The Last King Podcast

And capping off the Oscar talk for 2017, the boys go back through the years and talk about the snubs, the travesties and the films that didn't even deserve to be given the title of "Best Picture". From as far back as Annie Hall beating Star Wars to how the whole award system itself is basically a popularity contest among industry heads. Also some videogame first impressions with the latest from Team Ninja's recent effort Nioh.

In this slightly more personal episode, the guys reflect on the passing of those we celebrate in 2016. From the loss of our favourite princess to other royalties such as Prince and the Thin White Duke. We try to keep things light-hearted and avoid dwelling too much, instead recalling all the magical moments and memories that we hold dear. And paying tribute to those who left an indelible mark on us and pop culture forever.
