The film's climactic commodities scene is so accurate that it's reportedly been used to teach finance, and even helped inspire a real piece of US trading law. Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story as the tables turn.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, Elmer Bernstein's score, and the cinematography — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's enduring status as a festive favourite. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 is the set-up to the swap — Landis, the cast, the first half. Go back for it.

Two heartless old men bet a single dollar on whether they can ruin one man's life and remake another's. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the sharpest comedy of its era.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director John Landis, the cast, and the second act — including Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd swapping lives, Jamie Lee Curtis's scene-stealing turn, and the Duke brothers' cruel little experiment.

The revenge on the trading floor is still to come. Part 2 settles the score: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

Cameron sold the rights for a single dollar on the condition he got to direct it, betting everything on himself. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, building to the showdown in the factory.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd screenplay, Brad Fiedel's pulsing score, and the stop-motion and practical effects behind the endoskeleton — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the franchise and legacy it launched. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

For how the hunt begins — Cameron, the cast, the first half — Part 1 is the place.

James Cameron dreamed up an unstoppable metal killer while sick with a fever in Rome, and built a franchise out of it. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director James Cameron, the cast, and the second act — including Arnold Schwarzenegger cast against expectations as the villain, the relentless chase, and the scrappy, low-budget ingenuity on display.

The machine just keeps coming, and so does the show. Part 2 reloads: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.

They may take our lives, but they'll never take the historical accuracy. Mainly because there wasn't a great deal of it to take. Mel Gibson's Braveheart (1995) plays gleefully fast and loose with the facts, then went and won five Oscars, Best Picture and Best Director among them.

Gibson directs and stars as William Wallace, marshalling thousands of extras (a good number of them Irish Army reservists) across some genuinely enormous battle sequences. Luke, Westy and Matt weigh the spectacle against the liberties, get into that rousing and much-pinched speech, and deliver three scores out of 10. Freedom, or fiction?

The famous jump was actually performed by McQueen's friend and stunt double Bud Ekins, though McQueen did much of the rest of the riding himself. Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story, as the escape unfolds and unravels.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay drawn from the true account, Elmer Bernstein's rousing march of a score, and the stunt work behind the chase — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's enduring status as a bank-holiday staple. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

Part 1 is the build to the breakout — Sturges, the cast, the first half. Worth starting there.

That motorcycle jump is one of the most famous stunts in film history, and Steve McQueen wanted to do it himself. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the all-star prisoner-of-war epic.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director John Sturges, the cast, and the second act — including the ensemble of escapees, the meticulous tunnel-digging operation, and McQueen's Cooler King straining against authority.

The break itself is still to come. Part 2 goes over the wire: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
