Alex and Joe talk PVRIS Live in London, new Eighteen Visions, and whether everyone should completely unashamedly be listening to Killswitch Engage and Avenged Sevenfold in 2017. As well as that, we debut a new segment called Best 5. It's pretty self explanatory, but it does have a bit of a twist to it. This week, we tackle the Best 5 songs by The National, to celebrate their new track and news of a new album and UK tour. More info: http://theclosetoho.me  

Joey's back this week as all three of us talk about Star Wars, Ghost in the Shell and Drake among other things. It also turns out that Joey doesn't quite know exactly what a horror movie is.  Outside of that, Joey's time away wasn't totally wasted as he comes back with a story on visiting a masonic temple... which you might recognise from that time Insane Clown Posse played there. You probably won't recognise it from the Saw movies though. Don't forget to pre-order the new Sibling EP over at http://theclosetoho.me!

This weeks' movie-heavy episode features Alex and Joe talking about upcoming horror film Raw, as well as touching on the likes of Power Rangers, Inherent Vice and Santa Clarita Diet among others. Outside of the movie world we also took the opportunity of Joey being away for this episode to get nerdy about our history with pro-wrestling and talk about why 2017 is the year everyone in their mid-20s should pick up watching it again. *If you'd like to skip all the wrestling chat once it comes to it, just head to the 54 minute mark.
