  • I don't know if they're doing a bit but i have to correct them in Rick Riordan's name. It's pronounced like Reerdan not Ree or Dan.

    If it has turned out to be a bit i retroactively totally knew that and this is actually a bit.

  • The best

    Hands down the best British political podcast out right now. Thoroughly enjoyed their interviews with Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. These guys get it. At the end of the day I like to put these guys on and hate the world 10/10

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

593 The Batman 2 Villain Speculation & Gen V Season 2
Q: What do you think the story was?
It's been no time at all. It's about the students at Goodalcon University or God U. That's a metaphor.
570 Black Mirror Season 7
Q: What are your thoughts on the impact of nostalgia in film and television today?
It's a double-edged sword; while it brings in audiences, it risks reliance on past successes without originality.
Captain America: Civil War - Caravan Of Garbage
Q: Is it Captain America or is it Tony Stark?
It's Captain America.
554 Moana 2
Q: Will it be good?
I think it would be interesting if like he went to live with them on the island.
554 Moana 2
Q: Do you think you'll love the movie Moana 2?
