Bring out the cone of silence, cause Lucien and returning guest Michael McAndrew are discussing the 2008 Get Smart movie starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway! Plus: Bernie Sanders shares his thoughts on Detective Pikachu, and we play a fabulous 2008 edition of the Box Office Game.

Lucien is joined by friend and colleague Sally Dobie to talk 2008's Mark Waters-directed adaptation of The Spiderwick Chronicles, starring Freddie Highmore as twin brothers in a masterful Winklevossian performance. How does the film diverge from the books? Why can't Freddie do an American accent without smiling? Plus discussion of new releases Tolkien and Long Shot, and much more!

We've covered many DreamWorks animated classics on the podcast, but never their most iconic brand... this week we're diving into the inferior fourth Shrek movie with returning guest Hannah. What makes Rumpelstilskin such a compelling antagonist? Can Shrek ever recover from this existential crisis (for the character and franchise? And what are these movies without their trademark postmodern humour?

Lucien is joined by California Queen Hannah to discuss 2006's charming animated comedy Over The Hedge. Is this Bruce Willis's last great performance? What sort of animal could Christoph Waltz voice in the (damn) sequel? And is it enjoyable (or indeed possible) to have sex with a box turtle?

On April Fools Day, Lucien is joined by Cian and James to discuss Robert Rodriguez's classic multi-dimensional kids adventure Sharkboy and Lavagirl: its early starring role for Taylor Lautner, use of 3-D and George Lopez's online dating life. Bring your red and blue glasses, it's gonna be a wild one!

What if a baby.... was a boss?! That's the question posed by DreamWorks' 2017 animated masterpiece The Boss Baby, starring Alec Baldwin, a favourite of Lucien's which Rob returns to help him discuss on this episode. What can we expect from The Boss Baby 2? What's Lucien's take on the Netflix spin-off Back In Business? And is this baby REALLY the boss?

Lucien and and first-time guest Rob head to Spooky Island to discuss the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie, from its brilliant ensemble to the direct-to-DVD prequel that starred Hayley Kiyoko as Velma. 

Where's The Damn Sequel is back with a hot new look for 2019! In a special episode to kick off the year, Lucien is joined by Cian and Amy to discuss our predictions and personal picks for the 91st Academy Awards: how are there two great actors called Jim Cummings, and What About WIDOWS Tho?? 

Where's the damn sequel to the godawful 2005 CGI reboot of the beloved British cartoon, a film with three different titles and dub-jobs, and some of cinema's spookiest skeletons? Cian returns for a brief episode on The Magic Roundabout.
