It's back to a classic top 5 this week on Culture Bucket. We're hitting up a more recent decade and looking at our favourite films from the 00s.

We also have our usual homework and culture catch up discussions for you to enjoy as well.
The episode will be hitting podcast feeds on Thursday morning, so plug in!
