Cinema Is Life

Back after a week break and so much on our plate for this podcast. The football gods smiled on the Patriots once again as another iffy rule plays out in their favor and an opponent brain farts at a crucial moment. Meanwhile, Nick Foles is doing his best to get Eagles fans to say, “Carson who?” We discuss the latest rumors of Floyd Mayweather stepping into the Octagon and touch on the upcoming matchup between Cyborg and Holly Holm. For those of you interested in the Last Jedi, we give you our brief spoiler-free reactions to the film before using the last portion of the show to talk openly about all the key moments. You’ve been warned!

This week saw a lot of conflict in our podcast topics. Suspensions in the NFL, insane knockouts and fights in the UFC and a beast of a performance on the silver screen. It's Justin, Neal and the birthday boy Gilly in studio this week.

Rivalry week did a number on the top of the college football rankings with Bama and Miami falling. Neal and Justin discuss how the top four will shake out when there are legitimately five teams deserving of a playoff berth at the end of the day. Chris gives his thoughts on Michael Bisping's ill-advised three week turnaround to fight (and get KO'd by) Kelvin Gastelum. We then preview UFC 218 before moving on to gush over the trailer for next year's Avengers: Infinity War. It's as close to a perfect trailer as you'll see for an ensemble action flick - even if Justin thinks Thanos looks a little weird.

Episode 100! Jeff's not in a celebratory mood though. How can he be as a Skins fan? Chris and Neal follow the UFC to the other side of the world so you dont have to. Justin tells us all we need to know about Justice League. It's two hours of the audio goodness you've come to expect.

Neal, Justin and Chris are in this week to talk about Zeke's suspension, Tyrod's benching, Conor's crashing of the cage, UFC Norfolk's live experience, Justice League's expectations and the Killing of a Sacred Deer. Also, there is a spoiler-filled discussion of Thor: Ragnarok that begins at the 1:04:10 mark and ends at 1:13:13.

Another week of football action and Jeff has been suckered back in by the Skins and the hope that springs from a gutsy win. Neal and Chris recap the madness of UFC 217’s three title changes. Justin and the boys discuss the latest Hollywood scandals and movies then style and profile with a review of the ESPN 30 for 30 on Ric Flair. Woooooooo!!!!

It's a football focused episode featuring Neal and Jeff this week. Chris and Justin had some unexpected scheduling conflicts so we did a deep dive on the pigskin action. Lots to talk about from the big trades of the week to the release of the first round of college football playoff rankings. Get it while it's hot.

Ep. 96 - Feaster Famine, F-bombs from Conor and Fassy's Snowman by Neal Turnage

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone on Sunday. Just when you thought no team's title hopes could be hurt more by injury, the Boston Celtics' Gordon Hayward says , "hold my beer." We talk about the repercussions of these injuries as well as the action from the week that was on the gridiron. In the world of cinema, we review The Foreigner, Happy Death Day, and the NetFlix original Gerald's Game. Chris joins us late to talk about the week's MMA news and to give a quick preview of UFC Fight Night 118: Cerrone vs Till from Gdansk, Poland.

A bad week for the NFL, a historic night for the UFC, a monumental failure on the pitch and a fantastic continuation of a beloved classic. We've got takes on all of it in this week's episode. Catch Neal, Justin and Jeff breaking it down. Thanks!
