·34 min·3 clips

Jack reveals how all the cameras instantly turned away from him when Phil Mitchell won the NTA.

The episode opens with the hosts introducing their podcast as a mix of film discussion and random stories. Jack recounts his day at the NTAs, traveling by train with Peter Gunn and Johnny Duteen. He describes being nominated for Best Serial Drama Performance but losing to Steve McFadden, noting how all cameras turned away from him when the winner was announced. The hosts then humorously debate how to react when you lose an award, with Jack sharing his 'loser's face' tactics. Ben talks about attending the ITV 70th anniversary event at the Guildhall, where he saw celebrities like Ainsley Harriot and Rowan Atkinson. He mentions pitching their podcast to a director of a major advertising agency, hoping to secure sponsorship. The conversation shifts to a potential sponsorship from sex toy company Lovehoney, with the hosts joking about what products they'd promote. They then open a fan package containing a Jason mask from a listener named Delta, who runs a horror costume business on Etsy. The hosts create a top five list of fabrics to wear at awards shows, ranking wool, leather, linen, plastic, and polystyrene. Ben reads an email from an autistic listener who binge-listened to the podcast and credits Jack's portrayal of David Platt with helping him cope with bullying in school. The episode concludes with a preview of their next film review on 'Weapons' and a call for listener feedback.
