🎬 We kick off with a dark chapter in modern history, revisiting the tragic fate of Nick Berg, whose brutal demise at the hands of extremists left the world reeling.

🎥 On the movie front, 'Van Helsing' was slashing through cinemas, but was it a hit or a miss? We dissect this monster mash-up and its impact on the horror genre.

📺 Lastly, pour one out for 'Frasier' as we revisit its grand finale. After 11 seasons, did it deliver the send-off it deserved?
