Dedicating your life to scientific pursuits can have countless benefits for humanity, but you have to bear in mind the potential drawbacks. You could study something before its dangerous effects are known, like Marie Curie, invent something monumentally destructive, like J. Robert Oppenheimer, or accidentally fall through a time hole to the court of King Arthur like Dr. Vivian Morgan, the protagonist of the film we're here to talk about today.

Luckily, Vivian isn't the sort of person to get bogged down in things like 'trying to understand what happened' and 'attempting to get back to her home time', and instead throws herself wholeheartedly into her two passions: speedrunning the industrial revolution and murdering her rivals at court. But can she truly make life better for the serfs of England? Can Arthur be persuaded that the King's Law isn't always right? And why does Merlin keep spinning in a circle, emitting colourful gas? Listen and find out!

Those video games that the kids are always playing. Almost seems like they're hypnotised by them, doesn't it? But what if kids really were hypnotised by a videogame?! And that videogame had somehow been programmed by an octogenarian circus magician and ran on every console? Wait, go back one.

Yes, this week's So Weird is about that old science fiction staple, an evil videogame, programmed by a retired magician, that hypnotises children into becoming stockbrokers. How will Annie overcome the dastardly influence of Banglebye? And how did they make this entire episode without ever once showing us the game? Listen and find out!

What would you do with the incredible power of time travel? No, look... no, you can't stop historical tragedies from happening because you can only go back in time 48 hours so- no, you can't buy a lottery ticket either because you're a teenager in this scenario, so you- no, you can't see wonderful things all over the world, you have to remain within a 20 minute travel radius of your school. You'd use it to stop nerds embarrassing themselves two days in the past? Yeah, that's probably as good as it's going to get, isn't it.

That's the decision the heroes of this week's DCOM, 2008's Minutemen, also come to and before long they're popping out of a time hole to stop a nerd from getting pantsed, and barreling through the space time continuum to prevent a geek from walking around school with toilet paper stuck to his shoe. But when their chronovigilantism offers one of them a chance to undo his greatest mistake, will he take it? Listen and find out!

Imagine the situation: the Walt Disney company wants to turn your life story into a movie! It's a dream come true. That is, until the movie comes out, and you realise it's a crushingly boring series of basketball games and for some reason they've decided to name it "Double Teamed". You'd be livid.

Still, I suppose it has to feature some basketball, as Double Teamed tells the real life story of Heather and Heidi Burge, twin sisters and pioneers of the WNBA. But their rise to the top wasn't always smooth, if this film is to be believed, and they had to deal with among other things, not liking basketball, evil teammates, and since this is a DCOM, the world's worst dad.

Being a princess is hard work. You're the best person in your whole kingdom, and yet you're somehow expected to set an example for the scum who live there, and occasionally military dictators will stride into your throne room and declare a military coup. Luckily for those situations, we have the Princess Protection Program, a secret service just for young, female royalty, who will spirit princesses away from dangerous conflict zones and force them to live in a stinking bait shack in a Louisiana swamp. Hooray!

This unlikely situation is where Princess Rosalinda (Demi Lovato) finds herself in 2009's Princess Protection Program, much to the chagrin of one of the bait shack's current occupants, Carter (Selena Gomez). However, as Rosalinda's exile continues, the two find themselves growing closer, and both of them start to realise the true meaning of being a princess: pop rock montages. Will Rosalinda be able to return to the kingdom of Costa Luna? Can Carter win the coveted title of Homecoming Queen? And why doesn't General Kane just strafe everyone involved with his F-16s? Listen and find out!

The title of this week's DCOM, Camp Rock, is misleading, because while it does take place at a camp, the only rocking taking place is the rocking back and forth by harrowed students who can't face another day of impromptu unaccompanied singing, people drumming on every available surface, and hip hop dance classes taught by Joe Jonas.

Apparently though, there are people who actually want to attend Camp Rock, on purpose, people like Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), who scores a coveted spot at the camp thanks to them hiring her mom's catering business. But when Mitchie lies about her background to impress some popular girls, she starts building a house of cards that could come crashing down, taking a Jonas Brother's feelings with it. Will Mitchie learn to be true to herself? Why did one of the Jonas Brothers allow himself to be characterised as a backwards idiot? And is "Brown Cesario" a real name? Listen and find out!

Parents might seem like they've got everything figured out, but it's worth remembering that they're just one failed time travel experiment away from crying, throwing temper tantrums, and liberally pissing themselves at the slightest provocation. Not so high and mighty now, eh?

That's the premise of 2001's The Poof Point, in which accomplished husband and wife scientist team Norton and Marigold Ballard decide to let a dog wander into their time machine and start pulling things out at random. Because of this, the pair starts rapidly de-aging and it's up to their kids, Eddie and Marie to save the day before their bickering parents reach the fatal 'poof point' and poof out of existence. Will the Ballards be able to figure out what went wrong with the experiment? Should Eddie still attend his audition for the band The Urban Slugs, considering that his parents will die very soon? Did Norty make a mess? Listen and find out!

We're back in the Wonderful World of Disney this week, to check out Life-Size, the 2000 comedy starring Lindsay Lohan as a grieving little girl who uses a necromancy grimoire to try and resurrect her dead mother, and Tyra Banks as a doll who comes to life and tries to have sex with that little girl's father.

Lohan plays Casey, a young girl who uses a mystical book to try and bring her mom back to life, but when some doll hair accidentally gets into her dark ritual she ends up with a life-sized doll named Eve (Banks), who is eager to experience everything the world has to offer, especially Casey's Dad (Jere Burns), and every other man at his law office. Will Casey be able to find the book containing the reversal spell and send Eve back to her home town of Sunnyvale? Will dad realise that his daughter is more important than making partner at his law firm? And why is this film a dark erotic thriller instead of a fun kids' film? Listen and find out!

High-schooler Jamie Bartlett finds herself thrust onto the world stage when an email error sees her fictionlised journal become a nationwide best-seller. But what will happen if her fellow students find out some of the characters are loosely based on them?!

If your answer is 'probably nothing?' then boy does Read It and Weep have a problem with you, buddy. Brace for one of the most incoherent DCOMs Luke and Andy have ever encountered, made only slightly more palatable by a Green Goblin-esque mind shattering and roiling masses of hyper-aggressive iguanas.
