Ep31 | BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE, KAOS & THE RINGS OF POWER S2 13.09.2024

Due to some technical difficulties, episode 31 was delayed a week - you can blame Adam's laptop for that. You may also notice that Adam's audio isn't spectacular this week, you can just blame Adam himself for that. That kid got a First in his degree if you can believe it (and he claims he didn't bribe the chancellors...) ANYWAY, in this episode, the boys chat about the sequel to Be...

And this weeks guest co-host Euan Walsh rev...

Episode 27 - DVD Nostalgia and Adam's Mum 09.08.2024

Episode 26 - DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE SPOILER REVIEW plus New MCU Plans! 07.08.2024

There's also a rant about Allelujah, a forgotten, baffling movie from la...

Episode 25 - TWISTERS, THE BEAR SEASON 3 and DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE 02.08.2024

And the boys also get into a SPOILER FREE chat about Deadpool & Wolverine , the only release from M...

After watching the finale of The Acolyte, Adam and Alfie gathered on Wednesday morning to express their thoughts and feelings towards the most divisive Star Wars project since The Last Jedi.
