Modern Escapism

We did it. An episode so big we had to split it in two!

Join us for our office Christmas party which we broadcast live on Twitch. This is reasonably unedited, completely chaotic and absolutely alcohol and tangent filled.It's been a marvellous year for us and we hope you've enjoyed our extended ramblings.
Have a merry, safe Christmas and a banging New Year.

We'll see you all on the other side!

The good things in life are always good... right?

Not always. Something you THINK they're good. Or you remember them as being better as what they were. You just put those Rose Tinted Glasses on and you enjoy the dopamine memories.

But what if you're wrong? Well this week, we're talking about the things people look at through rose tinted glasses. It gets heated.

But before that, we discussed:

• Loop Hero
• The Game Awards 2021
• Halo Infinite
• Divinity: Original Sin

If you could be a hero or a villain for a day, who would you be? This week, our patron SuperNattyCat asked us that very question. So we answered.

And as Gadget is away on holiday this week, we roped in the Irish Cream himself, Deadbeatpunk to bring his own particular brand of filth to our humble little podcast.

Before all that, we discussed:

• Mr Inbetween
• Monster Hunter World
• Tokyo Ghoul
• The Show Must Go On
• King Richard

*SPOILERS*

Hello True Believers. The MCU is back on Disney+ with its latest TV offering of Hawkeye. As they did with Loki, Stig & Oodles are here to discuss and dissect the first two episodes  "Never Meet Your Heroes" & "Hide and Seek" that launched this week.

They discuss Clint & Kates relationship, The Tracksuit Mafia, Lucky the Pizza Dog, Echo, potential big bads and as is tradition throw in some wild guesses on where the series is going, as well as some random MCU musings. Oh and of course Rogers the Musical.

But before all that, we discussed:

• Elden Ring
• Ghostbusters: Afterlife
• Hellbound
• Tick Tick... BOOM

WE MET UP! FINALLY! Well... 4/5s of us did...

But regardless, casting this pod from our very own Podcastle in a secret location, we set about settling another great debate we absolutely do not have the authority, skill or panache to settle, but we did it anyway: What is the greatest film of all time!

It was tense. It was brutal. There was sabotage. There was alcohol. But we did it.

But before all that, we discussed:
 

• Dragon Quest XI (Again)
• The Last of Us Part 2 (Again, again)
• Skyrim (OH GOD, AGAIN)
• Forza Horizon 5
• Red Notice

When most people talk about Video games they talk about the graphics, gameplay or story. But no one really talks about the eldritch art of videogame soundtracks. Well this week, we've roped in an expert to help us talk about them, famed composer, producer and all round good egg, Ross Tregenza who has worked on games such as Timesplitters 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Deathloop, to name a few.

But before that, we discussed:

• Tormented Souls
• The Last Of Us Part 2
• The Harder They Fall
• Last Night In Soho
• The Lost Boys

You can check out Ross' work over on his website: www.rosstregenza.com

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!!!

Well, it isn't any more, but we're not good with Linear time so we recorded our Halloween special on Halloween itself. This week we're talking about the media that we find scariest. The most horrendous, bone chilling things that keep us up at night.

But before that, we discussed:

• Dune
• Metroid Dread
• Verotika
• Oddworld SoulStorm

They say there's nothing original in this world and this week, we're gonna prove it. We're talking shameless, unoriginal, unmitigated rip offs. Media that is just obviously taking from something more popular/better/older.

But before that we talked about:

• Venom 2
• Dune
• Hell Let Loose
• The Morning Show
• French Dispatch
