Well if it isn't our old friend, the LEITMOTIF. 

Kind of amazing we haven't done this one before so fair play to debuting guest co-host Seán Connolly - a man you may know from online broadcasting behemoth The TRY Channel, where he puts in a Herculean shift both in front of and behind the camera - for suggesting it. 

But what is a leitmotif? Why, it's a musical theme associated with a character in media such as films, television, and video games, of course. As such, the boys duel it out accordingly, shouting out their favourite individual pop culture signatures from the rooftops. 

Beforehand, a busy news section awaits. Also waiting for you - our latest episode of the NO ENCORE Album Club. Head on over to Patreon.com/noencore to sign up and listen. 

ACT ONE (3:03): Steve Albini RIP, Kendrick vs Drake goes into overdrive, Macklemore continues to be a hero, and the 'Bambie Thug and Eurovision' debate finally arrives at its inevitable conclusion - it's the news.
