URN

Not a happy podcast but a required one. Dom and Ciaran discuss the state of Forest and Chris Hughton's departure from the City Ground. The boys also discuss Ciaran's first experiences at the City Ground... We mention the word miserable a lot in this podcast! 

Week 1 review and Week 2 preview

Join April and Dom as they recap week 1 of the NFL season, and how they surprisingly both got their 'for sure' picks correct! There's discussion on the CGI panther in Carolina and the new games are back - with kind of new names - can you do better at home? Finally, a look ahead to week 2 and who could do well.

Week 2 kicks off thursday night with the giants at Washington before the main slate as always Sunday at 6pm.

We're back for a show covering two animated family films you can watch right now on Netflix, 'The Willoughbys' & 'The Mitchells vs. the Machines'. Also, with the 20th Anniversary of one of our absolute favourite films (and if you're anything like us, definitely one of your favourites too!) we couldn't help but talk about it so we chat about 2001's 'A Knight's Tale'.

There's a lot of animated films out there to choose from and it's quite hard to separate some of the blander choices from the truly worthwhile stuff but our two choices showcase massive energy, unconventional visuals and true heart that really make them stand out. From the surreal and dark yet expansive and bubbly Willoughbys to the tech-obsessed, star-studded sugar rush of The Mitchells vs. the Machines, we're celebrating some family films that aim higher than they really needed to and really pull it off!

Of course, we couldn't pass up on the chance of talking about A Knight's Tale for its 20th anniversary, a film that's really close to our hearts and joyously breaks the mould for sports movies & period pieces with anachronistic glee! We talk about the amazing performances that really bring the film together from Shannyn Sossamon, Heath Ledger and of course the magnifcent Paul Bettany. With Bowie on the soundtrack & Chaucer as an inspiration (and main character!), what could go wrong!

As per the usual gremlins in the wires, the last few minutes of the show were missing from the recording but we'd wrapped up the reviews & recommendations so it only means a rather abrupt end rather than a technological catastrophe (no PAL Labs robot takeover here!).

Hope you enjoy!
