What's the Script?

by What's the Script?

Welcome to ‘What’s the Script?’ - a podcast where award-winning comedians Steve & Stu guess the plot of movies just from the poster. Each episode our hosts have a look at the poster for a film they definitely should've seen by now, but haven't. They then attempt to guess the plot, actors, tagline, dialogue and rotten tomatoes rating. Will there be arbitrary points given for correct guesses? You bet your sweet buns there will be. Tune in to find out who wins! You can get in touch at [email protected], and follow us on Twitter @stephenbucomedy @StuartMcP.
