2002: Bubba Ho-Tep, Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, The Cat Returns

This week we're going way back into the mists of time...five years before the iPhone 1...to a land that narrowly escaped destruction at the hands of the Y2K bug. Yes, it's 2002, the year that catapulted The Rock to stardom as the worst CGI scorpion man ever.

As ever we've got a fantastic selection of films to chew over, along with regular features Industry Corner (which will become relevant at some point, presumably), a whirlwind update of what was rockin' the film industry in 2002, and of course the ultra-competitive, incredibly well organised Film Quiz Super League.
