Less Than Experts

This episode was never meant to happen. An emergency addition gone awry, it is speculated that the episode was willed into existence by forces beyond our comprehension. The origin of the episode remains, to this day, a mystery.

The Fantastic 4 reboot came out and wasn't very well received, surprising nobody. On the plus side, there's going to be an X-Men tie-in TV series and it might genuinely be good! Elsewhere, Jesus stands accused of plunging the world into eternal darkness...and it's up to the Great Mouse Detective of 2015 to prove his innocence!

Steam's shat the bed again, with a security gaff and what could very possibly be the first scam product designed to cheat the refunds system. Josh witnesses the first big argument in the comments of his blog, and wants to quickly move on to talking about penises and how to achieve enlightenment. Elsewhere, Mafia III has had a trailer released and it looks pretty swish. Stephen Amell reveals Toby's secret identity and exposes the core theme of the podcast, and the podcast Zubat undertakes his first official assignment.

It...it's all falling apart...everything...

The Penguin is back in the ploorzoor as Josh and Toby continue their journey through Southampton, with only upturned canoes to guard them. Toby admits to being one of the Paradox Brothers and a piece of shit while Josh brags about his dragons and takes cheap shots with fire. Equally, Arkham Origins was mishandled and Toby isn't a good doctor. There's more trouble from Stephen Amell, whose new criminal career has found him and Josh at crossed purposes, and Josh becomes the podcast's anime rival character with the help of his jacket.

In a rare turn of events, Josh and Toby talk about DC for longer than they expected. In this cavalcade of very specific banter, Toby reveals a candidate for the identity of the Arkham Knight that would have made way more sense, the Scarecrow doesn't do much scaring, and the boys realise just how ridiculous the Batman universe is - a revelation not shared by WB, as the third instalment of the trilogy has gone all grimdark and serious. The Suicide Squad movie's still a thing, and the Joker can't talk properly because of all the metal in his mouth. The Joker foul-ups keep on coming, as we learn that Gotham's also having a crack at the character - and apparently he's already been in the show...thus giving him a name and backstory; the equivalent of high treason in the Batman world...and also focusing on him before both his transformation and the existence of Batman himself, entirely voiding the point of the character and making him interchangeable with any other villain...

I don't know what they were thinking, but I somehow know it's going to be really...really...bad.

Josh and Toby talk about PT and Steam for a while before Josh decides he's sick of hearing about both of those things and they just start talking about yugioh cards. Because the only thing every other podcast Josh listens to hadn't covered was whether or not man-eater bug was OP. Also in the show: Toby finds Josh's HMV card and Stephen Amell starts larping in a very obstructive way.

An election special turned retrospective by the relentless march of the cancerous despair clawing and eroding the sanity of our host, and never has this tragic degradation been more evident. Listen as Josh tries to hold his shattered mind together for long enough to hold a conversation with Tom about the politics that happened and the Star Wars that the movies will be doing, and weeps as he falls into an abyss of grape genocide and 90's scarecrows, and realise beyond all doubt that a part of this man has died. But worse than that, Jared Leto's Joker has tattoos and it just kind of doesn't work.

Toby and Josh wrap up getting carried away talking about DC. The OG Blokes conclude by discussing fascism, some Marvel stuff and Google's inability to be interested in Will Smith.
