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
