It's all in the family on this week's episode of Hottest 100s and 1000s. We are exiting the swinging 60s in style with a brand-new mixed bag of faux-siblings, method actors, puppets, animated bands, weirdly-specific gunpoint threats and large hats.

You'd have thought we'd have had enough of staying at home by now, but honestly, what's out there? Awkward discos? Festivals that are either too hot and/or too cold? Towns? Nah, too crazy.
Why deal with that when you can just stay at home, put the kettle on, watch the Matrix, make friends with a rat... now that's entertainment.
...We're still cool.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a jaguar in that opening bit of 2001: a space odyssey, right? He messes up one of the dudes in the ape suit, which i always wondered about because there were definitely no special effects used. Some dude in an ape suit straight up got attacked by a big cat. Maybe several. There would have to have been multiple takes... I mean, incredible movie, but Kubrick was a bit of a jerk, surely...
Oh, right - welcome to the long-awaited return of the Great Pod! After...

Yeah let's talk metrics. Like can you really measure pop success in sales? Canadian success in ice hockey sponsorships? How do you know if a song is emo? How much cruelty is enough? Which sensei is the winner? Whether a roar is too big?
And which podcast is worth five stars?
These questions and more in SUPER REQUEST 4!
Thanks to William, MPFreely, Sensei for the Win, Liam, and Molloy for these ones.

Big thanks to aldburg5000, Vignettesnextbigthing and Tranquilbez for these.

There's one more episode of Super Request to come! Sad to have missed out? We're not saying never on some more eps coming later -...
