This week we decided to return to the hallowed ground that is guilty pleasures. On this show we air some of that dirty laundry that hasn't seen light of day without needing a doctor who level distraction to escape the scene seconds later. We also discover that kids horror has it best, Adam Sandler isn't all that bad and if you are going to be bad then you should at least commit.

Throughout the entertainment industries there are certain periods of history that reign supreme = World War 1 and 2, the Victorian era, Ancient Rome and Greece, Medieval Europe/Japan/China, etc. But those only cover a small portion of human history which suggests that nothing interesting happened the rest of the time.

It's Bonfire Night, and so we remember the 5th of November with a show about rebellion - but since we're a pretty aimless bunch we're not really sure what we're actually fighting for, or even who the enemy is. This may just end up with us disagreeing and ridiculing each other so nothing constructive ever gets done. Just like Parliament.
