We get back into the swing of monster analysis with one of the best representations ever of dragons on the screen. From their evil eyes to that gorgeous sternum, Sam and Dave look at how a Dragon might fly, spit fire, and give your girl the wrong number. Supa Hot Fire also does 2 of those things.

In the first of a bunch of smaller side episodes (because it's Easter and we're on holidays), we look at the ecological ramifications of the notorious snap from 2018's Avengers: Infinity War. How would the planet fare if we took Thanos as having wiped out 50% of all species? probably not well, but damn it would be interesting.

Dave and I look at some of our favourite and least favourite movie scientists. Includes rants about lab coats, self testing and Spiderman.

In week two of our time on 2017's The Ritual, we stumble through a large confusing forest riddled with large spinous processes and patches of burnt skin. Should you hang a corpse up in your front garden? Probably not. Not good for the soil.
