Joined by special guest Jacob who wishes to make a case for the movie Arrival (covered in episode 1), while Paul reminisces about Stickle Bricks, Rick calls a genuine(?) missing persons hotline and has to look up how to spell 'reminisces'. They manage to rise from the ashes of this dumpster fire to review a movie.

The movie this week is incidentally, The Phoenix Incident.

Paul discovers the agony of sound engineering and editing as we discuss Berberian Sound Studio. Special Guest Jolyon joins to make a spirited defence of Seinfeld. 

MInd-virus zombie movie Pontypool this week. Paul tries to break his brain looking at op-art, but we discover that it is already broken. 

Passengers (2016) raises all kinds of ethical dilemmas for Rick and Paul (who is now recording from a roadside). Ethical questions like "is it okay to try and have phone sex with an AI?"

An important episode in which Paul finds another noisy piece of furniture to record the podcast from, we learn which was Paul's favourite Spice Girl, and thanks to a discussion of the 1977 movie Suspiria we also learn what a transom window is. 

Paul is fascinated to hear about IP addresses and the danger of the pseudoscience of polygraph tests as both our hosts learn to deal with criticism.  The movie is The Signal (2017). 

Paul invents the word "foreload" while we discuss Gaspar Noe's 2018 drug-dance-horror Climax. The film references drug use, suicide, infanticide and rape, and has strong sexual content, so be warned, or foreloaded, if you will. 

Warning! This podcast contains political views. Listener discretion is advised. 

Rick reveals his radical political manifesto while Paul, squeaking in his leather chesterfield armchair throughout, suggests abolishing furlough. All while discussing the refugee horror movie His House.

The pros and cons of dressing for sex and the etiquette of massage arousal are issues provoked by 2014 horror/thriller Creep. 

"All the flowers have been put in the pie!". The Boards of Canada music in the soundtrack of Sinister (2012) causes Rick to explain number stations to Paul. "Fireworks for a Colin-the-caterpillar cake".
