The Best Bits

In an impromptu last-minute recording, throwing caution to the wind, Kevin ropes in a surprise special guest to help him and Will with not one, not two, but three bite-size scene themes! Best Unscripted Scene, Best "Jump the Shark" Scene, and Best Cameo Scene. In a freewheeling episode, Irish screenwriter Pierce Ryan (Standby, Black '47) drops in and drops knowledge.

Never send a boy to do a man's job! So for this episode, Will and Kevin are joined by another extra special guest. This week it's writer/director Ciarán Foy (Eli, Sinister 2, Citadel, The Haunting of Bly Manor) who has just so happened to have directed child actors in every one of his produced projects. From child stars to movie brats, choosing a favourite scene with a Kid Protagonist gave us a first in the show's history. But what is it? And who did they pick? Could it be Mac and Me?!

It was one of the greatest conflicts in world history and it inspired some of the greatest filmmakers to make some of the greatest films ever made. This was a job too big for two podcasters and so for this episode, Will and Kevin have drafted in Irish screenwriter Jamie Hannigan (Pilgrimage) to join them on what proves an epic quest to find the Best World War II Scene! Oh, and Kevin's parents pop in.
