We welcome everyone to Season 2, and take you through what the new series will be like. We are going to be running through Kev's Top 100 favourite films, the question on everybody's lips is…can he actually remember 100 films 👀 We take you through the new categories, Andy and Kev believe their roles will change (but the reality is Andy loves research too much, and Kev has limited available brain cells to do anything other than watch the film 😁) We unveil our new theme song, and our new location 😱 But is Andy ready for the volume of differing Action genres on the list 😂IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/Quote:the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.

We run through all of Andy's top 100 films and remember the highs and lows of season 1. Kev walks us through his highlights from the list and Andy talks through some films he's seens since starting the pod that might feature in the renewed list in 10 years time (just like Sight and Sound!) The top 25 has been re-ordered with some films falling, or is it still climbing to different places. Finally Andy and Kev close down the shop for refurbishments and we hear some voicemails from past guests to welcome in season 2, the redux!

Well we all made it to episode 100, as Andy talks us through the much anticipated? Long awaited? Or maybe just long, YiYi. Natalie joins Andy and Kev at the shop for this one because that's the way the dice falls! Andy is rechristened 'No Spoilers Butt' by his wife and even still can't help but give away some clues on the film. Will everyone still be in the shop once the film is finished? Will more people have wandered in because it takes so long? Episode 100 finishes off Andy's top 100 films and it's quite a ride!https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244316/@longplayvideo

This week Poppy joins us in the shop, and re-orders the entireplace into a system only she understands. She unveils her secret system for correct bath temperatures, and gives us an uncanny Andy impression that's so accurate it's grim (in both senses of the word).Andy, meanwhile, continues to pander to the robots, at Kev’sexpense and then he concocts a brand new drink (I wonder if that could be served at the Long Play Video bar🍹). And we settle the debate on the best movie snacks for a Visceral 4D film experience like this. Join us this week for episode 99, with as many twists as Celebrity Traitors, Spirited Away!IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4846340/@longplayvideolongplay.video

There’s a real 70s vibe around the shop this week, as Rob sheepishly brings back Saturday night fever and we roll the dice for this week’s film. We discuss if groupies are still a thing, or have ticket prices stopped them. What do Rob and Kev have in common with Oscar voters and does Andy just watch movies during house parties? Is Andy watching this in 2001 actually the start of the pod, or Andy’s origin story and how much is it actually true! Join us for episode 98 as we watch Almost Famous.@longplayvideolongplay.video

This week continues with the dice suspense, as we invite Carla down to the shop one more time in season 1. She lucks out and leaves the ever lengthening Taiwanese movie still on the board. We use the Australian dvd cover for this week’s film, to make Kev feel more at home and Carla tries to blend in with an Australian Michael Caine impression. Andy is the most confident he’s ever been that everyone will love this film and is he correct? We see tears, talk maths and Kev has even done research again. Join us for a groundbreaking episode as, in episode 97, we discuss Hidden Figures.@longplayvideolongplay.video
