Closing up And Now for Something Completely Similar is the sequel to the Danny Boyle classic - T2 Trainspotting. Have Brendan and Jason FINALLY found a remake/sequel that comes close to living up to the original? How successful is the film at suddenly giving the psychotic Begbie some nuance and sympathy without it feeling hokey? Who is the newest and smartest character in the franchise? How honest is Renton as the narrator? Finally - does the shooting/editing style change and does it mature alongside the characters themselves?

 

Plus: They're down to the final ten films on the BFI Top 100! The guys go back to the list and draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
