Mortal Engines & Bob the Builder

10 years ago my wife and I got married in a small, intimate ceremony at a local hotel and today we celebrated a decade married by packing the kids off to school and going to play crazy golf, so yeah, that's a realistic portrayal of what marriage looks like for the uninitiated. I  bring this up because it's late and I'm drunk and I don't have an interesting, funny or relevant way to introduce this weeks Top 5, which was the Top 5 Box Office Bombs. Not the explosive kind, more the kind that lose hideous amounts of money and ruin reputations and careers for ever. If you haven't stayed abreast of the net losses of movies over the years - and let's face it if you haven't you're a moron - you might find some of the movies we mention a surprise.This weeks movie was Christian Rivers's 2018 MORTAL ENGINES, a film I was completely  unaware existed until just a couple of weeks ago. Based upon the YA novel of the same name by Phillip Reeve and produced by the visionary Peter Jackson, Hera Hilmar plays the vengeful Hester Shaw on the trail of Hugo Weaving's Thaddeus Valentine, who has a plan to eradicate so called static cities in pursuit of Municipal Darwinism. An extraordinary visual treat with more than a few nods and winks to cultural juggernauts like Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings, not all of the dads were enamored with this box office flop so proceed with caution.We finish up this weeks show with a look back at BOB THE BUILDER in a specially selected episode titled "Wallpaper Wendy". Expect many jokes about wallpaper paste and bukakke parties but also surprisingly raw and honest emotional confessions of DIY anxiety and ineptitude. This particular episode was selected on the grounds of it's huge controversy; Bob apparently raping and killing several members of his local community. No, I jest of course but there was some genuine issues with this episode with allegations of swearing directed at the tax dodging building contractor. We love to hear from our listeners!
