Hello, here's something a bit different for you, it's a mash up episode of Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! and Trve. Crvp. Pop! as Sam and Steve look at the 2016 movie and soundtrack album of David Brent: Life on the Road, released on the 19th of August 2016.

David Brent, of course, is the fictional character that was the focus of The Office, one of British comedies finest ever shows. After a mere two series and one Christmas special, that was about as perfect as television could be, the character was retired by creator Ricky Gervais after that, or so we thought. A decade after The Office, Gervais brought Brent back for a Comic Relief sketch and tour with his fictional band Foregone Conclusion. So successful was it that he decided to expand on the idea of Brent living out his rock star dreams with a full blown movie, showing his exploits out on tour.

It made about half of its £10m budget back and was generally not that well received, but ten year's down the line, how does it hold up? And are we looking at the whole pie Jenny?
