  • Nobody asked for this, but they should’ve

    If you like the idea of a podcast where 2 great mates talk about film and tv related topics, and if you specifically want this to be hosted by a dark haired beardy guy who likes rugby, and a red haired chap who is shorter and prefers football, then Unequal Sequel is out there. If you want another Podcast that fits this description, but you weren’t going to ask for it, then boy, have I got a recommendation for you.

  • A Must-Listen for Movie Lovers and want a great laugh!

    Great podcast! Okay, real talk! This is exactly the kind of chaos I never knew I needed. Ian and Graham are absolute legends when it comes to digging up the most random Top 3 lists and somehow making them ridiculously entertaining. It’s like sitting at the pub with your funniest friends who happen to know way too much about movies.

  • Surprisingly Addictive

    Even though “nobody asked,” this is exactly the kind of content I didn’t know I needed. The podcast delivers a clever mix of pop culture, obscure trivia, and just the right amount of chaos. Every episode feels like hanging out with your funniest friends, and it never fails to brighten my day. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys sharp wit, unpredictable fun and a love of all things Midsommar. Five stars!
