Shaun Micallef's Eve of Destruction - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Stephen Curry and Felix Cameron
Shaun interviews the vampire Lestat who unfortunately, because he's a vampire, is unable to reflect on his career.
Rebecca Gibney and Kate Langbroek
There's confusion and a healthy dose of tedium when Jeopardy champion Larry Sprechen answers each of Shaun's questions in the form of a question.
Felicity Ward and Adam Liaw
Shaun's telepathic powers accidentally cause a guest's head to explode mid-anecdote (like in the film Dirty Dancing) and Shaun is forced to apologise.
Robyn Butler and Jimmy Rees
Shaun daringly subverts the chat show format by interviewing a small bird through the language of mime while playing a hammered dulcimer (the bird, not Shaun).
Peter Helliar and Usman Khawaja
Shaun interviews Richard Nixon in this exclusive and very special episode. Given Nixon has been dead since 1994, the conversation is a little one-sided.
Pia Miranda and Zachary Ruane
Shaun sits this episode out and Leigh Sales takes over. Unfortunately, some monkeys attack her half-way through.
Mary Coustas and Tim Rogers
Luis Bunuel is guest director for this extraordinarily confusing episode. The interview consists entirely of close-ups of eyes. It's impossible to tell who the guests are.
Nazeem Hussain and Poh Ling Yeow
Shaun interviews Sir John Mills about From Here to Eternity (1953). Given Sir John is not in the film and hasn't seen it, his knowledge is limited to what's on Wikipedia.

Dark Matter
Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels of the decade, Dark Matter is a story about the road not taken. The series follows Jason Dessen, a physicist, professor, and family man who – one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago – is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the multiverse of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of mind-bending realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
Bob's Burgers
The series follows Bob who runs Bob's Burgers, with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, but the rest of the clan falls short on service. Despite the greasy counters and lousy location, the Belchers are determined to make every "Grand Re-Re-Re-opening" a success. Bob's wife, Linda, stands by her man and often does so by bursting into song. Their eldest daughter, 13-year-old Tina has a slight obsession with boys and zombies. Middle child Gene is an aspiring musician with a thirst for life. Louise is the bunny ears-wearing youngest daughter with an off-kilter sense of humor that makes her somewhat of a liability in the kitchen – and with the public.
