Taking one last break from the list, the guys start the recurring series And Now for Something Completely Similar by discussing the sequel 28 Weeks Later.

And now for something... completely similar!

One more for the road! This week, the guys talk about the ill-fated sequel The Descent Part 2.

Next week: Back to the list and back to T.C.

This week, the guys are A House Divided™ as they discuss Duncan Jones' passion project, the Netflix Original - Mute. Does Justin Theroux's character NEED to be a pedophile?

It's a bit more contentious this week, folks!

Next week: Going back to the caves with our favourite ladies!
