Low Blows

It's time for one of our favourite traditions of the year as Ger & David Kent of the Irish Examiner are back to preview the Super Bowl as well as looking through the big sports stories of the moment.

Will the Chiefs win 3 in a row or can Ger's beloved Eagles prove everyone wrong? Who has the coaching advantage? Where will the game be won/lost? Who are they picking & what bets should you be looking at for Sunday? It's all discussed.

They also look back at the Six Nations opening weekend & what it tells us about the rest of the tournament, ask who should be favourites in the new League of Ireland season and discuss if there's any good reason to watch the new Darts Premier League on a weekly basis?

Plus, following the bonkers Dallas Mavericks trade to the LA Lakers, a look at if any transfers in sports history can compare.

It's somehow the end of January already and Ger & Tom are back with much to discuss as they look back at the month that was in cinema!

They agree on the movie of the month but disagree about if Nosferatu is bringing the vampire movie back. Can Tom back up his assertion that 'anyone can do a Bob Dylan' impression like Chalamet? Which 00's icon won the month between Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman? Plus what are their hot takes fresh off the Oscar nominations being revealed?

You can read the NY Times article about laughing in the cinema referenced on the show HERE.
