We didn’t want to leave you all searching for a missing pig before the new season begins on March 2nd. Which is why we’re releasing part two of our three-part best-of 2025 clips shows. For cinephiles who love a good disaster, we’re diving back into our “Flops” season – a true comedy of errors where we learned that even Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro aren’t immune to box-office bombing.

Whether you’re a regular cinemagoer or a film observation nerd who lives for a good spreadsheet, this episode has a Thing or two for everyone. We’re dissecting the mastery of John Carpenter, the “freakiness” of Clive Barker and why Kurt Russell is correct when he states he is “tired of everyone’s shit”.

What to expect from the show:

• We discuss why John Carpenter’s The Thing is the second-best thing from 1982.
• Questioning the costumes worn by Dolph Lundgren whilst playing He-Man.
• Unpacking the scientific logic of Master of the Universe and breaking down the meaning of a “Chromon”
• Tales of creative accounting leading to the bankrupting of production companies.
• A look at the “Clive Barker freakiness” and the three different versions of Nightbreed.
• We debate if anyone in the world actually prefers Jim Davidson to a disembodied AI voice.

We are back March 2nd for season 14! This time the theme is "Identity"
