I think this review is a bit cynical. Chappie is definitely a deeply flawed film, but it is reasonably entertaining if you don't think about the rough edges. Sure, Hugh Jackman's villan is terrible, Sigorney Weaver is wasted, the rap duo have hideous haircuts, Chappie's voice is irritating and all the cutesy…

Koalas are not bears. I have no other interest in this piece but I can't walk past without fixing that.

Our top story tonight: the Chevy Chase Show is still dead.

There was an Australian version of this a couple of years later: https://www.youtube.com/wat…. No flexi disc based competition though.

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

That's brilliant. Notice the sales people's photos are ever so slightly bigger than the engineers.

I lost my shirt at the horse races.

Science fiction lite, maybe. They did explore the time travelling mechanism in a few episodes - at one point the present got a visit from the future from some guy who'd found a similar portal uptime and was doing essentially the same thing as Gary.

Yep I was a fan of that show. I knew it was not that great but time travel stories always hook me so I couldn't stop watching. It was quite a good premise, even if the main character was essentially a bigamist across time.

Unfortunately the nit was very figgy, and the bummers pissed overhead.

This reminds me of the Taco Bell product placement in Demolition Man. Australia and Europe don't have Taco Bell, so they changed the signs - and a line of dialogue - to Pizza Hut. Even as a teenager, when I heard that fact, I was enough of a cynic to think "Why stop there? Why not have customisable product placement…

I was thinking of "Do Over", the WB sitcom from the early 00s. It wasn't that great, although it had its moments. Taking revenge on a bully in the line for Empire Strikes Back in 1980 by spoiling both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi was quite a cool bit. It was good enough that its memory will be dishonored…

My nine year old is looking forward to this, but wants to know why they didn't use the same voice actors as the animated version. He doesn't realise the animated version is 50 years old. Trying to think of a nice way to tell him all those voice actors are long dead.

Sure she could. It happens all the time. A lot of litigation takes years and has half a dozen parties represented by every decent firm in town. The rule is Kim can't have anything to do with or even talk about the case at the new firm, that would be serious professional misconduct. Actually I thought they overcooked…

Well, as there's already two Australians songs on here, you could also include "You're the Voice" by John Farnham. But while that's a solid song, the bagpipes don't really make it that much better.

Did you notice that the hosts of the 2019 Motocross Championships had surgical masks on? Guess there must've been something going around…

I keep seeing in bookstores that one about the Late Night wars between Letterman and Leno. Has anyone read that? Is it any good?

Is Clive James known as a writer in the US? He wrote a brilliant television column in the Observer in the 70s and 80s and published three collections of his television writing which are excellent.

So what do we think Jake's best strategy is here? Tell Sadie he's a time traveler? Or come up with some story about being an FBI agent surveilling Oswald? I would expect the latter but the former worked pretty damn well with Bill.

Don't do what Donald Drumpf does. *sigh* They could have made this clearer.
