Will is back from LA, where it didn't just rain; it poured, figuratively and literally.

It may take a village to make a film, but sometimes it can be a one-man show on screen, and for this episode, Will and Kevin share their favourite films that feature (for the most part) just one character.

The next main show episode from Will and Kevin was meant to be Best Death Scene, but they hit a snag after recording the show with a guest. Unfortunately, their audio was lost. That left them with an incomplete taping. Rather than try and do it over, Will and Kevin have decided to come back to it in the future. Instead, they will record an episode on a topic suggested by one of their Discorder Patrons - Lara. Best Guilty Pleasure Films! In the meantime, enjoy this "outtake" release that hopefully serves as a suitable farewell for what would have been a brilliant ep.
