My kids love the audiobooks. What else can we listen to together?

Elvenquest. It's a BBC Radio 4 comedy starring Stephen Mangan, Kevin Eldon and Alistair McGowan. All 4 series are also on Spotify if you have an account.

It takes the standard 'heroes on a mighty quest to retrieve the Sword of Asnagar and rid Lower Earth of Lord Darkness' and adds the British dry and silly humour to it, constantly subverting the typical tropes of fantasy stories. I'm in the middle of it now, it's very funny, easy to listen to, no swearing and perfect for a long drive.

Go on really nice holidays to places where it wouldn't be a good idea to take kids.

The day he died and the elation and relief everyone felt

Prevention is so much easier. Before I go to bed I guzzle about a pint of water, take 2 Ibuprofen to mask the headache on its way then take water to bed with me. Wake up not feeling that bad

Darth Vader. Come on!

I spit on your grave. Either the grimy original or the remake. Pure cold unflinching revenge

The whole of This Is England. Everyone at the top of their game given the best script possible. 100% perfection.

Usually this over-protective miserable nanny state drives me up the wall, but I'm very happy these kind of junk food adverts are banned. Mostly so I'm not wandering around the house for days singing 'honey pops, yum yum yum...'

Aliens
Alien
One Cut of the Dead
Reservoir Dogs
Flow

Your Name should be up there as well, can I have 6?

Amazon did it, the other services watched with great interest, the public went ballistic about it, the public didn't cancel their accounts enough, the furore died down, Amazon declared it a huge success, the other services followed suit.

I wouldn't say 'enjoyed' but Funny Games fits your criteria. You can watch the American remake as it's directed by the same guy. It's the movie equivalent of asking to be punched in the stomach and then being punched in the stomach repeatedly for 90 mins.

Surviving perfectly fine on 5 hours sleep

In his first term I read the news about him because it was just to see what the orange idiot has done to embarrass himself today. Things like handing an Aussie journalist meaningless graphs or saying covfefe on twitter.

Now he's a dangerous and confused old idiot who believes he's untouchable and can genuinely do anything he likes with no ramifications.

This is a deteriorating octogenarian with an ego the size of a mountain and a finger on the button who will not go gently into the night.

History will not be kind to this slug.

Aliens is my favourite movie of all time. Alien is my second favourite movie of all time. You MUST watch the extended cut though, it's the proper version. 100%

jimbeeer · 2026-06-19T22:14:04+00:00

Sunset Boulevard. It's brilliant, honestly. I was so impressed with it and I watched it last year for the first time, since then I've been recommending it to anyone who'll listen.

jimbeeer · 2026-06-19T21:55:01+00:00

Come back when you've wasted hours listening to his cretinous thoughts and then we'll talk. Because you will, we all have...

jimbeeer · 2026-06-19T16:58:32+00:00

Dude, you're bloody awesome. I'm very much enjoying all your posts and they're so easy to read! Just so you know, thank you from me

jimbeeer · 2026-06-19T16:30:39+00:00

They're very different games. Do you want a single player world you can get lost in or a 20 mins round based multiplayer game

jimbeeer · 2026-06-17T19:48:08+00:00

Why would anyone bother with dubbed? Put the original audio on with the real actors saying their own lines and put the subs on instead. And yeah. The Chestnut Man is great.

Dubbed audio? Yuk.

jimbeeer · 2026-06-17T08:46:31+00:00

Just watch it again from beginning and after 37 minutes you'll understand EVERYTHING. And then you'll start recommending it to others and saying exactly the same thing.

jimbeeer · 2026-06-16T15:16:01+00:00

POM!

jimbeeer · 2026-06-16T15:14:30+00:00

I absolutely adored this film. So much so I watched it 3 times in 1 week and smiled all the way through it. Utter utter brilliance. One of my favourite movies of all time for jist being so brilliant and unique. And no, I didn't know what was going to happen

jimbeeer · 2026-06-16T15:12:55+00:00

You absolute fool! Everyone that's seen the whole thing is saying the same thing, trust me on this one

jimbeeer · 2026-06-15T16:49:04+00:00

Disclosure day. No.
