Their hearts heavy with sadness the team of Mike and Mark head to the podcast studio knowing that their so called mate Steve went on holidays without them! Greeted by guest host Shaun perked them right up however and produced another episode full of recommendations on what tv to watch and which movies matter! Being dissected this week are the films Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance (which leads to a spirited discussion of the merits of Nicholas Cage). On the smaller screen we review Longmire, Continuum and a strangely divisive discussion on Republic of Doyle. All the usual sections appear this week including the now inappropriately named "Stuff with Steve"
It's 36 gears and counting as Fast 6 hits our screens this week. Against all odds, Cloud Atlas gets firstly watched, and secondly liked by some of the team. Steve gets really interested in beetles and some guy that wasn't as good as Darwin in Bill Bailey's Jungle Hero. Lastly we take a look at L.A. Complex, MTV's latest offering to challenge what has been the predominant role of hermeneutics as a barrier to authentic engagement with post-structuralist thought in the visual media.
In TV this week we start with Endeavour, the bestest prequel to what Mark described as the bestest detective series of all time, Inspector Morse. More cop fare in The Fall, a BBC production about Belfast alien-psychologist hybrids investigated by a pyjama clad Scully, bent on finding the truth. In movies, we start with The Place Beyond The Pines and much humming and hawwing ensues, whereupon Steve ruins Mike's day with waaaay better did-you-knows. Steve hasn't been seen since the making of this episode, so if anyone has any information on his current whereabouts please inform his wife who is very worried; the rest of us couldn't give a shit so don't bother contacting us. We wrap up with Star Trek-Into Darkness, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Stewie Griffin, all grown up and ready to play with the big boys.

There are foul deeds afoot in the The Bletchley Circle as the XWomen track down a post-war London serial killer. The Netflix production, Hemlock Grove, keeps Shaun busy for eight minutes. Colin Farrell stars as Bruce Willis in Dead Man Down and is berated for his wasteful ways. Mike dodges a bullet with A Late Quartet, a suspenseful action adventure rom-com horror sure to leave you wanting more.
Mark finally twigs who is the bitch in the house. Steve vigourously applies both palms to face after Mike's dog 'joke'. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Shaun begins to understand. The podcast will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. We also watched some stuff. Iron Man 3 had to be done. Confusion reigns as we encounter a situation where 9 does not equal 9. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone gets us humming and hawing over the Carey-Carell throwdown. Sarah Chalke divides the pack in How To Live With Your Parents, and we are still trying to work out how 8 Out of 10 Cats Do Countdown made it on to The List.
