We wanted the episode picture to be this image of the Dancing Satyr Group but that would probably get us in trouble with podcast platforms. You can find it here if you like naked creatures (https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1992.352) and then you can look at that while we talk about: Ed's history as a movie soldier, buying advice for Reid's Steam wishlist and the current top sellers, Grand Theft Auto VI jokes, and so much more. Also, the country this time is Benin and I'm so tired of that list of countries.

It's a new episode and a brand new opportunity to talk about stuff like: a cartoon we remember, the country of Belize, what Ed was playing during 9/11, King Charles XCX, and some sweaty and stinky videogames.

We're talking about Belgium this time and JCVD and incredibly accurate Bond villain memories, Canadian Bond casting, the joy of small spaces, having lots of limbs, and more.
