One Direction took a different direction when they were joined by the cast of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues including Saturday Night Live host Paul Rudd for a rendition of Afternoon Delight. There was a huge reception for Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson as they walked on to the NBC set. "You've got your boy band, well I've brought my man band," Rudd said as his Anchorman 2 co-stars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and David Koechner joined him to form "Nine Direction".

We've got another blend of talent for you with The Hungover Games, which combines the narratives of The Hunger Games and The Hangover. The trailer follows four men at a party who wake up on their way to a battle to the death and it also pokes fun at Carrie, Ted and Willy Wonka.

Staying with the film theme, Sesame Street: Lord of the Crumbs is a Lord of the Rings parody which features a monster called Gobble. A far more terrifying prospect is the monster in the new Godzilla movie, which is due to be released next May. Directed by Gareth Edwards, it stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston.

What would happen if Doctor Who met Sherlock? We have a great mash-up that features the BBC's ratings winners in the Tardis. Finally we've got a couple of festive offerings for you this week. Grumpy Cat, Colonel Meow, Oskar the Blind Cat, Nala Cat, and Hamilton the Hipster Cat feature in a Christmassy video and there's a heartening tale from WestJet which played Santa to some of its passengers. Enjoy!
