Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users.

This week, to mark the podcast’s three-year anniversary and passing the one-hundred-and-fifty-episode threshold, we decided to bring back as many of the guests from the third year as possible. So, joining Andrew and Darren on this podcast are:

• Andy Hazell, who recorded Twin Peaks: The Return and Mary and Max
• Tony Black, who recorded Avengers: Endgame
• Carl Sweeney, who recorded Double Indemnity
• Brian Lloyd, who recorded Twin Peaks: The Return
• Alex Towers, who recorded Room, The Matrix and Fight Club
• Doctor Bernice Murphy, who recorded The Exorcist and Exorcist II: The Heretic
• Jess Dunne, who recorded Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
• Luke Dunne, who recorded Bohemian Rhapsody, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation and Baby Geniuses
• Phil Bagnall, who recorded L.A. Confidential, The Avengers, Three Colours: Red, The Lion King, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Exorcist II: The Heretic
• Richard Drumm, who recorded Twin Peaks: The Return
• Niall Glynn, who recorded Twin Peaks: The Return
• Chris Lavery, who recorded Sanjuro
• Jay Coyle, who recorded Twin Peaks: The Return and Capernaum
• Ronan Doyle, who recorded Capernaum
• Grace Duffy, who recorded Fifty Shades of Grey, Star Wars, Spice World, Rush and The Matrix
• Babu Patel, who recorded Race 3, Andhadhun, Escape Plan 2: Hades and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
• Doctor Giovanna Rampazzo, who recorded Race 3, Andhadhun and Escape Plan 2: Hades
• Joe Griffin, who recorded The Sixth Sense

We thought we’d take the opportunity to have a talk about the best and worst of this list, both in general and over the past year, and also take a nostalgic look back at the year 1999.
