Episode 11 - Ghostbusters
Charlie and George strap on their unlicensed nuclear proton packs and go busting some ghosts with a Retro Ramble on the cult comedy classic, Ghostbusters! And what better way to celebrate Halloween than to sit back and enjoy this family-friendly classic full of scares, swears, pop songs and smoking...so much smoking. From the moments that terrified them growing up, to the genius improv of Bill Murray and Rick Moranis, not to mention some Supernaturally Sexy Sigourney Weaver; Casting makes us feel good!

Episode 10 - Terminator 2 (1991)
Charlie and George travel back in time (but not naked, that'd be weird) to 1991 for the action sci-fi extravaganza that is T2! Whilst discussing the genius of James Cameron's original vision and why it remains one of the best sequels ever made, they also take a closer look at Robert Patrick's privates and remember a time when tie-dye t-shirts, mullets and Axel Rose were all considered acceptable.
