This Week's Apocalypse

We had our first incident of an episode failing due to technical tomfoolery, so we thought we would talk about some movies that got wrecked by other kinds of tomfoolery, mainly concentrating on Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's The Island of Dr Moreau, in the hopes that other peoples failures would overshadow our own...

Money, murder, GAMBLING! Kevin avoids all of these things as he tries to protect himself from the nightmare of Las Vegas, while John explores the concept of failing successfully...

Kevin is off on holiday, so a different, and shorter episode this week, as we go on a waffling discussion about out most referenced author: Terry Pratchett. How we discovered him, why we like him, and what our favourites are

He was a master of character development and story telling, but also, we just bloody love him!

In a fortnight we'll be back to movies, but for now, enjoy!

Quiz shows? We have no answers!

Game shows? We have no gimmicks!

Obstacle courses? We have zero coordination!

Original Ideas? We have none!

Time to steal from movies once again!

John and kevin are doing something a little different this week (due to scheduling conflicts and adventures in Scotland), so it's all about franchises, what makes them good, what makes them bad, and you probably won't agree with half of it!

Look out Fanboys, we're here to annoy you!

Kevin really needs to make this sale, but John isn't enough of a chump to fall for his sales technique. Perhaps coming up with a new catchphrase will help? If not, then maybe he can get some advice from the lying scum of Hollywood! Or at least, the salesmen from these movies...
