# Episode #44 – Knowing

Combine the number-based thrills of The Number 23 with the Nicholas-Cage-sees-the-future thrills of Next and what do you get? We discuss [Knowing](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/). Meanwhile Dan reveals his competing film “Number Quest,” Stuart reveals his knowledge of afterlife mythologies, and Elliott reveals the Egypt-born, Australian-raised Alex Proyas’ surprisingly French accent.
