Stephen knows it and loves it, but Trev's never seen it - and being so old - what will he think? Starring Aussie Rod Taylor, it's directed by George Pal and is set in 1899 and beyond. Better than Back to the Future? Not even worth a discussion.

Back safely though

Stephen has chosen the 1976 characterisation of King Kong as he believes it's the best. The story of a Giant Ape discovered on a remote island and brought to New York City as a tourist attraction and traveling show. Starring Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin and the first film role of Jessica Lange - this is a different story to the 1932 and 2005 King Kong's but follows a similar path. Trev's never seen it, the movie is as old as he is, while Stephen has more copies of it than would seem normal to any reasonable person. Enjoy our breakdown thanks to Fetch and Hisense

The 1987 classic RoboCop would be best described as a science fiction action film - but could be seen by many as a glimpse into a heavily privatised corporate run world. Director Paul Verhoeven takes the Edward Neumeier screenplay and places Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer in to make for a cracking great show. A run-down Detroit could become the host for a new mega city - controlled by RoboCops. Stephen has seen it a bunch, Trev's only heard of it, so fire up your Fetch and get that Hisense TV ready for RoboCop

Misery is known as a psychological thriller, but Trev learns on his first watch that it's that and much more. Recorded just weeks after the passing of the Movie's star James Caan, Misery is directed by Rob Reiner based on Stephen King's 1987 novel of the same name It could easily be argued though that Kathy Bates stole the show in this one, with an outstanding and rightly Oscar winning performance. So, Stephen's read the book and watched the movie many times, this is Trevor's first go - let's see how that goes down.

Instagram's boss has had to come out and talk about the outrage over changes to the app, while in reality they are entitled to do whatever they want and people just need to accept it and understand - or do they?
