Prepare yourself, gorgeous Critters, for this week the Ctrl Alt Critique crew are resisting eviction and plugging themselves into Matthew Robbins' 1987 sci-fi fantasy, Batteries Not Included.

Join the trio for some high-voltage absurdity. Bailey reveals his twisted blueprint on how to deter Mr Lacey's contractors, pitching a disturbing method of getting the adorable 'Fix-its' to execute some unwitting surgery on their victims. Ad, meanwhile, maps out his own defence plan, drafting up a concept for an R-rated Home Alone scenario designed to give Lacey's thugs a truly visceral reception. Amber somehow manages to short-circuit her dating fantasies, managing to turn a heart warming romance into a personal nightmare of rejection and eternal loneliness.
