'Tis the season for Zack Snyder, fa la la la la la, la laaa laaa laaa---ahem, yeah, given Snyder is all in vogue, we thought we might keep the focus on the big man as Chris Wallace (hosting for the first time) and Wikishuffle compadre Phil Sharman are joined by Pop Culture Parlour's Stacey Taylor.They look at WATCHMEN, Snyder's divisive adaptation of Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons's unfilmable graphic novel, square the focus on Alan Moore movies in general, before looking also at EVIL DEAD 2 - though that's not the one all of them have watched.Oh and this one has, without doubt, the most fun & protracted quiz Pick a Flick! has ever done.

Calling all you sh*t faced co*kmasters out there! It's our unofficial 90's comedy special in which Tony Black returns, joined by The Bottle Episode's incorrigible Matt Latham, to talk comedy movies very close to their 90's kid hearts.Firstly, nominated by James Morton, SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT, which Tony & Latham must constantly resist the urge to break out into a quote-off about, or indeed sing its brace of tunes.Amidst this, they take suggestions from the floor about the best of 90's comedy - will they ever agree on WAYNE'S WORLD? And can Latham be convinced to give CLERKS another try?Lastly, as nominated by Latham himself, they get into one of his four favourite films, CAN'T HARDLY WAIT. Tony couldn't hardly wait to talk about this with him, and he can't hardly wait to hear what you think. I bet you can't hardly wait either, can you Latham?Ahem. Anyway. Hope you enjoy dudes.

If you've ever listened to Black Hole Cinema, you'll know of the hate reserved for Woody Allen by host Emma Platt, and her guests Chris Haigh & from our friends Cinematronix, Chris Byrne. Now, Pick a Flick! brings you the full force of their anti-Woody sentiment.Thanks to the nomination of BLUE JASMINE, by The Comic Roast, Emma and her favourite Chris' begin their rampage over Woody as they decide whether his recent Oscar-baiter is brilliant or pretentious - three guesses what they decide.After a sojourn into exploring Woody's career, where Emma gets to segue into her favourite Frank Sinatra story (spoiler: it involves pain to Woody), thanks to Pick a Flick! creator Tony Black, they have to look at MANHATTAN. Why? Because Emma despises it. Well, I have to get my fun somehow, right?Finally, QUESTION TIME is inevitably Woody-centric as the Chris' face off against each other. Who will be triumphant? And which one of these three will end up arrested for libel first? Tune in and find out!(DISCLAIMER:...

The lines are drawn.Lastly, it's QUESTION TIME for Claire as she chooses 1998 rom-com You've Got Mail for her quiz - but it turns out one of the other podcasters this week is also...
