Show Notes
It's time for our annual Diminishing Returns Easter Special where we take a look at a piece of religious cinema. We let Patreon choose the film we'd cover and they wanted The Wicker Man. We threw in the awkward spiritual sequel The Wicker Tree as well, because we're nice like that. There's even talk of the unmade third Wicker Man movie, The Wrath of the Gods.

Just in time for the release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the 2025 Diminishing Returns Halloween special finally enters completion. This time, we're discussing borderline high-fantasy epic 28 Years Later. Was it worth the wait?
Rejoice! We decided to cut the wait time between this and our previous episode by 26 weeks. This time, we're looking at the middle chapter of the 28 Days Later franchise: a film that asks the question: "Is a stellar opening sequence enough to buoy an entire feature film?"
It's time for our 2025 Halloween special! Just, uh... 28 days later. There's a reason for that. Can you work out what it is? It's extremely subtle.
The boys are back with the penultimate James Bond movie (but for how long? Probably quite a while, honestly). It's finally time for Spectre (or SPECTRE?), in which Christoph Waltz amazes everyone with the shocking twist no one saw coming that he's playing Blofeld and James Bond finally finds love like he didn't already do that three movies ago. It's a real surprise of an episode where up is down, left is right and Calvin is the #1,000,000 James Bond fan on YouTube.
Significantly upping the ante from last year's pornographic Valentine's Day special (which reviewed 1972's Deep Throat), this year the show is taking on a much more modern porn movie. Including Diminisodes and the intros for classic episode re-releases, Sol has told Allen about this movie in detail several times now. But does Sugar Babies: A Cautionary Tale live up to the hype?
