Block-Busted

It's been three days since I killed Max. I had to do it. He was hell bent on vengeance and there was no other way. But damn... his screams of rage fill my every moment, waking or sleeping. I found a new host to replace him, Jazz. She shows promise but in the back of my mind... I can't help but wonder if she shall fall to the same fate.

- Entry from Mitch's Diary dated 10/12/2023

Mitch is joined by a new host this week, Jazz, as they square up against against two different fight clubs. They battle their way through a corporatised and commercialised late 90s America after accidentally joining a Fight Club (1999) thinking it was a kickboxing gym. Then they find themselves in the early 2020s where they join a different fight club thinking, once again, it's a kickboxing gym, only to find themselves embroiled in an attempt at getting laid orchestrated by a bunch of Bottoms (2023).

Max and Mitch think they're going on a lovely holiday to France, but little do they know they've arrived at a bit of a tumultuous time. 

Watch them as they listen to the people sing, and then ask them to repeat what they sang because they couldn't hear properly, in Les Misérables (2012). Unable to understand what's going on, they accidentally bumble their way into the French Military and find themselves fighting for the glory of France for their Short King (or is he an Emperor) in Napoleon (2023).

Boy, there we go killing children again. It's a good day to be a part of this super fascist and not democratic at all nation. And, what's this? Our weekly mandated poddie listening sesh? I can't wait to hear what definitely not held at gun-point hosts Max and Mitch have to say about some films.

Join Max and Mitch this week as they try and live their most dramatic high school lives and kill all their classmates in Battle Royale (2000). Once they graduate from high school, follow their less than meteoric rise through university and, eventually, political office (it's as interesting as it sounds) in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023).

Call me the Weeknd because I am blinded by the lights! Now prepare to be deafened by this latest poddie!  

Max and Mitch get no sleep as they try to leave the drug game in Light Sleeper (1992). Then, they go on an intergalactic journey to shoot some lasers at some bad guys in Marvel’s The Marvels (2023).

"Buy, Buy, Sell, Sell!" Is that the New York Stock Exchange? No - It's this week's episode of Block-Busted!

Mitch and Max try their hands at getting rich quick while doing nothing but talking. First, they have a go at shorting mortgage bonds (whatever that means) in The Big Short (2015). If that wasn't enough, they jump to Reddit for financial advice on Gamestop in Dumb Money (2023).

I'm not a huge fan of this restaurant. The pizza is too greasy and the animatronics are too haunted. But at least the poddie they play over the speakers is... bearable.

Max and Mitch find themselves employed at two different haunted family restaurants. They try and have a workplace gossip sesh with Nicolas Cage but he ain't saying anything while they clean away at Willy's Wonderland (2021). Ask them any question about the lore at their second workplace, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. Will they know the answer? Unlikely but they will make up something funny as they spend Five Nights at Freddy's (2023).

There is black gold in them there hills! And beige tin in this here podcast!

Max and Mitch strap on their top hats as they let the spirit of capitalism take them. Watch them neglect their child and slap priests in There Will Be Blood (2007). Then, marry for money and have their butts paddled by Robert DiNero in Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).

You're in the woods, you hear spooky singing, and then two dudes covered head to toe in mud take you to their forest bungalow. There is a sign outside that reads 'No Spooky Girls Allowed' and they say "Don't worry, you're safe now". But then, they hand you some earbuds. 

"Want to listen to our podcast?"

The true horrors have just begun!

Max and Mitch buckle on their brave pants as they face down a variety of Spooky Girls this week. They learn about the wonders of puberty in Carrie (1976) and then how not to talk to their long dead mum's in the Exorcist: Believer.
