Every Friday on Moncrieff, the studio is filled with the talk of new releases at the movies and the clink of glasses, as the show samples the best movies and booze available this week.
But around the country, listeners are furiously wracking their brains to come up with the most clever movie puns under the now iconic Movies & Booze hashtag. And today, it was #UglyMovies, in light of the reporter Henry McKean's investigation into how spouses and partners rate each other on looks – and how that might affect their fidelity to each other.
The tweets came thick and fast, with the following 10 our pick of the best. You can listen back to the full segment at the bottom of the post to hear what Esther McCarthy thought of Vacation and Paper Towns, or the wine picks of the Sunday Business Post's Tomás Clancy (you can find stockists at the bottom of the post).
But here are the 10 best tweets from today's segment:
