Big Boss Battle — Big Boss Babble

Mini Boss Babble are smaller, one topic cuts from our otherwise extensive weekly podcast.In this, the third part of our second Big Boss Babble podcast, we discussed a massive change to the Lord of the Ring lore in Shadow of War's Shelob — who is a giant, scary spider no-more, but instead a random video game babe. Classy.Understandably, as some of us were playing games in the 80s and 90s —when we weren't doing wicked ollies or whatever on our skatebaords— it all feels a bit like a timewarp, although not an entirely welcome one. Much like if those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles apple pizzas came back.Jorge led the discussion while Terry, Toby, Stefan and Dann did kickflips and stuff.*Please excuse this week’s lack of proper intro and outro, let’s write that off as teething issues.If you’re interested in hearing the full podcast then you can check it out here.Can’t find us on your ideal podcast feed?
