Episode Thirty-Three: Gravity Falls is Too Much, Man

In this episode, we manage to merge the happy-go-lucky world of Gravity Falls with the misery pit that is Bojack Horseman through two characters that share a voice actress: Mabel Pines and Sarah Lynn. Do the parallels between these two characters go further than just a common voice? Is it possible that perpetual ray-of-sunshine Mabel exists only in the imagination of a troubled young woman who wishes that was her life? Bring some tissues for this one, it gets pretty sad.

Episode Thirty-Two: Black Mirror! What if technology but even worse?

Is it possible to make the dark and gritty 'technology bad' series Black Mirror even more disturbing and depressing than it already is? Of course! In this episode we connect a few dots and we find a handy scapegoat to blame for all of humanity's misfortunes in the series; Capitalism! From rogue robot bees to super-prisons full of exercise bikes to what happens to your soul in San Junipero when the Google Drive housing it crashes and burns, we cover just about everything. Warning: You should probably be at least 30% dead inside for this episode.

Episode Thirty-One: Hannibal, Eating People Across Multiple Timelines

In the fourth episode that sees us discussing cannibalism for some reason, we try to get to the bottom of Hannibal Lecter's amazing skillset and the multiple lifetimes' worth of obscure talents he's managed to build up in a relatively short space of time. Is Hannibal capable of skipping through alternate realities, reinforcing his DNA as he goes? Why does he never manage an actual Lithuanian accent? Is there a timeline where he worked as a Mall Santa? Probably not, but we're going to discuss it anyway.

Fan theory: Legolas got very drunk/stoned before the meeting at Elrond’s and didn’t know what he was signing up for, which makes the events of the films his own personal version of Apocalypse Now.

Episode Thirty, Mini Episodes: Burning Chocolate, Sparking Joy and Getting Hammered

Episode Thirty sees us recovering from the fish-related trauma of last week by shooting wildly into the wind with some short, barely there theories. Theory One: Is there a reason beyond putting together the leftover scraps of chocolate that goes into creating Cadbury's flakes? Theory Two: Do all cleaning experts from Kim and Aggie to Marie Kondo to the brave souls on Hoarders have the same basic idea? Theory Three: Is there a chance that Legolas is a shambolic drunk by elf standards and didn't realize what he was getting into when he signed up for the mission in Lord of the Rings?

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Padak, Finding Nemo Delicious

This week's episode finds Sorika bravely confronting her fish phobia to talk about the link between happy colourful Pixar classic Finding Nemo and grim as hell sushi-bound Korean film Padak. Whereas one is a sweet ocean adventure where natural predators coexist peacefully beside their prey, the other is a gauntlet of captive fish suffering with the added bonus of fish cannibalism. What could they possibly have in common? You'd be surprised. Please light a candle for Sorika's sanity.

Episode Twenty-Eight: Winnie the Child Catcher

Are the shenanigans of Winnie the Pooh and his woodland friends as sweet and wholesome as they appear to be? Or is the entirety of Hundred Acre Wood just a very complex honey trap to tempt a small child into abandoning the human world for the realm of the fairies? 

Where are Christopher Robin's parents?

Episode Twenty-Seven: He’s not the Antichrist, He’s a Very Naughty Boy

This episode is a deep dive into one of Sinead's favourite childhood films, horror classic The Omen. Is Damien truly the literal spawn of Satan, or is he a relatively normal kid who just happens to have terrible adoptive parents? Is there a doomsday cult manipulating circumstances around this poor child because they took an ancient arcane text far too seriously? Just how hairy does a child have to be for you to miss a great big 666 birthmark on their scalp, and why does it look like it was drawn there in biro?

Episode Twenty-Six: Breaking Basketball in High School Musical

This week sees us connecting the dots between gritty meth drama bomb Breaking Bad and super-shiny tweenage bait High School Musical. Does High School Musical make more sense when you put it in the context of a burnout's fever dream? Does crystal meth make you have intense recollections of your former schoolmates bursting randomly into song? And why does this episode have more donkey noises and technical difficulties classical music than normal? We blame Disney.

Episode Twenty-Five: Natural Disasters and the Kaiju that cause them

Natural disasters are well-known for not being especially cinematic, so Hollywood has had to ignore scientific fact in order to create a spectacle. But what if in the world of disaster movies, from Dante's Peak to 2012 and beyond, kaiju were responsible for each and every eruption, tremor and landslide? Is Rodan secretly huffing pyroclastic flow for recreational purposes? Did Godzilla cause the Poseidon Adventure just by swimming under the boat? Is Ghidorah creating tornadoes full of sharks to get an exciting snack? The answer is, as usual, no. But we're going to speculate on it anyway!

Episode Twenty-Four: Mulan’s Rise to Ultimate Power

Episode Twenty-Four sees us musing over the inspirational tale of Fa Mulan (specifically the Disney version) and wondering if this is possibly the origin story of one of China's most formidable Empresses? Both Wu Zetian and Empress Cixi have mysterious pasts, is it possible one of them (or both of them) took up their father's armor and fought against one of China's many, many enemies? Prepare for a lot of history (and complaining about anachronisms) in this one!
