In today's episode, to celebrate the pod reaching 50 (FIFTY) episodes, Tom pulls the old switcheroo and gets Mya to assume hosting duties whilst Tom plays the role of 'knowledgeable' guest. She quizzes Tom on his passion for film, his work at Gower Street, and what he thinks about the impending Awards season. Come for the laughs, stay for the detailed analysis of Tom's childhood.

Here's to the next fifty. Thanks for coming.

Tom and Mya discuss the whole month of December - yes, including Christmas - and all the films that you can feast your lovely little eyes on in this glorious month. Well, not all of them, just the headlines, but hey, Google exists. As do other search engines. Bing, for example. And more.

Will Avatar: Fire and Ash be big? Who's to say. Listen for more ground-breaking insights.

This week, Tom is joined by... absolutely nobody! And he apologises for that. But never fear, he shall quickly and efficiently and definitely without any rambling nonsense guide you through the next two weeks, which are bringing two biggies to the big screen. This weekend has Wicked: For Good, the conclusion to last year's Wicked, and next weekend has sequel to 2016's Zootopia, conveniently called Zootopia 2.

But that's not all! Once he has talked through all the numbers involved in those films, he also brings to your attention some of the possibly overlooked films that are also coming out over the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
