This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1993 American political comedy film, Dave.
Thomas gets his Medium Rigid Vehicle Licence, and does an Antony*. Colin used to be an adventurer like you. Then he took an arrow to each cubital fossa. He blames René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo for the way he mispronounces asterisk.
Sokar is a hawk or falcon god of the Memphite necropolis in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was known as a patron of the living, as well as a god of the dead.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1999 American psychological thriller film, The Sixth Sense.
Thomas outFoxes Chrome, weaving a tangled web(page) in the process. Colin messes up, and has the photo to prove it.
Colin yet again stuffs up pronouncing M. Night Shyamalan's name. He doesn't even try. Pathetic, really.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1989 American action comedy film, Blind Fury.
Thomas denies planning Colin's demise, but it all sounds fishy. Colin hoped to follow Thomas' example by avoiding undue waffle.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2010 American disaster action thriller film, Unstoppable.
Thomas goes There (and Back Again.) He considers paying the price of an experimental Alan Parsons album on a one-way ticket to Swansea. Colin is sorely tested, but also tests.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1985 medieval fantasy film, Ladyhawke.
Thomas is keeping secrets. Colin paints the town (or at least his shoulder) red.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2001 American science fiction action adventure film, Planet of the Apes.
Thomas failed to fix the sky, and now the stars won't come back. Colin is back on the team!

Today Colin learned: There are cameo appearances in Planet of the Apes (2001) by Charlton Heston (uncredited) as Zaius, Thade's father, and Linda Harrison (the woman in the cart).
"French utility EDF on Tuesday again pushed back the start date on its long-delayed 3.2-gigawatt (GW) Hinkley Point C reactor plant in Britain to at least 2029, with a new estimated cost of between 31 billion and 34 billion pounds ($43 billion) based on 2015 values.
"The project in southwest England, Britain's first new nuclear plant in more than two decades, was at the last update expected to start operations in June 2027, with an estimated cost of 25-26 billion pounds, which also was a revision of a previous 2025 start date at a cost then estimated at 18 billion pounds. EDF had initially said it would be powering British homes in 2017.
"Other similar new-build nuclear projects in Flamanville, France, and Olkiluoto, Finland have been delayed and faced big increases in costs."

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1946 American film noir mystery drama film, The Verdict.
Thomas does Art. Colin notes that "This isn't a Science Podcast."

Sydney Greenstreet was born in 1879. The Silent Motion Picture Era is generally recognized as being between 1894 to 1929. The Jazz Singer (1927) is recognised as the first "talking" motion picture, and within only a few years "talkies" were the default. So Sydney Greenstreet, at 62, waited 14 years after Talkies kicked off before acting on film in The Maltese Falcon (1941, so FIVE years prior to the Verdict). The great silent film actor, producer and director Charlie Chaplin was the big Talkie hold out; he didn't make a talking film until The Great Dictator (1940).
It seems that my hunch was right; Peter Lorre (born László Löwenstein) is, indeed, pronounced "Peter Lorre".

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1973 American science fiction film, Battle for the Planet of the Apes.
Thomas expresses his delight in cost-overruns even before any planning applications for a certain building are drawn up. Colin Has a treat for Thomas!

(Reddit Opinions: "if someone asked me to describe it I wouldn't know what to say. I just don't know what it tastes like it's like water to me I'm so used to it Idk what it tastes of.", "tastes kinda like rust and battery acid and it's magic.", "A bubbling highland stream mixed with casual violence. But in a good way.", "Orange. Not the fruit, the colour. And sugar.", "It tastes of unicorn blood, thistle juice, and the sweet, sweet tears of the English women mourning their dead at Stirling Bridge.")
"It" finally appeared while we watched the film. It was glorious!
