The group is spicing things up this week as each Talkie picks a film for the other two to watch. First up is Jacob's choice with Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock where they try to figure out why it scared Jacob as a child. Long's pick is next with Tampopo which makes them all hungry for some noodles. Lastly the Talkies get intellectual with Irreversible and discuss the film's deeper meaning.

What happens at picnics at hanging rock? Does Long fancy a young Ken Watanabe? Why on Earth did Alex pick Irreversible? The answer to these and much more as the Talkies take a break from summer indies and blockbusters!
