After an incredibly long and unplanned hiatus, we are back with our third episode and pretending nothing happened. This week we dive into Mamma Mia and it's men with Grainne Robson. 

This episode has far too much about Ameena's dating history, loads of chickens, Cher and singing. #ItsABaseballFieldSizedBox

Onwards to our second episode featuring the fozziest (who knows) Dean Johnson and his choice of film: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 🎅 

This episode has a famous special guest, an enthusiastic button, Statler and Waldorf trivia and of course the terror that is Big Bird. #TheFlagsAreYellow

Our pilot episode features the wonderful Sam Rippon as our first guest and brings us the film that started this nonsense: Love Actually! ❤️

This episode has a pig slap to a whole family, the octopus lobster child, Muppet f*cking, Beaker’s dulcet tones, and swapping Portugal for Sweden. But most importantly #BackBobo 🐻
