Not that anybody asked but this week we laced up the boots and ignored the offside rule because we're figuring out our Top 3 Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football. It's a solo outing this week, and with the World Cup kicking off today, it felt like the right moment to ask: which football films actually work if you couldn't care less about the beautiful game? Whether it's the underdog story, the slow-motion goal, or the half-time team talk that somehow makes you cry anyway, we're finding the films that transcend the sport entirely. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a surprising amount of hobbits, an inability to spell Uruguay and Not Tim Roth.

Not that anybody asked but this week we pulled down the blinds and lit a cigarette we didn't even want because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movie Characters We Would Noir. Inspired by the release of Spider-Noir, we're asking which characters deserve to be drenched in shadows, saddled with a dark past and given a voiceover nobody asked them to do. Which beloved heroes would crumble beautifully under the weight of a corrupted city? Which characters would thrive in a world where nothing is simple and everyone has an angle? And which characters would it be just plain funny to see brood? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect fly induced technical issues, being unable to say the episode title and a slug tug.

Not that anybody asked but this week we squeezed into costume and hovered hopefully in the background because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies We Wish We Were An Extra In. And with Ian having recently lived the dream as a real life extra, we're asking the truly important question: which cinematic worlds would be worth standing around in for twelve hours for three seconds of screen time? Would you rather be a reveller in a galaxy far, far away, a pedestrian dodging kaiju in downtown Tokyo, or a partygoer in the most glamorous era Hollywood ever put on screen? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect being riverside on Riverside, middle class picklebacks and the bee who gets blamed for the honey going missing.
