In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 2003 American religious comedy film "Bruce Almighty" directed by Tom Shadyac and written by Steve Koren, Mark O'Keefe and Steve Oedekerk. The film stars Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a television field reporter for Eyewitness News on WKBW-TV in Buffalo, New York, who is desperate to become the new news anchorman at the television station he works for - however, after being passed over for promotion in favour of his rival Evan Baxter (played by Steve Carell), Bruce has an on-air meltdown which sees him being dismissed from the news station. Bruce does not take his dismissal well - which causes him to take out his frustrations on his always hopeful and optimistic girlfriend Grace Connelly (played by Jennifer Anniston) as well as openly blaming God for the recent misfortunes that have befallen him and he suggests that God himself should be the one who is fired... which leads God (played by Morgan Freeman) to offer Bruce the chance to try his hand at being God for a week and see if he can do a better job - to the delight of Bruce, because he now has the power to do anything that he can imagine; however, slowly but surely, Bruce learns that with absolute power comes absolute responsibility and that sometimes things happen in life for reasons that we cannot understand and which is why it is not always possible for everybody to get what they want. The film also stars Philip Baker Hall as Jack Baylor; Catherine Bell as Susan Ortega; Lisa Ann Walter as Debbie Connelly; Noel Gugliemi; and featuring a cameo from Tony Bennett as himself.
