Episode description
This week we watched pi.
Sadly there were no tigers, boats or Dev Patel in this movie.
Nope, this film was an avant garde, mood piece, seething with questioning the meaning of truth and its place in the lives of humans and the universe.
In other words pretentious.
However, none Darren Aronofsky's nonsense matters. What you should be listening for is Ben's rendition of "Euclid's people" a song of his own creation sung to the tune of "Common people" by pulp.
You've got to hear it to believe it.
