventure‑soaked episode where the hunt for quiz glory is very much alive.

    Ep67...have a memorable birthday scene

    This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt are blowing up balloons, lighting the candles, and slicing into their Top 5 Films That Have a Memorable Birthday Scene. It’s a full‑on cinematic celebration as the brothers unwrap the moments where birthdays become iconic — whether they’re joyful, disastrous, chaotic, or unexpectedly heartfelt. They dive into popular films where the birthday beats stick with you: the parties that go off the rails, the surprises that don’t stay surprising, and the scenes that turn a simple cake‑and‑candles moment into pure movie magic. Dom brings the party‑planning precision, Jeremy arrives ready for presents (preferably film‑related), and Matt keeps the energy high like someone who’s already had too much cake. A playful, upbeat, and party‑themed episode that proves birthdays in films aren’t just milestones — they’re unforgettable moments worth celebrating.

    T5FT Extra 66 - How to Lose a Quiz in 10 Days

    Dom returns as quizmaster extraordinaire for How to Lose a Quiz in 10 Days, an episode where the drama, the tension, and the questionable tactics feel straight out of a chaotic rom‑com — just with more film trivia and fewer yellow dresses. Matthew strolls in like the effortlessly charming frontrunner, stacking up wins with the kind of confidence that would make even a certain smooth‑talking advertising exec proud. Jeremy, meanwhile, is clinging to his single victory like it’s a love fern, desperately trying not to sabotage himself with another round of wild guesses and last‑minute panic. Dom presides over the madness with a grin, guiding the brothers through rounds that twist, turn, and occasionally implode in spectacular fashion. There’s strategy, there’s sabotage, there’s sibling rivalry… and somewhere in the middle of it all, there’s a quiz that absolutely refuses to be lost quietly. A fun, witty, film‑loving showdown that proves you can lose a quiz in many ways — but winning it? That’s a whole different story.

    Ep66... are the most confusing

    This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt attempt to navigate the cinematic maze that is their Top 5 Films That Are the Most Confusing — although whether the episode itself ends up making sense is… well, open to interpretation. Much like the films they’re discussing, things start clearly enough before slowly twisting into something that feels strangely logical and completely baffling at the same time. The brothers dive into those wonderfully mind‑melting movies — the ones where you think you’ve cracked the plot, only to realise you’re three layers deep in a dream, or possibly watching a flashback inside a flash‑forward that might actually be a metaphor. Dom tries to keep the conversation grounded, Jeremy insists he definitely understood that one scene (even if no one else did), and Matt confidently explains a plot point that may or may not exist. By the end, you’ll feel entertained, intrigued, and only mildly unsure about what just happened — exactly the spirit of a great confusing film. A fun, twisty, delightfully perplexing episode celebrating the movies that leave you thinking long after the credits roll… or before they start, depending on how you interpret time.

    T5FT Extra 65 - Crazy, Stupid, Quiz

    Dom steps back into the host’s chair for another biweekly trivia spectacular in Crazy, Stupid, Quiz, bringing all the chaotic charm and twisty energy the title promises. With a stack of film‑themed questions ready to cause emotional whiplash, he puts Matt and Jeremy through a rollercoaster of confidence, panic, and “wait… I did know that!” moments. Matt arrives cool and collected, hoping to keep his winning streak as smooth as a Ryan Gosling pick‑up line, while Jeremy is determined to avoid any crazy mistakes or stupid slip‑ups that might send him spiralling back down the leaderboard. Dom, meanwhile, plays the perfect puppet‑master — part matchmaker, part agent of chaos — guiding the brothers through rounds that are as unpredictable as a rom‑com twist. Expect sharp laughs, bold guesses, and a film‑loving atmosphere that keeps the fun dialled all the way up. A witty, energetic, and irresistibly entertaining episode that proves quizzes, like love, can get wonderfully messy.
