Chris and Allen are drawn into a ‘web of seduction’ as we uncross our legs and discuss Basic Instinct 2 but, not unlike the many men ensnared by Sharon Stone’s Catherine Tramell, we just can’t resist…..talking about Paul Verhoeven's iconic original movie first.

We discuss the 90s run of Michael Douglas' blockbusters, the perils of the true crime publishing industry and David Morrissey’s acting choices. We also meet the man of a thousand voices and of course we discuss THAT infamous scene.

Episode 6? More like episode SEX, right guys?
