It's episode #299 and we're feelin' fine. 

NO ENCORE returns as Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick elevate the humble B-side to A-tier status. Does that make sense? Does anything? Are you even reading these words or are they reading you? Think about it.

ACT ONE: Dave watched a film that scared him.

ACT TWO (6:47): A very Radio Nova-esque news section takes in hot young whippersnappers like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. We have time for at least two of those acts, anyway. 

Plus – Demi Lovato says to cool it on the extraterrestrial remarks and Madonna's biopic sounds like it's going to challenge us all, in its way.

ACT THREE (26:34): The airing of grievances. The appreciation of understatement. The adventure of a perhaps bygone era. 

Oh, and Craig frantically digging through his physical music collection in real-time – it's our Top 5 B-Sides!
