This week we are getting stuck into 2016s (or 2017s in some places) The Founder starring Michael Keaton. We get into the Ray Kroc biopic, McDonalds itself, how the film portrays it's lead, commanding sympathy, directorial tricks and much more. Indulge! Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by Kieran Fletcher

Any audio issues previously should now be resolved. THANK YOU for your patience and thank you for tuning in. Jack is THRILLED as Potter is finally sacked at Chelsea, Liverpool were outclassed by Man City, Rob Holding steps into Saliba's shoes again, Newcastle dusted Manchester United and Rodgers was shown the door at Leicester. We then reflect on AJs win over Franklin and look ahead to UFC 287. Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by both Tom Kennett and Jack Harper

I'm joined by my 'main dudes' Kieran Fletcher and Alex Jones as we look back at the 2008 monster-movie sensation, found-footage horror movie 'Cloverfield'. We discuss the JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves helmed masterpiece, the viral marketing strategy, the destruction of New York, the military influence, what we'd do in a situation like this, Godzilla comparisons, budget size, sequels and much more. Indulge! Hosted by Luke Byron.

It's a shorter episode than usual today. We discuss Conte's exit at Tottenham, reflecting on his brief tenure and where Spurs go from here. We then move onto England's two wins against Italy and Ukraine, and the growing importance of Bukayo Saka. Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by Jack Harper.

New Format. New Ideas. New Setup. We kick off Season 5 with 2010s Piranha 3D. We take a look back at the horror comedy remake, how it was marketed in the UK, the introduction of Kelly Brook, what makes a good-bad movie and much more. Indulge! Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by Kieran Fletcher

It's a busy episode (that may seem a bit off as Jack left midway, hopefully not too confusing). Spurs weren't very thoughtful and sacked Conte as soon as we'd finished recording. Alongside that though, we got into Mitrovic's red card against United, the Money Mase to Liverpool rumours, Southgate's latest awful England squad, UFC286 and more. Indulge! Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by Tom Kennett and Jack Harper

What a weekend. Liverpool played "alright" as they smashed seven past United and Salah put Lisandro in a blender. Arsenal took 97 minutes to find a way past Bournemouth but a late Reiss Nelson winner got the job done. We don't cover much this week, but we have a great time getting into the two games that we did. Indulge! Hosted by Luke Byron and joined by Tom Kennett

It's our second time doing Training Day but Kieran comes in today to give us some fresh takes.
