It's a shortie but a goodie this week as we release an episode from the vault. We're shining a spotlight on recent pair of Simpsons episodes that are actually great? Shocking, I know. Listen now to find out why A Serious Flanders is worth watching. Bye-diddily-eye, neighbourinos!

It has been a long wait but the time has finally come for us to venture to the abandonded town of 'Shelby Oaks'. What did we think of YouTube critic Chris Stuckmann's Directorial Debut? Did it disappoint or did it creep us out? Or did it do a little bit of both? Listen to hear our thoughts on that and the underseen mind-bender 'It's What's Inside', out now on Netflix.

One guess to figure out what the movie's about.

The boys are back from their hiatus with a hot fresh review of a moive that's 20 years old! Goodness, how time flies. They've been away so long that Batman Begins is now retro and Jack has a child. Has some time away and the arrival of a newborn affected their reviewing abilities. Listen to find out.

It's not the size that matters but what you do with it. This is our ethos this week as we have a very short episode for you in a bit of a different format. This is because Jack has had a baby and is on paternity leave! Congratulations to him and his partner! But never fear, Cameron has reviews of Friendship and Another Round in our male mid-life crisis spectacular. Hope you enjoy and find some peace, unlike our protagonists.
