It's another UNCUT special, back to our eighth episode and third ever dumb science movie! A two brothers classic: Geostorm. This week you get 20 extra minutes of our incredulity at the ridiculousness of this movie! Enjoy

We've got frozen deserts, exploding cities, giant tsunamis and #airlockdrama! Abi tries to understand the scientific and economic logistics of a space net while Freda just wants this movie to flush itself out of her brain. It hurts all the science parts.

"I want it dead, I want it's whole family dead, I want it down in the ground!"
