Here we are again, at the finale of another season of Mockbusters!
Although the result may already be written in ink, there's still plenty of drama at the end of it all, as Jack & Matt take on Disaster Movies.
Joining us for this apocalyptic ending is journalist, movie guru and host on Clash of the Titles podcast with Alex Zane and Vicky Crompton - it's Chris Tilly!
We chat to Chris about his favourite ever movie match ups on Clash of the Titles, his thoughts on Disaster Movies and Chris poses us the ultimate question: Is there a dog in danger in your movies?
So head down into the Mockbusters bunker ready to weather the storm for one last time.
An ocean of optimism, a barrage of Butlers and Jack is awarded his custom made victory song under a burning sky.

Because we knew that you just couldn't get enough of internet chatrooms, grotty erotica and more - we thought we'd give you some bonus chat from last episode.
We didn't want to cut anything because Poppy was a delight to talk to, but this is some extended conversation featuring Hypnotist chatrooms, which came first - the podcast or the chatrooms and what Poppy would do if she had Bernard's Watch.
Enjoy!

Oooooh yeah, let's turn the lights down and get hot and heavy with our steamiest episode yet.
In Episode 8, we strip things down to the skin and get up close and personal with the world of Erotic Fiction.
And who better to help us sail through the smut, than the Queen of Internet chatrooms - the fantastic Poppy Hillstead!
We get close ups on Poppy Hillstead Has Entered The Chat, her history with the grotty online world and she's also tasked with guessing which our titles this week are made up by the plot device and which are REAL erotic fiction titles.
So climb into bed with Mockbusters - and prepare yourself for the sweaty peaks of Shakespearean shagging, Les Dennis' bare arse, a Jonas Brothers soundtrack and some good old self lovin'.

Mockbusters comes of age this week as we wade through the emotional depths and hormonal highs of Teen Drama.
Presiding over all this angst, from across the pond we're joined by actor, playwright and poet - the multitalented Nicole Varona! We chat with Nikki about her debut play Bit Of Sunshine, her favourite teen flicks and how poetry is making a comeback in the internet age.
Just like a teenage mood, things get emotional in more ways than one with this week's trailers. One of the boys makes a heartfelt offering, and the other ruthlessly breaks them in an incredibly contentious episode.
Turn up your iPod Classic to hear an unexpected type of teenager, Michael Gambon's star casting, witness protection and loads and loads of Virgins.
Massive thanks to Nicole for joining us, you can find her work and Bit of Sunshine over at https://www.nicolezweiback.com/acting and you can find Nicole on the socials at @nicolevaronaz for her personal and @izzapoetry for her poems on Instagram.

On the fifth episode of Season 2, the dark underbelly of Mockbusters is revealed as we delve into the grimy streets of Investigative Drama/True Crime.
And who better to lead us through the dark alleys than the masterminds behind the smash hit investigative podcasts Finding Drago & Finding Desperado - it's Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous!
Cam & Alexei take time out of their busy schedule searching for elusive author Todd Noy and tracking down world record holder Lord Sidney Ling, to pass judgement on two equally compelling cases - our trailers!
We catch up with the boys about what really goes into creating a break out hit, spending time on online forums and all four of us get bogged down in some dubious corporate sponsorship.
So follow the trail of evidence, with clues along the way including a directorial mash up, a lethal brass instrument and Pez dispensing the true justice.
Massive thanks to Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous for joining us this week, do not forget to check out their excellent work on Finding Drago & Finding Desperado on your podcast platforms or here:

And joining them this week on their audio safari, it's comedian and host of BBC Sounds podcast 'But...Where Are You Really From?' - it's the delightful Nimisha Odedra!
We chat to Nim about her brand new puppy, cultural identity and accidentally translating the word satsuma.
So as we brace ourselves for this new ecosystem, prepare yourself for: Danny Dyer's brand new career move, animals as you've never heard them before and Jack's lack of research leaving him to fend for himself in the wilderness.

Let's not drop the ball heading in to Episode 2, by tackling the explosive genre of Sports Drama!
From Moneyball to Million Dollar Baby, from Rocky to Real Steel - the genre of sports drama has long been iconic in the world of film, and the boys are sure to uphold that standard with their offerings.
Our guest on this episode is Global Executive News Editor at IGN, Podcast host at Regular Features, IGN UK Podcast & many more and all round lovely chap - Mr Joe Skrebels!
We talk with Joe about his favourite sports films, the madness that is Regular Features and Joe marvels at a flawless freestyle rap from a sporting legend.
In a Decathlon of nonsense we see blinded cinema audiences, montage music, head slapping, mechanical animals and the desecration of the sacred city of Chester - but who will take home the title of Mockbuster?

We're back baby!
Mockbusters returns with a brand new season, new guests and a whole new world of potential trailers.
Jack & Matt are back to kick off the new season with the timeless genre of Period Drama, and they're joined by an incredibly exciting guest. He holds the title of 'Host of the First Ever Podcast Jack Listened To' - it's the incredible Mr Olly Mann!
Host of such groundbreaking podcasts as Answer Me This!, The Modern Mann, The Week Unwrapped, The Media Podcast, Four Thought & The Guardian's Tech Weekly, Olly is an expert of the medium as well as being a columnist, radio presenter and self confessed lover of musical theatre.
We talk to Olly about what's been scratching the theatre itch for him over lockdown and how the world of podcasts has changed since Answer Me This! hit the scene back in 2007.
Afterwards, it all descends into a bit of a bloody mess as we delve into the world of Period Drama, and the boys producer requests complicate things slightly.
From Historical inaccuracies, to androids, to the origins of a modern sanitary product, who will be awarded the title of first Mockbuster of Season 2?
Many thanks to Olly Mann for joining us this episode. You can find all of Olly's work on his website www.ollymann.com and on social media at @ollymann - we highly recommend you do so!

It's here. The chilling moment of reckoning. After Episode 10 brought things level, the score will be settled in this tiebreaker Halloween special.
This week, the boys will be picking from within the Halloween genre and things get terrifyingly tense as the overall winner is decided.
Our guest judge this week is the wickedly talented Sara Lynam. Sara has real spooky pedigree as one of the creatives behind Horror theatre group Uncanny Collective.
Join us as we descend through the realms of demons, monstrous creatures and the biggest horror of them all: borderline plagiarism.
You can find Sara at @SaraLynam and Uncanny Collective at @UncannyColl on all social media, or on their website - https://uncannycollective.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR1gD3nLym374M7zNVM2Vesdn7EntyUGcdxLrox7STjKxtkZGWw6bLKl_gs

In the final episode of Mockbusters Season 1, the films may be in Black & White but the final result certainly isn't, as the boys venture into the smoky backstreets of Film Noir.
In a Mockbusters first, we are joined this week by our first returning judge, the timelessly charming Tiffany Clare!
With some chaotic producer behaviour, our first ever real life sequel and more pigs than you can shake a stick at, this is sure to be the ointment to your autumn blues (or should that be oinkment?).
Who will Tiffany choose as this week's Mockbuster? Will the final result be taken to an agonising draw? Will someone take home the inaugural Season 1 trophy?
IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT.Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Mockbusters, the boys are tied at 4-4 and embark on a fantastic voyage into the world of Super Heroes.

Bird violence, Westerns & greasy naked men; just a few of Stephanie McGuinness's favourite things.
This week, the boys have probably their hardest combination of titles and genre to date.
As they take a foray into the world of the Wild West, things take a turn for the dirtier and greasier as an unexpected result leaves one of our hosts irate.

Matt finds himself furious with the demands of his Executive Producer, and Jack gets a little too close for comfort with his microphone.

So whose trailer will be locked up behind bars, and whose trailer will pull off the heist of the century and escape with the title of... Mockbuster.
