Spinal Tap 2: Back on the Road or Just Treading Water?
Spinal Tap is back for one last, barely‑functional blast of rock mayhem — and we’re diving straight into the glorious chaos of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. The band reunites for a final, unwanted concert, the amps are still dangerously loud, and the drummers remain statistically unsafe. We also take a moment to mourn the loss of Rob Reiner, the legendary filmmaker who gave the world Marty DiBergi and shaped the original film’s genius. His absence hangs over this sequel, but his influence is everywhere. Expect nostalgia, nonsense, and a celebration of the loudest band that never quite got it together.

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992): Masterpiece or Muppet-show?
Two of us believe The Muppet Christmas Carol is the peak of festive cinema, a perfect blend of Michael Caine’s gravitas and Gonzo’s narration. The other thinks it should be buried in the past with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Join us for a heated debate where we defend the magic of "One More Sleep 'til Christmas" against a co-host who has officially gone full Humbug. Is Michael Caine the greatest Scrooge of all time, or is our third mic just allergic to joy? We’re lighting the lamp (not the rat!) for a festive showdown.
