Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1. "The Man Who Was Death" • "And All Through the House" with Dr Simon Brown
Q: What were your general thoughts on The Man Who Was Death, having seen it again?
Simon Brown praises its hard-edged mood, film-noir sensibility, and especially William Sadler's performance as the backbone that holds the piece together.
3. "Lover Come Hack To Me" • "Collection Completed" with Kat Hughes
Q: What stood out about the ending of Collection Completed?
They highlight the visual of Jonas the dog being taxidermied and the implication that the couple's life will continue with macabre new tenants, making the finale both shocking and unforgettable.
3. "Lover Come Hack To Me" • "Collection Completed" with Kat Hughes
Q: How does Collection Completed use sitcom elements to shift into horror?
Kat and the hosts note the shift from a light, almost One Foot In The Grave-like premise to a darker, more savage ending, with the final reveal and the eccentricities of taxidermy underscoring the dark humor.
