#92: David O. Russell, J.C. Chandor, Judd Apatow, Adam McKay - December 20 2013

#91: Luke Evans, Richard Armitage, Matt Berry - December 13, 2013
If you want to hear Richard Armitage swear in Dwarfish (and turn his head around 360 degrees), this is the podcast to listen to. Also here to talk The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug was Luke Evans, who was charm personified as he lulled several members of the team into starting a fan club. And as if that weren't enough, the sonorous Matt Berry dropped by in honour of his fantastic sitcom, Toast Of London, and just say words in a beautiful way.
