Movie The Needle

The last of our run of specials before we get back to the real business of discussing individual movies for hours on end!

This week we turn to you, loyal listener and see what you have to say. We answer your questions, listen to your ramblings and generally regret the whole endeavour.

Keep those comments, emails and messages coming - we genuinely do love hearing from you.

It’s another little special episode where we try and Mov(i)e the Needle, not for each other but for those damn movie critics.

We scoured the web for a movie that had terrible reviews that we both thought was being criminally underrated, and we came up with Cocktail!

We have a couple of games, some top 3’s and some talk about the movie itself.

Warning: This episode may contain bad poetry

We complete our trilogy of little tournaments that look back on the movies we've covered on the podcast so far - this time we pit our favourite characters from each against each other in a literal (not literally) bloodbath to see who ultimately prevails!

It's less than an hour, so give it a listen and stop complaining they are too long.
