Chris: "We went to see a A Street Cat Named Bob together, because we were interviewing the stars from it. It was way better than we thought it was going to be, Scott told me it was a film about a guy who befriends a cat and that was it. I didn't think I was that bothered about it before I saw it, but it was great."

Scott: "It's a sweet film about a guy who was homeless and a cat became his mate - but it's better than that. You can't sell it very well."

Zootopia

"Zootopia. On the surface of it, you think 'cute animal film, cute animation it's going to be lame'. I watched it with my niece and nephew who are six and eight and I loved it as much as they did - for similar reasons but also different reasons.

"Some of the moral messages in it are brilliant, it's funny, it's charming and it's slightly different. It's a twist on those slightly sappy animated films. It was really interesting."

I Am Bolt trailer

(Warning: Third party video may contain adverts)

"I Am Bolt. I cried my eyes out through this movie. I didn't think I was going to like it, I don't really like sports but I loved it. It's one of my favourite films I’ve ever seen. I love Usain Bolt because although he's the fastest man on the planet and has beaten his own record three times and won nine gold medals, he's not that motivated - which makes him a little bit more human. He loves it, but he also loves drinking, eating MacDonald’s and going to see Major Lazer.

"I think it was an amazing movie and they should show it in every school, it was so motivational and inspiring."
