HAPPY 100TH EPISODE EVERYONE! Thank you to all who've supported us over the last 2 and a bit years! We celebrate our centenary of episodes with a special ep where we each select 5 films and 3 TV shows to bring with us to a desert island with us (which is a completely original idea and not at all inspired by any long-running radio shows). Sam and J-L did this in August of 2020, and since we have swapped hosts and Sam has changed his opinions a lot, so we thought we'd revisit the format. Here's to the next 100!
