New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, Chris Sanders' and Dean DeBlois' How to Train Your Dragon. On the island of Berk, the Viking settlers have found themselves engaged in a war against dragons spanning literal generations. Hiccup, the son of the town chieftain, struggles to find his place in a community that doesn't value his unique strengths and attributes - he wonders whether he will even be manly enough to hunt and kill dragons. However, a chance encounter with a fallen dragon named Toothless leads Hiccup to question everything that he thinks he knows about dragons. At time of recording, it was ranked 198th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
