It's episode 208... this meeting of the Losers Club has officially begun.
It: Chapter 2 (2019) tells the story of the kids from the first movie. 27 years have passed and they've grown up, and they've forgotten about the events of the first film! But when they return to Derry, they're soon reminded and take on Pennywise again with renewed vigour.
We advise on the dangers of playing with your food; the merits of moving away from your home town; and not standing around admiring the pass.
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: You should cut that fucking mullet. It's been, like, thirty years, man.
Next week, it's time for some 'Netflix and cello' with The Perfection (2019)

It's episode 208...it's started. You better brace yourself.
The Wailing (2016) tells the story of Jong-goo, a police chief investigating a series of grisly murders in rural Korea. The murders are apparently linked to a mysterious disease afflicting the local population, and some believe the cause to be a strange Japanese man who has moved to the area. It's one of the most captivating films we've covered in some time.
We talk sins, shame, shamans and charlatans, wonder how to spot the Devil and whether you should take him on one-on-one, discuss bodily fluids and genre fluidity, and ask the burning question at the heart of The Wailing - what exactly is going on?
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Not everything that moves, breathes, and talks is alive.
Next week, it's time we head back to Derry in the year's biggest horror film: It: Chapter 2 (2019)

It's episode 207...I'm gonna start beating the shit out of you in the next five seconds, and you're gonna swallow a lot of blood for a fucking billfold!
The Grey (2011) sees Liam Neeson walking the tundra, cosh in hand, looking for the first wolf bastard he can get his hands on. You see, his friend was the victim of a plane crash, and she dealt with it in the most extraordinary way, but his immediate reaction was...did she know who it was? No. What colour were they? She said it was a wolf.
It's a packed show as we ask if the film is the victim of the most misguided marketing campaign ever, the importance of looking before leaping, give advice on the best time for a big scrap with a wolfpack, hear from a pilot as to the realism of the film's plane crash and a listener sends in some much-needed weeing advice.
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: I gotta a book! It's called "We're all fucked"! It's a best seller.
Next week, it's another listener suggestion with The Wailing (2016), available on Netflix in the UK.

It's episode 205...and I couldn't do anything. I tried to go back. She was already gone. She was already gone.
28 Weeks Later (2007) (or 196 Days Later (732555) if you're a traditionalist) is the follow-up to Danny Boyle's seminal London-set apocalyptic horror. But with Danny absent can the sequel live up to the first film's weighty reputation?
We discuss a post-pandemic city that's gone to the (Isle of) Dogs, debate Don's desperate decision-making, deride terrible guard detailing and comb through perhaps the worst possible route from Regent's Park to Wembley Stadium in any situation.
All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: This is the worst combat I've ever seen. Where's the combat?
Next week, Liam's out to find the first wolf bastard he can get his hands on in Joe Carnahan's The Grey (2011)
