As we veer off the 0% list to satiate our first return guest, filmmaker Michael Shanks (NOT the actor from Stargate) convinces us to watch a film with 16% positive reviews. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst writes and directs this... thriller? The Fanatic (2019) stars John Travolta as an on-the-spectrum super-fan who breaks bad and stalks a B-list actor with bloody consequences. It's kinda like Joker, Taxi Driver, and that Eminem song Stan...

Kay Ansah AKA Citizen Kay - Canberra rapper and producer - let us into his studio to talk about 2000's LA street comedy 3 Strikes.

Leaving prison, he's picked up in a stolen car later stopped by the police. Can he prove his innocence before he's caught?

The potato boiz take a break from talking movies to talk about other things; lawsuits, name changes, actors, and (of course) movies.

Originally published 22 September 2020.

Michelle Brasier (Aunty Donna, Mad as Hell) joins the gang to talk about 2002's erotic thriller Killing Me Softly starring Heather Graham (Austin Powers) and Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love).

There's also an appearance from Ronan Vibert who looks exactly like a short-haired Alan Rickman. It's a very horny and somewhat problematic film, but if you like nudity and passionate sex, ice-climbing and fish-murdering, you might like this.

Directed by famed-Chinese director and Palme d'Or winner Kaige Chen.
