Modern Escapism

There's a fine line between a goodie and a baddie, and that line mostly consists of jerks. This week, we're talking about our favourite TV jerks. Characters who aren't evil, or could even be called baddies, but instead, jackasses, arseholes and dickheads. People you hate, yet love.

But before all that, we discussed:

• Gears 5: Hivebusters
• The Incredible Hulk
• Sweet Tooth
• Project Hail Mary
• In The Heights

The time has come, dear listener. Join us as we lead you into the world of Erethria for our Dungeons & Dragons Campaign!

As we start our adventure, our heroes from Under Grasswell Manor, Stigveld, Calbo Greymerkin and T'Reble O'Clef find themselves far from where they believe they should be, shackled and left in the dark. Their only hope? A tiefling and a cat with more to them than meets the eye...

This story is a labour of love for us and we cannot wait for you to join us on our journey.

It's often the case that we can judge things before we know anything about them. It's fine, don't worry, we all do it. This week our Modern Escapees are discussing the phenomenon of judging a book by it's cover. 

We talk about films, games, and even countries we've judged harshly before falling in love with them.

But before all that, we discussed:

• Knockout City
• Army Of The Dead
• Brightburn
• Biggie: I've Got A Story To Tell

But before all that we discussed:

• Godzilla vs Kong
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition
• Final Fantasy VII
• Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Are you excited? Are you looking forward to this episode? Could you say... you're HYPED?!

Well, unlike this podcast, the hype doesn't always deliver. Join our misaligned malcontents as they discuss times that something was hyped up just a little too much and the end result couldn't live up to their lofty expectations.

But before that, we discussed:

• Final Fantasy VII
• Harley Quinn
• Resident Evil Village
• Oodles' night on the tiles.
