So money, baby! Welcome back down to the bar for Episode 42 of the ultimate movie review podcast. This week, Kev continues counting down his 100 favourite films of all time when we invite back our resident Doug Liman expert Carla, not something we ever thought we'd have an expert on at the start of the pod. Join Kev, Andy, and Carla as they crack open drinks and dissect everything 90s. This week...

The Jewel of the Nile (1985) — Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner & The Romancing the Stone Sequel | #61 on Kev's 100 This week at the bar we introduce Kate, our new Michael Douglas expert, who instantly starts a Twitter war with him before she's even sat down and ordered a flimsy drink. We pit Michael Douglas against Tom Cruise in a game neither one wants to win. We marvel at how much the viewing...
S02 E39 - #62 Bullet Train
Welcome back down to Cocktails and Shattered Dreams! This week, we board the 2022 action film, Bullet Train. Andy actually watched this high-speed thriller while stuck on a stationary Southeastern train waiting for a driver, which really maximised the immersion. We dive into Brad Pitt embracing fun roles as a begrudging assassin with terrible luck, and debate if the film suffers from an identity...
S02 Ep38 - #63 Mission Impossible: Fallout
Ethan Hunt is back, and thankfully, so is the running. In episode 38, we tackle Mission: Impossible – Fallout , a film featuring rooftop sprints, helicopters bumper cars, bathroom-based violence and enough exposition to make even the most patient IMF agent whisper: “Guys, you’re overthinking this” Is Tom Cruise playing Ethan Hunt, or is Ethan Hunt playing Tom Cruise? Has Andy secretly completed a...
S02 Ep37 - #64 Hudson Hawk
Welcome back down to the bar! In this episode, Kev and Andy tackle #64 Hudson Hawk , the gloriously unhinged cult film that somehow crams cat burglars, cappuccinos, singing heists, dolphin talk, and a world domination plot into one deeply weird package. We dig into Bruce Willis's bonkers passion project, the Die Hard meets Looney Tunes chaos, the suspiciously overcomplicated story, and whether...
S02 E36 - #65 Beverly Hills Cop
This week Andy & Kev are in their elements, talking about a film from the 80s that they've only ever watched on TV! They are shocked at the language in the actual film and also have 2 scenes they've never seen before, or at least 1 of which Kev just couldn't remember! They talk about growing up with the actor Eddie Murphy before realising he's done the odd bit of comedy too and how young he is in...

This week we're holed up in the bar, drinking the strongest drink known to humans and trying to follow the rules. Andy and Kev discuss their past experiences with zombies, what their plan will be when they take over and discuss how quickly Rob would kill Zombie Andy. We discuss if Dalton from Roadhouse would have survived, how much the Fifth Element rule applies to this film and come up with a...
S02 E34 - #67 The Great Mouse Detective
Andy and Kev head back onto the balcony bar today as we welcome Poppy back to the pod, always a ratings draw! We discuss what Disney means to all of us across generations and pray that this is a better film than the last cartoon we had to watch! We talk about 1980s Disney, how many songs you need to have in a movie for it to be a musical and how a bat and a cat can work for a rat but as long as...
S02 E33 - #68 Double Impact
This week we double the fun, double the main actors and double the impact! We discuss if JCVD actually fights anyone or is it 1 kick win or lose! Just how much slow motion is too much and how do you half an egg white? Top Trumps gets very controversial with Romance and Action scores all over the place and there's rumours a plenty including who replied to letters from an unknown Jean Claude and a...
S02 E32 - #69 Ex Machina
This week on the pod Andy and Kev make sure they're talking about the same film because they have wildly different ways to pronounce it. The discussion gets even stranger when it seems like we've reverted to season 1 and Andy is talking about a film he likes and Kev hates! They make the claim that this film is better if you don't watch it to the end and Kev struggles to remember how many people...
S02 E31 - #70 Se7en
We abruptly end Kev's romance phase but he still has last week's film on his mind and thinks this week is quite similar! Freddie comes down to the bar so we can teach him about late 20th Century films, especially why rain was so important in them all. Kev talks about one of his all time favourite films whilst realising it's not on his list for 100 all time favourite films and we try and work out...

S02 E30 - #71 So I married an axe murderer
Kev's romance phase continues as we travel around the 90s down at the bar. Is this film more of a representation of Kev and Andy in the 90s than last week's, the school photos would certainly say so! We say HELLO to 90s fashion, comedy and the feeling that we've seen this all before as we tackle number 71 on Kev's list, 1995s So I Married an Axe Murderer. IMDb -...
S02 E29 - #72 The Crow
Our horror movie expert, Natalie, joins us at the bar this week as we discuss a film she instantly denies is a horror film! Matters then descend further when Kev and Natalie get into a kung-fu fight over which Bruce Lee films are the best. Once again, someone is recommending drinking Absinthe to make it through one of Kev's films and that's all before we try and piece together what actually...
S02 E28 - #73 The Abyss
This week Rob joins us at the bar for his drink of choice...a tepid glass of water. Before we've even begun talking about the film Kev says we shouldn't have watched it and we spend some time thinking how little we hear about nuclear submarines these days. We discuss the great the special effects that turn out to not actually be special effects and the poor special effects that actually were....
S02 E27 - #74 Clue
This week on the pod we're out on the balcony as our under age guest joins us again at the bar! Suffering from a sugar crash, she learns what rehab and Hare Krishna is (only in the context of Airplane!), whilst we wonder if Tim Curry has had the career he deserves or not? It's not often you get to discuss which ending is your favourite but this week we can as we discuss, at #74 on Kev's list of...
S02 E26 - #75 Gravity
This week down at the bar Andy & Kev both watch the film for only the second time. We discuss bad ways to die in space (spinning forever is quite high), how the film can compare to Andy's first watch in IMAX 3D and how it's always nice to see George and always nice to see him leave. If last season Andy wondered if he was in Fight Club and Kev was imaginary, this season Kev feels like he's in The...

This week Carla comes down to the bar to discuss a very particular set of skills with Andy and Kev but are they enough to help Kev deal with what he can only call a revenge attack by Andy in the Top Trumps scoring?! We discuss how much Carla feels she's in the movie when she reminisces about going to the same U2 tour, how Andy finding out it was written by Luc Besson explains a lot and what other...
S02 E24 - #77 Die Hard
Welcome back down to the bar! Special guest Jim joins us to defend Die Hard as the ultimate "heartwarming" Christmas film. Over Lager Shandies and candy glass cocktails, we debate Bruce Willis’s everyman status, useless FBI agents, and read a "bonkers" alternate-reality review where Hugh Grant plays the villain. Did John McClane survive Kev's leaderboard re-order? Take off your shoes, ball up...
S02 E23 - #78 Major League
Dust off your VHS player and grab a Screwball , thisweek we’re at #78 with the 1989 comedy Major League . Trish joins the bar with a "fresh" perspective, mostly because she mistook it for A League of Their Own, and missed the key intro dialogue that sets up the premise of the movie 😁 We debate the questionable voodoo gags and Tom Berenger’s creepy stalking of Rene Russo, while wondering why...
S02 E22 - #79 Kill Bill
Grab a stool and pour yourself a chilled Sake—this week,we’re crossing names off the list at #79 with Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 .

Kev finds a new appreciation for the film while realising he’s forgotten every genius twist,leading us into a debate on whether this...
S02 E21 - #80 Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade
This week, we’re at #80 with Indiana Jones and theLast Crusade . Over a round of Sidecars, we tackle the "holytrinity" of Indy, relive Andy’s childhood nightmares, and breakdown the Connery/Ford dynamic. We’re also lamenting the loss of the 80s adventure flick to the "Rock" era and trying to find the Grail among Kev's Top 100. Choose wisely IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097576/...

After another seamless intro, we delve into this John Hughes high schoolers film, set when they are adults…but have they really grown up? We question if the 90min mark is about 30mins too short, Andy continues to try and undertsand the plot of Kev's films, we have an epic...

This week Andy can’t remember where he is, Kev thinks he’s just waking up from a long sleep and we wonder how bad things were in 1993, that in just 3 years there’s a total break down of law and order. Andy compares what Batman movie all the main characters think they’re in, spoilers they’re all different ones. Kev asks who’s side Andy would be on in the franchise wars (there’s only one right...
S02 E18 - #83 Zootopia
Join us at Cocktails and Shattered Dreams this week for #83 Zootopia. Poppy the fact-checker returns, who is glad this isn't the sequel to All Dogs go to Heaven. While she might be a fact-checker she has her dad's skills at scoring, with a 99 score for action 😂 If all that wasn't enough, we work out that the film is too sweet for Andy, kids are cruel regardless of human or animal, and prep for...
S02 E17 - #84 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Welcome back to the bar, where Carla escapes the video shopto make her bar debut—after accidentally watching this week’s film in both English and German. We’re at #84 on the list with 2011's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows . We pour some straight gin (or embalming fluid) and debate if the RDJ and Jude Law bromance was a little overcooked this time around. We dive into the completely...
S02 E16 - #85 All Dogs Go To Heaven
Welcome back to Cocktails & Shattered Dreams , nowfeaturing a marble “Pizza Express” aesthetic—Poppy’s ideal bar vibe 😁 This week we’re hitting #85 on the list with Kev’s first-ever (remembered) cinema experience, though re-watching it now is possibly not the same. We dive into a debate on Gen X, Y, Z, and Alpha while Andyreminisces about the glory days of the milkman delivering cream soda. We...
S02 E15 - #86 The Insider
Welcome back to Cocktails & Shattered Dreams for #86 on Kev’s list, The Insider. It’s a high-stakes look at corporate ethics and the 90s era of journalism. We’re going deep on Al Pacino staying just below "ranting caricature”, and Russell Crowe delivers an epic performance. We end up with a "dead heat" rewatch score, and the mashup blends Big Tobacco with a WWI propaganda football match. IMDB:...
S02 E14 - #87 The Running Man
This week on the pod we discuss the difference between a Channel 4 and an ITV childhood when there’s only 4 channels. We discuss how long a 1 liner can be and still be a 1 liner, as well as the difference between 80s and 2000s action. We get into the details of how a helicopter works, how Andy's scoring works and which is more complicated. How do you compare an action movie with a semi...

This week at Cocktails and Shattered Dreams, Kev, Andy &MCU guru Freddie shrink down #88 on Kev's Top 100: 2018's "Ant-Man and the Wasp" – his "least fave fave" Marvel (baffling the expert 😂). Kev digs Rudd's everyman charm, quantum gimmicks, and comedy beats; Andy brands it "fine" (his fave MCU slur 😁), with too much exposition, ghost villain flop, and post-Rudd fatigue. They roast villain...
S02 E12 - #89 The Burbs
This week at Cocktails and Shattered Dreams, we tackle #89on Kev's Top 100: 1989's Tom Hanks suburban nightmare "The 'Burbs". Kev's nostalgic for its zany Gremlins vibes and stacked cast (Hanks! Fisher! Feldman!); Andy calls it bizarrely all-over-the-shop, with zero chemistry, weak plot, and Hanks edging into Saviour mode too soon. Alongside guest Dani, we debate satanic panic, Carrie Fisher's...

This week at Cocktails and Shattered Dreams, Kev and Andy tackle #90 on Kev's Top 100: 2024's Pharrell Williams "Piece by Piece" – their first ever documentary showdown, and naturally it's the one made entirelyof Lego 🥳. Kev's mesmerised by the tiny plastic beats,swirling colours, and to quote an epic film, I don’t think he can “handle the truth" about the last part of the film; Andy's debates...

This week Arnie heads to Mars in Total Recall, but the real question is: did he actually go there, or is this whole podcast a dream? 🤔 Andy's back with his hilariously high standards and controversial scoring system. This week, guest Rob joins us at the bar to discuss whether Ben Affleck should be the next Terminator, why the remake makes the original look like a masterpiece, and—most...
S02 E09 - #92 Drive
This week at the bar, Andy and Kev take on Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s neon-drenched crime thriller and possibly the quietest film to ever cause this much disagreement. With Ryan Gosling barely saying a word, Andy questions Kev’s long-standing obsession with strong, silent types — accidental pattern or window into his soul? Is Drive home to the greatest lift scene ever filmed, rivaling The...
S02 E08 - #93 Road House
This week Andy and Kev dive into the cult 80s action classic Road House (1989) starring Patrick Swayze, exploring bouncers, bar fights, mullets, monster trucks and small-town villains in one of the strangest movies of the decade. We ask whether Swayze is the zen martial-arts philosopher of his generation, why every 80s bad guy owns a helicopter, and whether Tai Chi is an acceptable form of...
S02 E07 - #94 The Mask
This week we review Jim Carrey's The Mask —a chaotic '90s masterpiece with a dog in a suit, swing music, and Cameron Diaz's film debut. Andy's scoring is all over the shop (we're talking D- territory. He's giving serious Roger Ebert energy 😁). The dice stage a fightback, and we somehow detour into Avengers territory for some reason. Fair warning: Andy's scoring has never been more confused. 🎲...
S02 E06 - #95 Escape From New York
This week at the bar we talk about how hard it is to get a good snake tattoo (especially in the 80s) and how much action do you need in a film for it to be considered an action film? We discuss how 80s films don’t really bother explaining plot, even when a POTUS has an inexplicable English accent. We agree best not to have any question on this one as, at #95 we watch Escape from New York. IMDB:...
S02 E05 - #96 Jurassic Park
On today's episode our Resident Palaeologist join us (Andrew). We cover Scottish accents, 6and7. straight to DVD, non-helicopter parenting/straight in the wild (literally).

Well...with a new rule for the podcast 🥳 This week we cover off exploding heads, stuffed animals in toilets, Danish Royalty, bum-gate 🙈 and the "Eggsy Rule". We wonder if directors are in a world of their own, we try to work out if this is a comic book film, or if Mr Darcy really is that...
S02 E03 - #98 Haunted Honeymoon
You know a movie is good when everyone agrees you need to be under the influence of drugs to really enjoy it! This week at the bar we discuss what life is like on the 5th level of inception, the hierarchy of professional killers and what dressing up as a werewolf says about your credentials. Andy wants to know where the other 30 minutes of the film is and Kev admits he did watch another 30...
S02 E02 - #99 Kingpin
We’re on to the 2nd movie at the bar and Kev’s already forgotten that it’s his list we’re doing and attacks the film as much as any of Andy’s list! Do we have another ‘Visitor’ on our hands or in the end will he remember why he likes it? Is this a bowling movie, has Andy watched Bowfinger instead because the spelling is similar and why do so many things happen that never get referenced again??...
S02 E01 - #100 The Usual Suspects
At the bar it’s time for Old Fashioned versus Depth Charge 🥃🥛as we debate whether The Usual Suspects is a twisty classic or we just come full circle after 106 mins 😂 If Keyser Söze is actually clever, why does so much of it play like a CBeebies bedtime story 😁 and why is a customs cop running the show? Andy drops a bomb in minute one; we spar over rewatchability, noir vibes, and the immortal...

Kev walks us through his highlights from the list and Andy talks through some films he's seens since starting the pod that might feature in the renewed list in 10 years time (just like Sight and Sound!) The top 25 has been re-ordered with some films falling, or is it still climbing to different places. Finally...
S01 E100 - Roll of the Dice #6 (Yi Yi)
Well we all made it to episode 100, as Andy talks us through the much anticipated? Long awaited? Or maybe just long, YiYi. Natalie joins Andy and Kev at the shop for this one because that's the way the dice falls! Andy is rechristened 'No Spoilers Butt' by his wife and even still can't help but give away some clues on the film. Will everyone still be in the shop once the film is finished? Will...
S01 E99 - Roll of the Dice #5 (Spirited Away)
This week Poppy joins us in the shop, and re-orders the entireplace into a system only she understands. She unveils her secret system for correct bath temperatures, and gives us an uncanny Andy impression that's so accurate it's grim (in both senses of the word). Andy, meanwhile, continues to pander to the robots, at Kev’sexpense and then he concocts a brand new drink (I wonder if that could be...
S01 E98 - Roll of the Dice #4 (Almost Famous)
There’s a real 70s vibe around the shop this week, as Rob sheepishly brings back Saturday night fever and we roll the dice for this week’s film. We discuss if groupies are still a thing, or have ticket prices stopped them. What do Rob and Kev have in common with Oscar voters and does Andy just watch movies during house parties? Is Andy watching this in 2001 actually the start of the pod, or...
S01 E96 - Roll of the Dice #2 (Grosse Pointe Blank)
We continue with the roll the dice to see what film we're going to see before we go back and put them in order, and finally...96 movies in, we get a good one 😁 But is it really just a "cliché". We discover the actor version of Andy, shockingly we cover off another high school movie (we might need to give Freud a call). We get into some hot water with fake news 😬 And we have a huge exposure of...
S01 E95 - Roll of the Dice #1 (Tick, Tick... Boom!)
We crack the top 6 films this week where Freddie joins us as we try something a little different and roll the dice to see what film we're going to see before we go back and put them in order. As the roll is kind (?) to Freddie we discuss Andy's favourite actor that he's only seen in 1 this film, Kev's recent musical theatre background and remember Freddie's great singing from a previous episode....

S01 E94 - #7 Brick
We’re up (down) to the last few films and the last noir (maybe) on the list. When Andy mentions the budget, Kev drops what could be the quote of season 1, saying he’s ‘Intrigued and slightly apprehensive’. We discuss if Clue is a noir like Big Sleep, will this film be like Clue and will we ever find out or all have died before we do!? We ask the big question for any teenager, 'where do you eat...
S01 E93 - #8 Interstellar
This week we complete science by watching what Andy confidently calls the most impressive film of the 21st Century. Carla (or is it Michael Caine) joins us again to ask just how many science people they need to make this film (the answer is 3) and Kev talks about how little he likes space stuff, without getting too technical! Whilst talking about the cameo, Kev reveals he definitely doesn’t...
S01 E92 - #9 The Royal Tenenbaums
This week we answer the question that has come up most in the shop over the last 94 weeks, where’s the Wes Anderson film on the list? Andy feels an Andy film and a Wes film is comparable (bold), we preview where The Garfield film will fit into the seasons and discuss if this is a top 3 performance by every actor in it. At number 9 on the list it’s The Royal Tenenbaums. Quote: "Anybody interested...
S01 E91 - #10 Ferris Bueller's Day Off
This week we ask the big questions the world is facing, like do teenagers still put posters up on their walls? We witness a great economics lecture from 1986 talking about how tarrifs don’t work but it is a bit boring so no one pays any attention to it. We discuss what happened to Matthew Broderick’s career trajectory without doing simple research on him that would have explained a lot and wonder...

This week in the shop, we go digging through the dust — all the way back to 1946. The war was over, the drinks were stiff, and the men had faces like crumpled maps. We're talking about a film, where the plot’s a maze, the dames are dangerous, and nobody says what they mean unless it’s with a gun. We ask the real questions: Did people really age that badly, or did everyone just look like they'd...
S01 E88 - #13 The Matrix
This week in the shop we question if we’re really in a shop and if we aren’t, why’s the internet so bad? We travel back to 1999 or is it 2199, either way there’s a lot to say! We wonder if it’s time for this film to be reconsidered as more of a classic than it is and discuss how sequels can impact the memories of the original film, even when no one has memories of the sequels. Kev has no...
S01 E87 - #14 Chef
This year we go back to 2014, the glory times of social media when it was just used for friendly arguments and going viral was a plot of a film rather than a horrifying reality for anyone, anywhere. Andy and Kev go head to head on their favourite performance by the lead actor, possibly thinking one is a prequel to the other. Carla joins us at the shop for one of her favourite films and Kev talks...
S01 E86 - #15 The Goonies
Today we explore a true 80s classics as we head out on our bikes to explore the woods and try and find treasure. Andy talks about his gang past and recounts still trying to find the same adventure he did when he was 1985 Andy, with mixed results. Kev wonders what the verb for not taking notes whilst watching a movie for a podcast might be called and compare water slide scenes with past watches on...

And then we end in style with a healthy discussion about the...

This week we show our age by going deep into the 90s with a film that’s a mere 35 years old! We talk about how different the 90s were to the 80s and how cool or uncool we were at the time (everyone will definitely guess which one we were but no spoilers!) We ask if Christian Slater had the career he should have had and the power of glasses to transform any character. Did this film invent...

This week we cover an epic 4hr finale to the trilogy…will Freddie and Woody survive...will we all survive Andy's recounting of the entire film in detail, only Andy knows and that worries us all. Woody mistakenly has high expectations of a film on Andy's list, we bring back some old categories for a bit of nostalgia. AND have we finally broken Andy, when he mentions the film didn't need romance!!...
S01 E82 - #19 Good Morning Vietnam
This week we start off strong with Kev doing impressions of famous actors saying the immortal line from this film. We discuss what we know about the Vietnam war that we see in movies and how that’s different generation by generation as we welcome back a younger guest (maybe for the last time because of all the shots fired) to watch the final Robin Williams film on the list. We ponder whatever...

Kev asks if this film invented Only Fans (good for the SEO), so come...
S01 E78 - #23 O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Remember when Andy said there were no more Andy movies on his list? Neither do we, as it clearly didn’t happen in light of this week’s film. We explore Kev’s Mind palace, talk about how much this film is an adaptation and try not to get into a full sing-song. Kev pays Matthew Broderick the ultimate compliment but starts a new fight with Bobby DeNiro, as we talk through #23 on the list, O Brother...
S01 E77 - #24 The Breakfast Club
This week we're diving headfirst into the wonderful world of John Hughes, remembering to "always be recording" those crucial moments.

S01 E73 - #28 The Talented Mr Ripley
Today we talk about both a film that Kev hasn’t seen that IS on the list and strangely a film Kev hasn’t seen that’s NOT on the list. Are they the same film…no! Andy admits he’s not really looking forward to watching the film, Kev welcomes him to his world. We ask out of such a stellar cast, who has had the best career and just how blind can love be, the answer to the first question being easier...
S01 E72 - #29 Edge of Tomorrow
This week Andy starts the pod with a bold, verging on ridiculous claim on Hollywood stardom and Tom Cruise’s career. We try and remember what we’ve already spoken about in previous podcasts, an impossible task for Kev and talk about all the 3D DVDs we have in the shop that no one takes out anymore. The second half gets a bit repetitive but we’ll blame the movie as we watch number 29 on the list,...
S01 E71 - #30 Hook
This week, a boy who never grew up joins me on the pod 😁 We cover off possibly Spielberg's worse movie, and have to bring in the "Fifth Element Rule".

S01 E69 - #32 The Bourne Identity
This week, we start off with a game of 4 degrees of Danny Dyer (which strangely gets Barbara Windsor deepfaked into the film). We try to work out if there are good guys left or just bad guys on both sides. There is a spoiler about the Metroid (sorry if you didnt evacuate). We have a huge name drop, we cover Carla's childhood, and her movie amnesia. Hanks makes it into the Pod again 🙄 and a...
S01 E68 - #33 Bugsy Malone
This week, just like the movie we’re watching, the kids take over the pod to great effect. We talk about many different films, including coming up with an entirely new one.

The pod begins with that age old question, whatever happened to Clive Owen? We wonder just how much of a horror gets onto the list and Natalie impresses us with a sophisticated one word reaction! Kev thinks the premise of the movie sounds like one long happy hour and we leave it late for the plot twist as we watch #36 on the list Children of Men
S01 E64 - #37 Ikiru
We discuss what we’d do if someone said they had 1 day to live and wanted you to spend their money, what types of arguments we want out our funerals, how good Pod TopTrumps would be, and Kev shocks everyone with how he watches the film! All this and more for number 37 on the list, Ikiru Quote: "I dont know what i have been doing with my life all these years" IMDB:...

We return to the shop to watch the fellowship of the ring part 2, also known as the Two Towers with the same group as before.

S01 E60 - #41 The Apartment
Andy takes an absolute age to describe why this week’s film is in his top 100 films, nearly sending Kevin to sleep with his journey through Cinematic history! We wonder how much tragedy you can have in a film and still have it be considered a comedy, what the moral of the story might be and how film making as a whole has changed (or hasn’t) since it came out. At number 41 on the list, it’s The...
S01 E59 - #42 Layer Cake
This week we chart the journey of a famous actor through peak British TV including Boon and our Friends in the North! Carla returns to the shop partly because she’s never seen this week’s film and partly because she turned up to the second half recording of last week’s film having not watched it yet!

Too much romance not enough heist! This week we go deep on Dennis Leary, who is the best Bond in the film and would Columbo have solved the case any quicker.

S01 E51 - #50 High Fidelity
We’re officially into the top 50, which means we definitely know which way we’re going, up or down….right….right?? We discuss how much the movie is a film of 2 halves, whether Nick Hornby would be a good person to date and what dance we’d want at our funeral.

We discuss the glory of a film set in the future that is now in the past and wonder what this film's (and Andy's) obsession with hats is.
