"Video Killed the Radio Star"... I mean, judging by this attempt at visual podcasting, I don't think they've got anything to worry about. You're safe for now Greg James.

This week the boys talk about Disney's newest attempt at reviving the family institution that is The Muppet Show - penned by Seth Rogan and starring the usual array of fabric reprobates, the lads discuss whether the Muppets are back on form and here to stay, or are they past their prime?

Adam also reviews Disney's newest MCU show Wonderman. A surprising change of pace that I think we can agree is definitely needed.

Adam also got down to his Odeon to catch an early screening of Wasteman, the directorial debut by Cal McCau. Startring Tom Blyth and rising super star and podcast favourite, David Jonsson.

Well, if two is company, three certainly is a crowd. This week the lads were accompanied by Spark Sunderland's film aficionado and host of "Lights, Camera, Action!" Sam J. Clark.

Alfie and Sam review 'The Housemaid', Sydney Sweeney's sultry thriller. Trashy? Yes. Surprisingly engaging? Yes. Hollywood Schlock? Oh, absolutely.

Adam's *Keane* to talk about the footy drama starring Steve Coogan, 'Saipan'.

Adam and Alfie hand the reigns over to Sam for a review of 'Primate' - "the best creature feature... ever?!"

The press embargo has finally lifted for '100 Nights of Hero', so Adam gets into the complex plot and Emerald Fennel-esque cinematography.

As if that wasn't enough - Sam and Adam talk about Jason Statham's (queue impression by Mr Barlow) newest film, 'Shelter'. Does it offer something new, or is it the same old reliable Statham?

Dylan O'Brien & James Sweeney form a twisted friendship in 'Twinless' while Chris Pratt has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI judge in 'Mercy'. Those are the two films in discussion this week. Alfie also shares his thoughts on a new, steamy drama, 'Heated Rivalry' and the latest GOT spin-off, 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'.

Meanwhile, Eamonn Holmes and Gary Barlow are added to the A-List Star In Our Impressions Repertoire... Of course they are.

This week the lads discuss all the important things in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, such as Samson's massive appendage, does the skinning scene look fake and "do you think Ralph Fiennes wore a prosthetic". They go into deep SPOILERS on this one, so if you're yet to see the film, perhaps give it a watch before listening to this episode.

Adam also talks about Rental Family the slightly too sentimental new film staring Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser and the hilarious dark comedy from Park Chan-Wook, No Other Choice.

'Retirement Plan' is a genius 7-minute, animated short film, now Oscar-shortlisted! The director, John Kelly, was kind enough to speak to Adam & Alfie this week about the film, the anxiety attack that inspired it, how he got Domhnall Gleeson involved and the Irish knack for profound storytelling. @johnkelly_jnr @retirementplan_film

In the UK/Europe, you can watch 'Retirement Plan' on Disney+ and in the US/Canada, you can find the short on YouTube.

This week, the lads absolutely rave about Timmy and his latest Oscar-worthy performance in 'Marty Supreme' Josh Safdie knocks it out the park again, starring Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler the Creator.

The latest entry into James Cameron's Avatar franchise is here including an all new fiery villain that has moviegoers (and Adam) hot under the collar. But does 'Fire and Ash' do enough to keep viewers engaged and invested in this multibillion dollar story? Keep listening to find out...

Oh, it's also the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!! What better excuse is there to grab a mince pie and test your 2025 film knowledge with a quiz courtesy of professional question writer, Joshua Dodd. There's also fan favourite games including BIG QUESTION, Caine's *Christmas Candy Cane* Corner and a particularly daft edition of A-List Star In Our Impressions Repertoire.
