Hello again, we’re back with another episode of geeky goodness, and surprises galore. No Matt this time around, instead we have...
Sarah, our Head of Films, she’s agreed to join us as another host, and to bring a much needed woman’s touch to the proceedings. We look forward to hearing more from her.
What We’ve been doing
Will has been watching Kim play GTA V and is going to start watching Breaking Bad. He also watched Psycho for the first time recently.
Sarah has been watching films and is planning on starting American Horror Story. She also tells us why rebooting characters from classic films in a modern setting doesn’t work. She has some very good points.
Graham has been playing GTA V and watching Arrested Development on Netflix.

We discuss Dirty Harry, and pick our new film. The Citizen Kane of films… Citizen Kane.

Because Matt wasn’t around, we’ll never find out where his quote came from. Instead, tease your brain with the following.

“This job would be great, if it wasn’t for the fucking customers.”
If you know the film that line is from, along with the actor and character, let us know in the comments or at [email protected].
We wish ours could elicit this reaction... We then move onto the Elevator Pitch, Sarah declines a three point start, and chooses to start from nothing. She then proceeded to kick our arses, leaving the scores as the following;
Matt: 7
Sarah: 9
Graham: 12
Will: 14
During the Six Degrees segment, Will and I find out whether or not we’ve lost any points from our Elevator Pitch after deciding to gamble in the previous show. Will is unable to find a link, though he managed to almost do it, we decided we’d let him find it for next time. Until then, he’s had a point docked. I managed to find a direct link between my actors, which led to a decision to remove a point from the person who had set me the challenge (Matt). This means the scores for the Elevator Pitch now look more like this;
Matt: 6
Sarah: 9
Graham: 12
Will: 13 (14)
Matt: 7
Sarah: 9
Graham: 12
Will: 14
