Technically the second green room but the first you can hear... Jim has alcoholic chocolates. Hope he's brought enough for everyone

New Year same old nonsense.  Welcome back to the cast. This one is just a little different as we catch up with everyone and how their christmas period went. So we have chat about Air Fryers, Gilets, fixing taps, knives and that old christmas chestnut of nearly being shot in the face by a crossbow.

We'll be back to our regular schedule next week as we kick off 2025 with the Harry Styles / Florence Pugh film Dont Worry Darling

This week Jim gets his door, Elton watches Carry on which doesnt have Sid James in it, Darren catches up with Salems Lot and nearly burns his house down, while Lee finishes Black Doves and loses a car park ticket twice in less than 20 seconds.  After some feedback things get heated about Jaffa Cakes and flavours of Coke. Before we finally review the final movie of the year. Die Hard and Home Alone with a distinct christmas twist Violent Night.  We will return in 2025 but until then on behalf of all the hosts, we wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy new year.  Media discussed this week Carry On - Netflix Salems Lot - Amazon Prime Rental Black Doves - Netflix Secret Level (second half of season 1) - Amazon Prime Violent night - Netflix

Why is Jonah Lomu doing a hacker at christmas to "Can you send the cavalry" 

This week Elton slacks off again while Jims door continues to vex him, Darrens love of Superman & Lois continues into the realms of dusty rooms as the final episode airs, while Lee watches Secret Level and gets rather disturbed by a ruthless assassin in Netflix's new prestige show Black Doves, mainly because he has the voice of Paddington Bear.  Then after that we are Asking for Trouble with questions about Crisps, public information films (not ones about Otters) and where the cream on a scone or sc-O-ne goes. Before or after the jam.  And finally with conclude with a review of the crazy portmantau movie A Christmas Horror Story, featuring the acting "talents" of one Mr William Shatner. Media Discussed This Week Superman & Lois  - The CW  Dredge - PC / Xbox / Playstation Secret Level - Amazon Prime Black Doves - Netflix A Christmas Horror Story - Amazon Prime (If you're extremely specific about the search phrase)

This week Elton is off so its down to Jim with a dodgy door, Darren with commuter PTSD and Lee who goes to see an art exhibition where the artists do... Well... Nothing, to hold the fort.  We also have more questions answered in Asking for Trouble and then its off to follow the worlds most uptight man and the literal devil as they go on an odyssey across America in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  Media Discussed this week Dredge - PC, Playstation, Xbox Planes Trains and Automobiles - Amazon Prime / AllFour

This week Jims illness results in him getting meds that turn him into a Mogwai. Elton, watches Paddington In Peru and unwittingly unleashes sexy popcorn on the world (Note to self: Be nice to Elton Month starts in December). Darren watches Wicked and gets nostalgic for Need for Speed 2. While Lee watches two big streaming shows, bails on both after two episodes each and then completes the bad watch streak with the utterly tedious Hellboy: The Crooked Man  After that its two tricky questions with extensive answers in this weeks Asking For Trouble segment before we froth at the mouth in sheer horror as we review the complete bilge that is Paul McCartneys boondoggle project Give My Regards To Broad Street. Media Discussed This Week Paddington in Peru - Theatrical Release Wicked - Theatrical Release Hellboy The Crooked Man - Amazon Prime Rental Cross - Amazon Prime The Inside Man - Netflix Give My Regards To Broad Street - Some random sewer dump.
