Ep67...have a memorable birthday scene

This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt are blowing up balloons, lighting the candles, and slicing into their Top 5 Films That Have a Memorable Birthday Scene. It’s a full‑on cinematic celebration as the brothers unwrap the moments where birthdays become iconic — whether they’re joyful, disastrous, chaotic, or unexpectedly heartfelt.

They dive into popular films where the birthday beats stick with you: the parties that go off the rails, the surprises that don’t stay surprising, and the scenes that turn a simple cake‑and‑candles moment into pure movie magic. Dom brings the party‑planning precision, Jeremy arrives ready for presents (preferably film‑related), and Matt keeps the energy high like someone who’s already had too much cake.

A playful, upbeat, and party‑themed episode that proves birthdays in films aren’t just milestones — they’re unforgettable moments worth celebrating.

T5FT Extra 66 - How to Lose a Quiz in 10 Days

Dom returns as quizmaster extraordinaire for How to Lose a Quiz in 10 Days, an episode where the drama, the tension, and the questionable tactics feel straight out of a chaotic rom‑com — just with more film trivia and fewer yellow dresses.

Matthew strolls in like the effortlessly charming frontrunner, stacking up wins with the kind of confidence that would make even a certain smooth‑talking advertising exec proud. Jeremy, meanwhile, is clinging to his single victory like it’s a love fern, desperately trying not to sabotage himself with another round of wild guesses and last‑minute panic.

Dom presides over the madness with a grin, guiding the brothers through rounds that twist, turn, and occasionally implode in spectacular fashion. There’s strategy, there’s sabotage, there’s sibling rivalry… and somewhere in the middle of it all, there’s a quiz that absolutely refuses to be lost quietly.

A fun, witty, film‑loving showdown that proves you can lose a quiz in many ways — but winning it? That’s a whole different story.

Ep66... are the most confusing

This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt attempt to navigate the cinematic maze that is their Top 5 Films That Are the Most Confusing — although whether the episode itself ends up making sense is… well, open to interpretation. Much like the films they’re discussing, things start clearly enough before slowly twisting into something that feels strangely logical and completely baffling at the same time.

The brothers dive into those wonderfully mind‑melting movies — the ones where you think you’ve cracked the plot, only to realise you’re three layers deep in a dream, or possibly watching a flashback inside a flash‑forward that might actually be a metaphor. Dom tries to keep the conversation grounded, Jeremy insists he definitely understood that one scene (even if no one else did), and Matt confidently explains a plot point that may or may not exist.

By the end, you’ll feel entertained, intrigued, and only mildly unsure about what just happened — exactly the spirit of a great confusing film.

A fun, twisty, delightfully perplexing episode celebrating the movies that leave you thinking long after the credits roll… or before they start, depending on how you interpret time.

This week, Dom, Jeremy, and Matt dive into the brilliantly contained world of their Top 5 Films That Are Mostly or Entirely Shot in One Place. It’s a celebration of movies that prove you don’t need globe‑trotting set pieces to keep audiences hooked — just a great idea, a tight space, and characters who can carry the tension, the comedy, or the chaos.

The brothers dig into popular favourites that made the most of their limited locations: thrillers that trap you in a single room, comedies that unfold in one unforgettable setting, and big‑name films that turn confinement into pure cinematic momentum. Dom brings the filmmaking insights, Jeremy champions the crowd‑pleasers, and Matt keeps the energy high as they compare how these stories squeeze maximum impact out of minimal space.

A fun, fast, and engaging episode celebrating the films that prove sometimes staying in one place is exactly where the magic happens.
