Could Waiting... be made today?

Restaurant staff will probably tell you this comedy is more like a documentary... everyone else might wonder what all the fuss is about.

This week, Marc, Darren and Paul revisit the 2005 cult comedy to ask whether it still works for modern audiences.

Is it simply gross-out humour? Does it capture restaurant life better than any other film? And could a movie like this even be made today?

Plus, they uncover the details you might have missed, Paul's Facts of the Day, and Waiting... takes its place in the Legend League.
