Now, in all fairness, we're going to place a ZOMG Spoilz warningz on this entire episode (which we forgot to do at the start). We do speak about the films as if you've seen them all, but we don't spend enough time on any of them to really ruin too much. Also: Rennie spreads Dickensian cheer, and Adam spreads foul mouthedness. Merry Christmas. Runtime: 1h 22m 20s
