This week Ed Mason and Alexandra McCreadie takeover Well Good Movies after winning the End-game Champions' Cut! With both of them on hosting duties, it means Dave and Craig are the guests for once as we are given the task of discussing 'the Citizen Kane of bad movies' - The Room.

With fun discussions about bad movies, The Razzies, and the legacy of this iconic film (including The Disaster Artist) we delve into the weird and wacky of this cult film.

But of-course an episode wouldn't be complete without our usual Endgame- the twist this week being Dave versus Craig to decide the film for the next episode, and pave the way for the future of Well Good Movies!

Why Did We Watch This? - The Fifty Shades Franchise
