This week the team asks whether the increase in annual film production is a boon or bane to film fans. Does the ever growing number of movies make for a better range of entertainment or simply make the good projects harder to find and, more importantly, can the industry sustain the spiralling output?
Plus the guys select their top ten TV shows and movies for May so you know what to keep an eye out for.

Presented by Cas Harlow with Simon Crust, Mark Costello and Tom Davies.
