Show Notes
Not that anybody asked but this week we dusted off the DVDs and redrew the storyboards because we're figuring out our Top 3 Cancelled Shows That Need An Animated Series. Inspired by the news that Firefly is once again refusing to stay cancelled, we’re asking which shows deserve a second life but with fewer limits and a lot more animated chaos. Which cult classics would actually thrive without budgets, sets, or reality getting in the way? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a world where Tim Burton was happy, Nero's purple marble bathtub and having the same favourite dinosaur.

Not that anybody asked but this week we're all singing and all dancing. Back in episode 21 (over 2,628,000 minutes ago) we argued our Top 3 "Villains Who Have A Point" and nearly had a momentous falling out as Ian went to bat for Benny from Rent. The debate was never settled, so this week we brought in the man himself. We're joined by the incredible Joaquin Pedro Valdes, newly cast as Benny as Rent returns to the West End for its 30th Anniversary. Expect Shinigami, Shakespearean lions and whether the Scorpions had a point on Thunder Road.
