Modern Escapism

Occasionally someone will make something that is amazing, that is one of the greatest things you've ever encountered that, for one reason or another, you never, EVER want to experience it again.

This week we're talking about One & Done, the media we've experienced that we adored but never ever want to watch, play or listen to again. Be they horrifying, depressing or harrowing, we break down our favourites.

Before all that, we discussed:

• Britney vs Spears
• Metroid Dread
• Halloween Kills
• Spider-Men. Or Spider-Mans... All the Spidey films

• No Time To Die
• Battlefield 4
• Genesis
• Marvel's What If?

There's nothing worse than enjoying something, heading to enjoy the follow up and realising it's GARBAGE! 

Some things have a slow, gentle decline in quality, but this week we're talking about films, tv shows and games that had a huge, massive, ridiculous drop in quality. Immediate drops in quality. 

We get animated.

But before that, we talked about:

• Biggie's day out on a boat
• Eastward
• Malignant
• Deathloop

We all love a franchise. But not every franchise is made equal, not all achieve the success of the MCU. This week we're talking about failed franchises, either ones that started well and failed to uphold that strong start, or ones with potential that were bad out of the gate. Whether its commercial, critical or artistic failures, we've got you covered.

But before all that we discussed:

• Tales Of Arise
• Emma Radacanu's victory at the US Open
• AEW All Out
• Fallout 4
• The War Of The Worlds: The Immersive Experience

Macguffins. Fun to say, impossible to define.

Well, for us, anyway. This week we're talking about our favourite and least favourite macguffins: items/concepts/objects that push a narrative forward that ultimately mean nothing or very little to the story of a piece of media. 

Yeah... it's complicated.

Before all that we talked about:

• Scratch Bastid's Birthday
• Alien
• Crown Trick
• Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings

There's so much good media out there, but for some reason some absolutely brilliant works fall under the radar, are misunderstood or are just plain unappreciated. This week, we're talking about the things we love that were CRIMINALLY underrated. 

But before that, we talked about:

• Jolt
• Battlebots
• Boss Level
• Eldest Souls
• The Last Of Us Part II

(Don't worry, Deejay is fine. Oodles is just an idiot)

It's time. You've all been asking for it and it's finally time to talk about it.

THE. BEST. BADDIES.

That's right, we're going in hard talking about our favourite villains, vagabonds and baddies. It's good to be bad.

But before all that, we discussed:

• Wool by Hugh Howey
• The Beastie Boys Story
• Telltale's The Walking Dead
• AEW and the return of CM Punk
• Brand New Cherry Flavour
