This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt dust off the cinematic time machine and dive into their Top 5 Films That Have Dated Badly — an episode packed with eyebrow‑raising moments, questionable choices, and scenes that make you say, “Wow… we really let that happen.”
The brothers rummage through films that haven’t aged like fine wine — more like milk left out during a heatwave. Dom rewinds through outdated tropes with forensic precision, Jeremy fast‑forwards past the bits that make him cringe, and Matt pauses every few minutes to laugh at fashion crimes, clunky CGI, and dialogue that absolutely belongs in a museum.
Expect pun‑filled chaos as they age‑check iconic classics, decompose dodgy jokes, dust off forgotten trends, and occasionally resurrect debates about whether a film is “retro charming” or “retro alarming.” From questionable haircuts to tech that looks like it was built by a confused toaster, it’s a comedic celebration of movies that remind us the past is… well, the past.
A lively, playful, nostalgia‑tinged episode that proves even films that have aged terribly can still spark brilliantly funny conversations.

Matthew cranks the dial all the way up to eleven as he returns to the host’s chair for This Quiz Spinal Tap, a gloriously chaotic instalment of the biweekly trivia showdown. With the quiz still in its early days and Dom and Jeremy locked in an evenly fought battle, the stage is set for a film‑loving face‑off that’s loud, loose, and just the right amount of ridiculous — very much in the spirit of the cult classic itself.
Dom strides in with full rock‑star confidence, ready to amp up his trivia game and avoid any moments where his brain goes mysteriously silent mid‑solo. Jeremy arrives hoping not to blow a fuse this time, determined to keep his answers sharp, his panic levels low, and his metaphoric amps from catching fire. Meanwhile, Matthew keeps the energy playful and the questions punchy, guiding the brothers through rounds that feel part mockumentary, part meltdown, and entirely entertaining.
Expect film‑loving fun, sibling riffs, and quiz chaos that absolutely goes to eleven.
A witty, upbeat, rock‑infused episode that proves in the world of film trivia… sometimes the volume isn’t the only thing that gets turned up.

WE'RE BACK BABY...
This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt turn the volume way up as they dive into their Top 5 Films That Feature the Best Soundtrack — an episode bursting with iconic needle‑drops, legendary scores, and musical moments so good they practically deserve their own encore.
The brothers riff through cinema’s greatest hits: the soundtracks that shaped scenes, defined characters, and made audiences say “I need that album immediately.” Dom brings the deep‑cut energy, happily dropping the beat on his favourites. Jeremy turns the dial to full nostalgia, championing the tracks that still live rent‑free in his head. Matt, meanwhile, cranks the volume with chaotic enthusiasm, insisting that every film is improved by at least one dramatic slow‑motion walk set to a banger.
Expect pun‑filled musical mayhem as they hit all the right notes, tune into iconic movie moments, strike a chord with each other’s picks, and occasionally go off‑key in the most entertaining way possible. From blockbuster playlists to unforgettable orchestral scores, it’s a comedic, film‑loving celebration of the movies that sound just as good as they look.
A lively, upbeat, soundtrack‑soaked episode that proves sometimes the music is the moment.

Matthew returns as the fearless quizmaster for Quizmare on Elm Street, guiding Dom and Jeremy into a fresh round of film‑trivia terror where every question has claws and every wrong answer lurks in the shadows. It’s early days in this new phase of quizzing, and the battle is evenly matched — which means neither brother can afford to drift off, because that’s exactly when the quiz strikes.
Dom steps in wide awake and ready, hoping his sharp instincts keep him from falling into any trivia traps. Jeremy arrives determined to avoid a nightmare‑level slip‑up, clinging to the hope that this episode won’t leave him screaming into the metaphorical pillow. Meanwhile, Matthew keeps the tension fun and the atmosphere playful, delivering questions with just enough horror‑flavoured flair to keep everyone on edge.
Expect film‑loving chaos, spooky surprises, and sibling antics that are far more entertaining than frightening.
A witty, energetic, horror‑tinged episode that proves even in the world of film trivia… whatever you do, don’t fall asleep.

This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt take a deep breath, steady their emotions, and bravely step into their Top 5 Films That Feature the Most Upsetting Death Scene — an episode packed with heartbreak, shock, and more emotional damage than a misplaced spoiler.
The brothers dig into the moments that made audiences gasp, sob, or dramatically whisper “No… NO… they can’t!” at the screen. Dom tries to bury the competition with his picks, Jeremy falls apart over scenes that still haunt him, and Matt kills it with his own choices — even if some of them leave everyone else emotionally slain.
Expect pun‑heavy chaos as they lay to rest the most unforgettable movie moments, dig up old cinematic traumas, stab at each other’s opinions, and occasionally resurrect debates that probably should’ve stayed dead. From blockbuster heartbreaks to iconic tear‑jerkers, it’s a comedic, cathartic wander through cinema’s most devastating departures.
A fun, lively, and darkly playful episode that proves even the saddest movie moments can spark the best conversations — once you’ve recovered, of course.

A new era of quizzing descends from on high as Matthew, freshly anointed quizmaster, presides over Quiz Almighty — an episode where film trivia meets full celestial comedy energy. With divine authority (and absolutely no smiting… yet), he guides Dom and Jeremy through a heavenly gauntlet of movie questions that promise miracles, mishaps, and maybe even a revelation or two.
Dom enters glowing with early triumph, already holding a 1–0 lead like it’s been granted by the quiz gods themselves. Jeremy, meanwhile, is hoping for a little divine intervention — ideally the kind that helps him avoid thunderbolt‑level blunders and lifts him toward a much‑needed win.
Matthew keeps the tone playful and omnipotently cheeky, steering the brothers through rounds that feel part Bruce, part Evan, and entirely film‑loving fun. Expect heavenly humour, sibling chaos, and the kind of trivia twists that make this biweekly showdown worth tuning into.
A witty, warm, and delightfully almighty episode that proves in the world of film trivia… sometimes you’re blessed, sometimes you’re tested, and sometimes you just have to laugh your way through the clouds.

This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt lock, load, swing, zap, slice, and blast their way through their Top 5 Films That Feature the Best Weapon — an episode packed with more cinematic firepower than an action hero’s glove compartment.
The brothers dive into the iconic arsenal of movie history: the legendary gadgets, the unforgettable blades, the over‑the‑top blasters, and the weapons so wildly impractical they loop back around to being brilliant. Dom brings the precision of a well‑aimed movie arsenal, Jeremy fires off bold opinions like he’s dual‑wielding confidence, and Matt swings into the conversation with the enthusiasm of someone who definitely shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharp.
Expect pun‑heavy chaos as they hammer home their favourites, shoot down each other’s picks, cut through the nonsense, and occasionally explode into laughter over weapons that probably shouldn’t exist outside a prop cupboard. From blockbuster classics to crowd‑pleasing favourites, it’s a playful, comedic deep‑dive into the tools that make movie moments unforgettable.
A fun, energetic, weapon‑wielding episode that proves sometimes the star of the film isn’t the hero — it’s whatever they’re holding.

The rug may not tie the room together this time, but Matthew certainly ties the episode together as he steps into his brand‑new role as quizmaster for The Quiz Lebowski. With a fresh era of quizzing underway, Dom and Jeremy stride into the trivia lanes like two Dudes hoping the pins fall kindly — though whether they roll strikes or gutter balls is anyone’s guess.
Matthew brings his own brand of calm, collected authority to the host’s chair, channelling just enough Big Lebowski energy to keep things loose while still keeping the rules sacred (unlike certain league bowlers). Dom arrives ready to prove he’s not out of his element, while Jeremy embraces the chaos of a clean slate, hoping this new phase won’t leave him sprawled on the metaphorical rug wondering what just happened.
Expect film‑loving fun, playful jabs, and a quiz that abides — even if the contestants don’t always.
A witty, warm, and wonderfully offbeat episode that invites movie fans to settle in, sip something soothing, and enjoy the ride.
