This episode sees Morgan take Tom back to 1993 and the strangely-forgotten action romp The Three Musketeers, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Chris O'Donnell and Tim Curry.
Tom thought he'd seen it, but when he watched it the night before, this was apparently not the case. But what did he think of it?
We discuss:
- Why are they called Musketeers when they only seem to use swords?
- Tom's concept of something having 'no legacy' purely because he's never heard of it
- The brilliance of Dogtanian and Albert the Fifth Musketeer
- Why the film has, according to Morgan, a "highly f***able" cast
- Tom's weird dissing of Chris O'Donnell
- Why we're still annoyed about Drew from Neighbours' death
- What the hell have they done to Paul McGann?
- Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart AND Sting
