Thomas Törnros introduces an unusual episode with five films and a mysterious distributor 'biofilm' they had to include.

The episode opens with Thomas Törnros and his co-host introducing an unusual format with five films to review, including a mysterious 'biofilm' from a distributor. They first discuss 'Wicked for Good', the second part of the 'Wicked' musical adaptation, where one host details its failure to convincingly tie Elphaba's story to 'The Wizard of Oz' and criticizes Ariana Grande's appearance and the song numbers. Next, they move to 'War Machine', a Netflix action film starring Alan Ritchson; Thomas enjoys it as entertaining popcorn fare, while the other compares it unfavorably to 'Predator' and notes plot holes. The third film is 'Sisu: Road to Revenge', a Finnish action sequel; the hosts disagree, with one praising its added humor and Steven Lang's performance, and the other finding it too unrealistic compared to the first. They then review 'Christy', an Irish drama about a teenager in a foster family; one host feels it takes too long to develop characters, while the other appreciates its gritty realism and working-class portrayal. The fifth film is 'In the Blink of an Eye', a sci-fi film on Disney+ with Kate McKinnon, which receives a strong recommendation for its interconnected stories. The episode concludes with a bonus review of a film about Tourette's syndrome, which both hosts highly praise, calling it the best film of the year and awarding it five stars. Throughout, the hosts engage in banter, share personal viewing experiences with family, and offer contrasting opinions on each film's merits.
