Shownotes

Our presenters Matthew, Adam, Ben and Billy indulge in some guilty pleasures this week looking at some questionable but loved films such as Popeye (1980), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), The Lego Ninjago Movie (2027), North Sea Hijack (1980) and Venom (1981).

A recurring theme in the discussion is also the behind the scenes guilty pleasures of the actors/directors during film production. Tune in to find out more…

Our presenters are Matthew, Adam, Ben and Billy. The episode was engineered by Rhys Hunter and edited by Emily Main.
