It's time to delve deep into the fictional retelling of a real love story, the story of William and Agnes Shakespeare, depicted in Chloe Zhao's new film: 'Hamnet'. We have our Horrible Histories heads on and separate the fact from the fiction, whilst highlighting some amazing pieces of acting and detailing why this is our favourite Chloé Zhao film to date. We create a Top 5 of Golden Globe best Drama winners, as well as discussing our special skills and accents - is Shakespearean on the list? Ultimately, we decide whether Hamnet deserves a place on our DVD shelf. Enjoy the episode!

Turns out they've not spelt Hamlet wrong, their son just had the same name with a different letter. Imagine If our parents wrote a play about either of us, and just changed a letter to separate it. There'd be no question that a play called Elnis or Gwinym was likely about one of us.

This week we kick off the year with an episode talking about Timothee Chalamet's newest film: 'Marty Supreme'. We talkabout our favourite Chalamet performances, creating a Top 5 list of his films, as well as delving into the films highs, discussing plot moments and ultimately deciding whether it deserves the first spot on our 2026 shelf.

Each episode we discuss a new film, and decide if we want it to go on our DVD shelf. The shelf consists of just 10 spots, so if it gets full, something has to go to make room. This episode marks the start of a new shelf for 2026. Enjoy!

There's a scene in this film where someone covers themselves in honey (we talkabout it in the episode), and honestly there's not many people we'd cover ourselves in honey for. I imagine you'd be scrubbing for weeks to remove that; like when you get a bit of tree sap on your finger, but it's all over you. Sticky.
