It's Mix and Match—sorry, I mean Mitch and Max—are back with another ~freaky~ episode of Block-Busted, the film review podcast that swaps things around every episode, not just this one!

First, they swap bodies to learn the power of respect in Freaky Friday (2003), before finding better, more beautiful and more perfect versions of themselves in The Substance

Another one for the Books - Inkheart & Bookworm

My mom always told me watching too much TV was bad for the eyes. Listening to this podcast is bad for the ears.

Plan Block from Planet Busted - ET: the Extra-Terrestrial & Alien: Romulus

Just like a predator in the night, this episode is stalking up behind you, but instead of doing dastardly things it's going to ask if you have games on your iPhone.



Max and Mitch delve into the world of serial killers as they learn that they can discern the smell of anything and everything... like frogs eggs in a pond. After sniffing pond scum they take their daughters to a concert only to discover that their scum sniffing crimes have been found out and they need to escape!

Films to DIE for! - Perfume: The Story of a Murderer & Trap

Many moons ago a podcast's transcript was written, then lost to time, buried by catastrophe outside humanities control (Max and Mitch recorded a podcast and then didn't get a chance to edit it because of the hiatus). Now, the transcript is unearthed and released upon the world, coming at a time most dire (Max and Mitch messed up this weeks podcast so are releasing the recently edited lost episode to make up for a lack of content).



Max and Mitch are primed to adventure and write as they swing their way into romance with a man who poaches bird in Romancing the Stone (1984). They then write some espionage books only to realise their imaginations are so bad that they can only write about real events in Argyle (2024).

Lost Episode: Write'r'Wrong - Romancing the Stone & Argyle

You! Yes, you! I am talking to you, right now, the person reading the show notes. I have something very important to tell you...



Wait... I forgot... I'll tell you at the end of the notes!



Max and Mitch break every single wall as they delve into some metatextual media. They'll lose their minds as they try to re-write someone else's work in Adaptation (2002) before pulling on some unflattering spandex and delving into the waste bin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).

In 2014, the video rental store Blockbuster went out of business. 9 years later, two boys stole their logo, added a hyphen and replaced the R with a D.
