    The Labyrinth (1986) Problem

    We're back, happy 2024! Jimmy and Jen ring in the New Year with a discussion on a childhood fave of the former. Is it a whimsical fantasy fairy tale or the story of a teenage girl's descent into madness? Topics include David Bowie, misremembering lyrics, the baby actor's wellbeing and the age old discussion of digital media vs physical. Join in in two weeks for Jen's birthday pick. Contains strong language.

    The A Christmas Story (1983) Problem

    It's our final episode of the year and the second festive episode of the month. Jimmy and Jen discuss this beloved classic like two people who aren't fans of the movie. Because, well, you know, they're not... Sorry. Topics include corporal punishment in schools, the different ways to discuss movies and good ol' racism. Jen's audio starts off not great but improves very, very quickly. Contains strong language.

    The Brainscan (1994) Problem

    It's our shortest ever episode and Jimmy had to put audio of the original trailer at the end to get it over the 30 minute mark, yay! October ends with this semi-forgotten horror that maybe should be all the way forgotten? Possibly. Jimmy and Jen discuss acting, confusing endings, the movie's score and next week's episode is determined by the wheel!  Contains very strong language. Recorded on Sunday 29th October 2023.

Contains very strong language and adult themes. Jimmy has a new microphone, so you will hear the bumping of a table and the moving of a chair from his side. He'll adjust it for next time.
