After a short summer hiatus (weddings! sunny days! boring work stuff!), we're back and excited to share the commentary of our second The Lord Of The Rings live-watch: The Two Towers. Now you may think The Lord Of The Rings is an odd one to revisit over the summer but trust us...it's a GREAT franchise to bounce back to.

Lots of goodies in this conversation (mostly Simon's first-time-viewing reactions) so we guarantee you're going to enjoy it. Please make sure you join us for the last and more epic viewing yet because THE RETURN OF THE KING is coming!!!

Hi hi hi. With The Rings of Power Season 2 back soon (yikes) AND the upcoming The Lord of the Rings prequels, we realized we could not prolong the wait any longer. We had to sit Simon down to finally watch LOTR with us. And the results may surprise you...;)

This episode is extra special to us because Ben, Simon and I watched the film together right before we recorded this. Which is also why I sound a tad tired and said Dark Towers vs Two Towers, please forgive me 😭

Expect Part II and Part III in the following weeks. We, for one, can't wait.

You'll want to stay until the END for this episode...trust me. We're back with another catch up episode (as we have soooo much catch up to do) but fear not, the next ep is going to be a massive final scene treat. In any case, this discussion was really fun:

• A listener did not enjoy Ripley so we're diving right into it
• Ben has now also watched Baby Reindeer and gives his reactions
• Sophie is obsessed with Challengers and struggles to not give any spoilers
• Simon watched A Beautiful Boy and gave his reaction
• Tom Hanks and his Da Vinci trilogy has a cameo somewhere in the ep
• Another listener asked us if Timothée Chamalet should stop acting and we have thoughts
• We tackle a more serious listener question: Is the era of superheroes over? This is a JUICY one
• ANDDDD we announce the final scene of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING - we finally convinced Simon!!

Heyllo! After an extended break (and still suffering through third winter here in the UK), the gang is back with some movie and TV talk. We hope you missed us 🥹

Let's jump right in:

• Holidays! Trips! Work! The team's been busEY but we did our best to come back in full force
• Why is the new Roadhouse so...bad? Simon answers.
• Baby Reindeer is the best show Sophie has seen this year
• Ben is sort of obsessed with Fallout...which is frankly great news
• DUNE 2 breakdown including that final scene (and what comes next)

This is the most timely podcast episode you'll hear this week - it's OSCARS 2024 PREDICTIONS time! And just because us 3 are supremely unqualified to make any educated guesses, we HAD to invite actor Simon Haines back (@thesimonhaines on Instagram) to help us with the task.

So let's do this, sip on a cup of tea (or whiskey, we ain't judging) and listen up:

• Quick (re)-intro to Simon and what we've been watching (yes, Ben's hate-watching continues)
• Sophie brings some audio clips from movie scenes...and Simon needs to guess who it is...and judge the ACCENT
• A breakdown of our Oscar predictions (and hopefuls) for the major categories
