38. The Fugitive
We've unshackled our chains, shaved our beards off and applied vast quantities of Grecian 2000 to tackle the 1993 action movie adaptation of THE FUGITIVE.

The game's afoot, lemon entry, etc. It's time to see where it all began for little Sherlock and his chum Watson in the 1985 romp, YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES. Does it go down in a Silver Blaze of glory, or is it a big load of Reichenbach Falls? Why not find out for yourselves, listeners. Support the show

33. Class
Rob has taken us back to 1983, where we visit the raunchy goings-on of Andrew McCarthy and Jacqueline Bissett in CLASS. Is it an 80's Graduate or a rehash of Animal House? Can't say. But there's a very young John Cusack hanging about, and that bloke who says "Darn it" in Speed. Our theme music is kindly provided by The Sonic Jewels. Support the show

Summer's here and the time is right for getting a bouncy ball and trying to throw it into a little hoop with a net on it. We're heading back to 1992 to take a look at the Snipes/Harrelson/Perez b-ball hit WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP. Will it be a [insert basketball phrase], or just a load of [basketball term goes here]?

28. Spider-Man (1977 TV Pilot)
As a tribute to the late Stan Lee, we've gone back to the first live-action adaptation of his work. If you don't include a cheap cameo in a weird kids' TV show. In the feature length pilot of what became THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, we really do see Peter Parker do whatever a spider can. But only if the spider in question wore massive collars on its shirt, live in a grotty attic, and keep trying to borrow $46 from everyone. Support the show
