Without a home,
Always remember: “I’m Spartacus!”

Episode 039: Airplane! (1980, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, & Jerry Zucker)

It’s all a bit mysterious,
Food makes people delirious,
From fish abstain,
To fly this plane,
Surely you can’t be serious?

Episode 038: The French Connection (1971, William Friedkin)

Frog One’s shipment will make you tipsy,
As you’d expect from a French gypsy,
Aside from the blow,
Popeye wants to know,
Ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Episode 037: The Time Machine (1960, George Pal)

H.G. Welles knew a thing or two,
About travel and time-in-lieu,
Advancing the clocks,
And meeting Morlocks,
He’ll help the Eloi stage a coup.

Episode 036: Strangers On A Train (1951, Alfred Hitchcock)

A tennis player without a loss,
Meets a bachelor with too much gloss,
Politeness can drain,
Riding on the train,
As Bruno suggests to Guy, Criss Cross!

Episode 035: Goodfellas (1990, Martin Scorsese)

Henry and Tommy bleed Brooklyn dry,
With their fingers in every pie,
But Henry flays,
When Tommy says,
“What do you mean, ‘I’m a funny guy’”?

Episode 034: The Blues Brothers (1980, John Landis)

Though the brothers couldn’t be whiter,
For a band they couldn’t be tighter,
In a car ex-police,
Says Jake post-release,
‘Elwood, fix the cigarette lighter’.

Don’t have too much beer,
You’ll never escape from the Yabba.
