Another exception as we wander into the new century to test guest Chris Jarvie's theory that the Pixar movie Cars is the greatest movie ever made about, well, cars. Mario Bernardi wades in with his opinion and what happens is a first rate review full of laughs and insights.

What can we say that's new about Raiders of the Lost Ark. Turns out, a lot. Kristian Reimer joins us for what turned into a far ranging and often hilarious discussion about Raiders. Is it a timeless masterpiece that deserved more recognition at Oscar time or just another adventure film? Listen, and judge for yourself.

Scott Faulconbridge is back and he's talking about a movie that's totally different from what he's brought in the past - 1996's Fargo. But is it really all that different? Jimmy think so but Scott makes a convincing argument for a quirky, black comedy masterpiece. He brings a unique vision - if for no other reason than for where he saw it. Funny and engaging.

Phil and Jim get together again to watch each other's movie choice and discuss them. Phil made Jim watch Inception and Jim made Phil watch Key Largo. Jim got confused, Phil got bemused. So who do you think got it right?

Happy Valentine's Day everybody. It's our special Valentine's episode with everybody's favourite cutie pie Chris Wuergler. Chris brings a little magic with her movie for lovers, 1998's Practical Magic. But is it all that magical? Or practical for that matter. As usual with Chris, it's another fun episode.

It's a different time, a time when the world was black and white and nothing made sense - especially the movie The Big Sleep. It was Chris Wuergler's choice but even she can't make sense of it. What is there about this film noir classic that nobody on the podcast is getting. Maybe it's just the mystique of Bogie? Listen to find out. Another fun episode.

Predator is like catnip to guys - it drives them crazy. Jimmy and Phil host Nik Duncan and surprise guest Ryan Sim to talk about the Sylvester Stallone macho-fest Predator and it turns into three guys wild about the movie while Jimmy rolls his eyes. There must be something to it because the podcast has never seen such enthusiasm. Lots of fun - mostly at Jimmy's expense.

Chris Jarvie and Mario Bernardi return to talk about the sequel to The Thin Man. After finding the original better than they expected, Jimmy pushed them to check out the sequel. Did they like it? Well, some real surprises on that front. It might just convince you to check out an old movie for yourself.

Our second special Christmas episode takes a look at The Muppet Christmas Carol with guests Chris Jarvie and Christine Kinahan. How does it compare to the classic 1951 version? And is a comparison even fair? Has it enhanced the original or just cashed in with Disneylike touches that blow up what Dickens was trying to say? Or is it just a light piece of fluff we all need at Christmas? A fun listen - especially about the song and the scene they left out.

Alistair Sim is easily the greatest Scrooge of all time in 1951's "A Christmas Carol" - or "Scrooge", as it's known in the UK. It's a movie that didn't have much success when released in North America but has gone on to become a beloved Christmas classic. Or is beloved to strong a word? Guest Ryan Sim doesn't think so - but then again he's related to Alistair Sim. It's a magical Christmas episode that's both funny and touching. Give it a listen.
