The three-part project of the 2022 Greatest Britons culminates with Ian and Tom revealing the ultimate list of their 100 Greatest Britons, the ones who just missed out, and the entrants from 2002 who didn't have a hope in Hell of remaining on the ballot 20 years later. We learn which entries inspired the hosts to do more research, and exactly to what end the 2022 picks are more enlightened in terms of gender, ethnicity, and nationality than those of 2002.

Picking back up from their previous episode on the 100 Greatest Britons, Ian Wilson and Tom Hemmings reveal the second half of their lists as to who they truly consider to be the Top 50 greatest people from their part of their world. These include both notable omissions and picks that draw ridicule, but just because you will know the individual lists of the hosts by the end of the episode, that doesn't mean you know the weighted list, and therefore the definitive Top 100 list. Yet. [ 2:36:42 ] [ download ]

Will and Skyler begin their Yuletide Festivities as they watch Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas. What starts as a discussion of a Christmas tie-in film of a soap opera quickly becomes a discussion of one couple's stamina, confusing relationship rhombuses, and Jackee Harry.

This week on the show, it's episode 800 so Tom and Desmond hail to the king, baby! Sit back and enjoy our coverage of one of the weirdest franchises ever: Evil Dead!

Due to the results of the 2021 Tomlinson Awards, the Most Anticipated Actor for 2022, Natalie Portman, receives the full HAA treatment from The Brothers Wilson. The three films on the docket: sweary, sex-play adaptation Closer; whacky underage assassin Leon: The Professional; and scary, avian-based dance horror Black Swan. Which film leaves both hosts lukewarm, and which inspired many a 90s action film? Also: discover which film from Portman's back catalogue is the personification of a comedy Rock song, marvel at how The Brothers tip-toe around big topics, including questionable French artistry and the Israeli / Palestine conflict, and prepare to vote in the upcoming Tomlinson Awards 2022!

In 2002, the BBC polled the British public as to who they considered to be the 100 Greatest Britons of all time. Because this poll did not include a 17-year-old Ian Wilson nor a 19-year-old Tom Hemmings, the two men in question, now in their late 30s, set about to right this wrong by beginning their own countdown of who they consider the 100 Greatest Britons. This episode sees the hosts countdown from 100 to 51, whilst displaying their non-mutual contempt for explorers, sportspeople, and Margaret Thatcher. [ 2:42:36 ]

Ho Ho Holy shit, what a bad movie?! This week, as is tradition, Desmond and Duane ring in the holiday season with a review of a Christmas horror film. This week, it's David Hess's first and only film as a director: To All a Good Night. But, because the movie pretty much blows, they instead rundown their own favorite Christmas horror films in an impromptu double Dread Media Top 5 tucked into a review. Then, Duane has been telling Desmond to watch Better Watch Out for years, so he finally does and gives a short review of that much better film. And of course, we pay tribute to one of the greatest film composers of all-time. Carols included: "Snow Dome Dreams" by Angelo Badalamenti (RIP), "No Presents for Christmas" by King Diamond, "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones, and, of course, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.

Oo-de-lally! Ian returns to Part of Your World, where the firstborn Wilson and the eldest Honore heir assess Robin Hood. How does Disney's animal adaptation of the medieval legend fare against those of Flynn, Costner, Crowe, and others, and why is it seen as more of misfire than a bullseye by some Disney fans? [ 1:57:29 ]

We're all about getting that educational content in under the wire as we take a look at the UK's Video Nasty era! We open with 2021's Censor, a film set during the height of the controversy.

Yoo-hoo-hoo! Tom Hemmings reunites with Christian to cover The Jungle Book - the last film Walt Disney helped bring to fruition, and home to Beatlesque barbershop quartets, potentially problematic primates, and the greatest villain with Khan in his name (search your feelings; you know it to be true). Plus, The Transatlantic Two weigh in on Walt’s life, legacy, and less-than-laudable actions, and Tom teases a new segment for Earth-2.net: The Show! [ 2:03:23 ]
