Watch out diary writers, you're apparently all self-obsessed narcissists with delusions of significance, and for some baffling reason Howie has it in for you this week. The Top 5 movie Brides appears to be what set him off as our resident Ray Mears lover apparently can't think of a single movie featuring a wedding. As unlikely as that seems, we do manage to stay wedded to the idea and finish off this weeks offering.GONE GIRL is David Fincher's 2014 adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel of the same name. A slick and very silly psychological thriller, Rosamund Pike plays the girl from the title of the movie who has gone somewhere and Ben Affleck is her errant husband accused of her disappearance. Twists and turns galore in this one so make sure you've seen the movie before you tune in. Unless of course what you're tuning in for is to hear three men marveling at Ben Affleck's junk and one man who managed to miss it. No easy feat either, the darn thing nearly poked one of my eyes out from here.HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES is exactly the kind ironically self-aware TV series title I would normally avoid were it not for the obligations of this podcast however Disney have excelled themselves here. By cleverly setting this series in the real world rather than the world of the movie, this works for the casual viewer not beholden by nostalgia to the 2006 franchise starter, and by assuming a mockumentary presentation style there's room for some meta commentary about musicals in general without being too hipster post-modern or insincere. Unless of course you think its  depiction of teen love is over-sexualised and the lack of connection to the original universe disrespects the legions of fans of the original, as one of us did.We love to hear from our listeners!
