If the past few weeks of movies we like had you weary, fear not for this episode we have a real stinker for you: 2013\u2032s The Fifth Estate<\/i>. This was the year that Benedict Cumberbatch was everywhere and nowhere, alone yet not alone. After the rise of Sherlock<\/i>, this year saw him in four major movies including his biggest role in this film as Julian Assange, the controversial figure at the head of WikiLeaks.<\/p>\n

This week we look at Cumberbatch\u2019s expected Oscar rise and how The Fifth Estate<\/i> quickly died when faced with competition from bigger and more beloved movies. Joe finds a perfect summation of the film through The Simpsons<\/i> and Chris defends the oeuvre of Bill Condon. Other topics include Josh Singer\u2019s oddball Wikipedia page, Daniel Bruhl\u2019s near-miss Oscar nomination for Rush<\/i>, and this film\u2019s bizarre opening credits sequence.<\/p>\n

But most exciting this episode: a first ever perfect score on The IMDb Game!<\/p>\n
