I Understood That Reference!

Beyond humour, beyond dignity, beyond your wildest imagination! The distant future of the year 2019. I understood that reference: The animated movie. Does Prime die?

As both their voices face disintegration from a wedding on the weekend, Rob goes solo, Ross gets to talk about one of his favourite movies, and banter ensues.

All the big ticket Disney news, box office figure and more are discussed. GI joe 2 is bizarrely on the way, No mans sky beyond is out n VR and Keanu Reeves may be joining the MCU! And the return of beloved (by Ross) segment Make this from These – where Rob has to guess a film’s story from just the trailer, a small synopsis and his knowledge of some other movies.

All this packaged in typical Irish wit and banter, with movie references galore!

The title of comedy podcast comes home as Ross tells puns and Rob banishes him to the top of the stairs.

Ross is happy as he gets to talk about comics for a bit with House of X and the Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover issues being released. Other topics include a huge recap of some San Diego comic-con trailers such as Top Gun Maverick and The Kingsman along with all the Marvel announcements such as Thor Love and Thunder, The Eternals, some Marvel TV talk, Back Widow, Doctor Strange 2, Blade and a quick chat about the Witcher.

All this packaged in typical Irish wit and banter, with movie references galore!

It's finally here, the long awaited, long-form, long shot of an episode we've been hinting at over the last few episodes. It's "Leave it there folks!". Rob and Ross dive into some much beloved franchises and series that should have just quit while they were ahead! More often than not, the subsequent releases we discuss lost the key elements that made them such beloved successes in the first place! There are SO MANY examples of this (I mean, Titanic 2....for heaven's sake), so we only cover a handful of obvious examples. But there's still plenty of variety in there to enjoy!

Also worth noting, we (meaning Rob) ran into some recording difficulties, so the audio is a little 'challenging' at parts, but hopefully it's not too much of a distraction. And as always, we put time stamps below!
