Inspired by Rob Bottin's incredible work bringing Darkness to life, the pair each bring five picks to create a combined top 10, running from five down to two, with honourable mentions along the way before revealing their individual number ones. From  The Thing and  An American Werewolf in London  to Terminator 2 and Mrs Doubtfire , the discussion celebrates the artists who transformed actors into unforgettable characters long before CGI became the norm. The guys also explore the pioneers behind the make-up, including  Rick Baker ,  Stan Winston ,  Rob Bottin  and  John Chambers , debate whether practical effects still outperform CGI, and uncover one astonishing transformation from a little-known 1930s film that has to be seen to be believed. Next week: It's time to Rewind back to 1989 as GB introduces AJ to Tim Burton's Batman, starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger!
