We go waaaay off topic this episode! For a beer and pop-culture podcast, we end up spending way too long on the technology behind TVs and cars, but hey, if you've made it this far in the podcast series, you know we love a solid tangent!

Wowsers! So, we launch season 3, released a couple of episodes, and then the whole world got swiftly kicked in the fun-bag by COVID! Well, after Pete's moved house, and the lads have been hiding in their respective social-distancing caves, we've all decided we'll risk catching diseases (multiple!) to throw out our third Ep for the season. And while a hell of a lot has happened in-between, this epi...

We ended season 2 with a live recording, so what better to hit 2020 by opening with one too! Live from one of our favourite haunts, Uncle Hops in Newtown, Ben, Tom, Dan and Pete cover Star Wars Ep9, the Witcher series on Netflix, and a range of other random stuff while imbibing copious amounts of alcohol. Oh, and if you want to watch the stupidity instead of just listen to it, search for the new P...

Recorded live from the awesome charity event hosted by the Australian Brewery for the Rouse Hill brigade of the Rural Fire Service (particularly relevant with all the fires raging throughout NSW and the rest of Australia at the moment), we get stuck into all things Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, our pre-release thoughts on Mandalorian, we revisit Chris' fear of heights and what Pete calls the "dism...

So, with Uncle Dan sitting out this week due to a crazy schedule, the rest of us have been left to run amok without the usual scolding and being warned to get away from the edge.

So, most of this episode has been devoted to Ben's cunning plan to fix the DC movies and bring them some much needed love, and we've gotta say, he's got a cracker of a plan! Now we just need some movie execs to hear the podcast and steal the ideas...honestly, we'd be okay if you do, just make some good movies!!!! We also cover the Hellboy reboot, Alita: Battle Angel and a couple of other smaller t...

We spend some time talking comics, our all time f...

So, we set out to do an episode on all the amazing and exciting video games presented or pre-released at this year's E3 conference, but to be honest with the terrible quality of games announced this year (with a couple of exceptions), we ended up talking about just about anything BUT E3 games! Again, we have the full crew (Dan, Chris & Pete), we've been graced yet again with a very special gue...

It's a big, fat Star Wars episode!

No 7 already?!
