A shame people don't think the same of this podcast.Other highlights include:-Sean can't believe they are going to remake the film.

Don't worry Brenda picks up the mantle and sets out the plot brilliantly. "I've had enough of the Eighties, do the Seventies or the Sixties!"Random Film Recommendations:-Buried (2010) starring Ryan Reynolds.-The China Syndrome (1979), starring Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas.Three-point Plug your podcast: ADD LINK TO HORRIFYING HISTORYIs there a red herring in this section?
