Film Review
David McVay gives us a short history of Europa Corp. and The Digital Factory. This leads us into a feature review of their new film ‘From Paris With Love’ starring John Travolta and directed by Pierre Morel. David and Dave really enjoyed the film but recogised that it is a very silly film. Good throw back to the 1980s buddy film. Katrina was a little harder on the film suggesting that you wait for DVD.
This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.
