Turner & Looch - Episode 4: Harry Potter Special
This week we're joined by designated Harry Potter fan Vicki Isitt from The Film Pilgrim. We discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, the week's releases, a couple of trailers and various other things. Non-Smallville fans may want to skip the first few minutes (see below), as it turns out we're the only three people we know who like and watch Smallville, so we took full advantage. Oh, and stay tuned for an epic trailer for next week's episode (with Special Guest Emerson Forde) at the end.
Apologies for sound quality, sound quality fans - we were forced to record in the pub this week. Thanks again to Michael (Blue Posts, Rupert Street).
