In this week's episode, Dave and Craig are joined by Sarah Williams (Popcorn Chat) and Aaron Potter to discuss the 1998 classic – Small Soldiers!

How much 90s nostalgia can we get from one movie? Are the toys more entertaining than the humans? And does Christy really seem like a Led Zeppelin fan?

We ask all this and more in this week's episode, as well as play this week's toy-related Endgame!

In this extra special Christmas episode, we decide to continue our journey through Dark Christmas, and celebrate an anniversary, with a revisit of the 1984 cult classic – Gremlins. Why does it remain a staple of Christmas? Does some of its humour still land? And is Gizmo the cutest character ever?

We ask all these questions and more along with Mary Muñoz, who helps out once more in VHS Corner, to help Dave and Craig bring a whole host of trivia and fun to this final episode of 2024!

Dave and Craig dive back into the world of Gotham and Tim Burton (much to Craig's dismay). Joined by Sarah Williams and Jake Hart, the group discusses the cultural impact of Catwoman, Penguin, and Burton's Batman, and review the crazy antics, visuals, and moments in this 90s superhero classic.

Does Christopher Walken belong in this film? Does Batman and Burton make a good combination? And how impactful were Danny Devito and Michelle Pfeiffer on pop cultural in these roles?
