It's the obligatory "Best of 2010" episode, with Simon, Ant, Rich and Tommy discussing their top 5 favourite films of the year (including some they've only seen for the first time in 2010). This is followed by Rant of the Year (yup, it's 3D again), then Disappointing Moment of 2010 (the new Marvel movie universe), and followed by WTF?! where we discuss the announcement of a new Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. We introduce a new feature, Ultimate Movie Smackdown, where two popular (or not) movie characters are pitted against each other and we decide who wins. This episode sees the Pred-Alien from AvP Requiem up against the "White Chocolate" Alien from Alien Resurrection. We close the show with a look forward to some of the films out in 2011. Happy New Year folks!

Topics covered this week: Films We've Watched are The Human Centipede, Jonah Hex and X-Men Origins: Wolverine; Latest Cinema and DVD sees us talking about Iron Man 2; Rant of the Week is about Bad Adaptations; Guilty Pleasure is Dude Where's My Car?; The Main Feature asks "When is a sequel a sequel too far?"; the Soundtrack discussion is for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; and we finish with WTF?! where we discuss the wooden dialogue in the Star Wars movies. Throughout, Simon tries to break the world record for most uses of the phrase "the most part" in a podcast, Ant tries to avoid having the last word at the end of every section, and Rich fights off nausea by eating crab-flavoured sticks.

It's all about Resident Evil in Episode 06 of The Movie Review. We take a look at the trailers for the first three films and decide if the actual movie was as good as the trailer implied; we review all four Resident Evil movies, Rant of the Week is a double offering this time, with Simon complaining about the wobbly, "dance instructor" zombies in Apocalypse, whilst Ant complains about the monsters; in the Main Feature we ask if George Romero's version of Resident Evil would have turned out better; Ant talks about the four soundtracks; The Most Disappointing Moment is Nemesis in Apocalypse; WTF?! is the Tyrant in Extinction; and we close the show with Six Degrees of Separation.

We've been away on holidays and stuff for a few weeks, but we bounce back with some new stings, a round-up of a couple of films we watched over the summer (The A-Team, Avatar Special Edition and Scottr Pilgrim VS The World); The Film We Don't Want To See is Grease; we look at trailers for Yogi Bear, Skyline, The Wicker Tree and Dinner For Schmucks; Rant of the Week is about Thunderbirds; our Cult Classic is Pulp Fiction; The Main Feature is: Are films longer than 2 hours worth watching?; the Disappointing Moment in Cinema is Quantum of Solace; the Soundtrack is Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest; and rounding the show off is a new feature called WTF?! - this week: Dick Van Dyke's accent in Mary Poppins. Truly diabolical.

Episode 04 of the Movie Review arrives, sadly ruined by a desk fan blowing on the microphone. Ant is away doing something terribly important, so it's up to Rich, Simon and Tommy to discuss the new trailers for Tron Legacy, Faster, Suckerpunch and Red; Films We Don't Want To Watch are the Sex and the City movies; the Cinema Review is Toy Story 3; the Rant of the Week is Sherlock Holmes by The Asylum; the Guilty Pleasure of the week is the Underworld Trilogy; the Cult Classic is Escape From New York; the Main Feature is a discussion of TV to Film adaptations; and we finish with Most Disappointing Moments in Cinema - this week it's the Star Wars prequels and revealing what The Force actually is. Bloody midi-chlorians.

This week it's Ocean's 12. Throughout, Rich goes into smut overload, Ant laughs a lot and does his best to be the last person to speak in every segment, Simon witters on about Transformers and Tommy keeps schtum.
