NEXT EP - we complete the tournament and crown the winner of the Europa League of Pod

Paul and Ste continue the Sopranos odyssey. The trip to Italy, Big Pussy the rat, Richie Aprile's yoga masterclass, Chris getting shot, Furio's ponytail, Paulie and ghosts, Peter Bogdanovich's massive water bottle - this season has it all.

NEXT EP - The Sopranos Season Three

The lads start their third hundred of episodes chatting about the best art thing of our lifetimes, The Sopranos. Madferrit.

NEXT EP - The Sopranos Season Two

The lads have made it to two hundred and what an incredible feeling.

They celebrate in the only way they know how - by discussing John Carpenter's stone cold classic The Thing. ET can suck a fat one.

NEXT EP - The Sopranos Season One

Paul and Ste reach back to 1990 to chat about the excellent Jacob's Ladder. Starring Tim Robbins and a bunch of great character actors. It's a perfect fusion of 70s New York stank and 90s spookiness.

Also discussed - the Barbican, JG Ballard, Trump, stand-up comedy, whither spoons?, and the star power of Kevin Costner.

NEXT EP - THE TWO HUNDO and The Thing
