Bring Your Own Blockbuster

BYOB: Matilda and Dark Matter

Put away your pigtails, put down the shot putt and get on out of the chokey, we've got another world class episode of BYOB for you.


To begin with... let's call a spade a spade. What with it being so sunny in the UK Ben and Jack have been woefully lazy and not gone to the cinema this week. Let's add a bit of context there too though, there's arguably not much new to go and see. Don't panic - we've got a big review of TRAP coming up this weekend which we're both very excited for. And having said all of that - with there being a little bit of a quiet period at the cinema, Ben has finally managed to start working his way down Jack's recommended list.


And so... This week the lads take a big deep dive into the world of 'Dark Matter'. If you haven't seen it - it's wonderful and you should run on head first into apple tv to watch it.


We're also joined by a very special guest Niamh Shakleton - who brings a blockbuster from her childhood with her this week. And it's a belter. We're going Danny Devito Directorial masterclass, a Mara Wilson Classic and an unbelievable turn from Pam Ferris as the wonderful Agatha Trunchbull.


Up for discussion this week - is this film actually a lot more dark than anyone realised? Are the grown ups just making it up as they go along?


We pick our favourite Trunchbull insult from the following list:

‘Are you a pig Amanda?... your mummy is a twit’

'shes a real wart… a carbuncle, a blister, a blistering festering pusstule a malignant ooze’

'You squirming worm of vomit'

'The demented drooling slime breathed little lilipution who owns this disgusting ribbon will never see the light of day again'


We get stuck into Bruce Bogtrotters Man v Food style cake eating challenge and somehow get onto Gillian Mckeith and you are what you eat. Ahh the 90's. More great stuff for you to come next week - make sure you listen to the end to hear what's coming up!
