Roman gladiators startle us,
With battles that are so marvellous,
Approaching Rome,
Without a home,
Always remember: “I’m Spartacus!”

There’s a magical new pattern,
Capital and Labour will flatten,
A white so brill,
Trouble at t’Mill
All because of Sidney Stratton.

But his plans to overthrow fall flat,

Episode 039: Airplane! (1980, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, & Jerry Zucker)

It’s all a bit mysterious,
Food makes people delirious,
From fish abstain,
To fly this plane,
Surely you can’t be serious?

Episode 038: The French Connection (1971, William Friedkin)

Frog One’s shipment will make you tipsy,
As you’d expect from a French gypsy,
Aside from the blow,
Popeye wants to know,
Ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Episode 037: The Time Machine (1960, George Pal)

H.G. Welles knew a thing or two,
About travel and time-in-lieu,
Advancing the clocks,
And meeting Morlocks,
He’ll help the Eloi stage a coup.

Episode 036: Strangers On A Train (1951, Alfred Hitchcock)

A tennis player without a loss,
Meets a bachelor with too much gloss,
Politeness can drain,
Riding on the train,
As Bruno suggests to Guy, Criss Cross!

Henry and Tommy bleed Brooklyn dry,
With their fingers in every pie,
But Henry flays,
When Tommy says,
“What do you mean, ‘I’m a funny guy’”?

Episode 034: The Blues Brothers (1980, John Landis)

Though the brothers couldn’t be whiter,
For a band they couldn’t be tighter,
In a car ex-police,
Says Jake post-release,
‘Elwood, fix the cigarette lighter’.

Daughter Janette wants you to grab her,
At this time of year,
Don’t have too much beer,
You’ll never escape from the Yabba.
