We are back to cover The Amazing Race 35 as we talk about the most divisive episode yet. Jarrod and Rossi sit down to question the intention of a midsummer inspired challenge, share concern for Rob and Corey’s standing in the race, and debate whether a bus is a subway. We also express joy over this insane race for the pit stop, attempt to offer personal experiences with Sweden, and count how many...

Another week of 24 action to come down your speakers right now as we attempt to continue through the dreaded season 6 by looking closely at episode 8 of that season, 1pm-2pm . How much of an improvement over last week is this episode? Why are we happy to have some more Fayed this week? How far fetched is the White House story this week, particularly with Diet Coke Rob Lowe? How fast are planes in...

Tick it into another week of 24 action as we move into the 7th episode of season 6 and recap 12pm-1pm . Why is this a struggle to get through? Why can we just not deal with ‘Days of our Bauers?’ What do we think of the Presidential storyline this week? Why is Karen in this episode? Why is she mean to Bill? Why is Morris not good at his job? Why is there a grave already dug in the ground for Jack a...

It’s been a while since we last brought you an interview from the world of 24 but today we finally break that duck as we sit down and chat with the incredible Adoni Maropis to chat about his time on 24 playing the evil Abu Fayed as well as his esteemed acting career!

What line in this episode should’ve been said by the Pre...

It’s been a couple of months since our last SPOILER FREE review but we’re back to go over the latest MCU entry that is The Marvels . Is this a movie we surprisingly enjoyed? Does it deserve the hate it’s getting at the moment? Has Ben finally jumped on the Brie Larson train that Colin has been driving for some time now? How great is Iman Vellani & Teyonah Parris? Is this the best cinema adapta...

It feels like we just started out BACK TO THE FUTURE month but sadly it’s about to come to a close as we wrap it up by going back to the wild west and recap the 1990 sequel that is Back To The Future Part III ! Why is Colin on the defence train this week? Why are we excited to talk about ZZ Top? Does this movie have the best score out of the three of them? Would this movie have worked if the plot...

Well it was fun while it lasted right? 24 being good? Well, now you can try and forget that because we're into THE episode that perhaps made the show jump the shark more than any other episode as we recap the fifth episode of season 6, 10am-11am . Why does this episode start off so good? Why does Colin not find this episode as bad? Why at the 27 minute mark does this episode go off a cliff?  How d...

We started in epic style with our BACK TO THE FUTURE month last week and now we're back to get to the sequel that perhaps doesn't get the love it deserves, as we go back to 1989 and recap the classic that is Back To The Future Part II !

After a bit of a dud month in October, what better way to bring you back some excitement as we bring you an epic month that we know you’re going to love! That’s right, after way too long of talking about it, it’s time to finally get into BACK TO THE FUTURE MONTH! YAY!

Twirl your mustache, it’s time to listen to Rossi and Jarrod break down episode 5 of The Amazing Race 35. In this episode we debate who the most likely target for the u-turn is, laugh about Andrea and Malaina suddenly wearing hats, and wonder how a simple “no” was the best quote of the episode. We also make sure to talk about that epic race to the pit stop, question if this episode really needed 9...

It’s another week of 24 and we’re into the third episode of season 6, which means things are still good right? You’re about to find out as we recap 8am-9am !

It’s been one interesting month and it’s time to bring it all to a close as we bring our first ever DEAD DUCK month to an end by looking at one of the longest movies ever made, 1900 from 1976.

How is a six hour movie actually fairly entertaining with ve...

We’re back where we left off as Rossi and Jarrod cover the second half of this extra-long, extra-exciting leg of the Amazing Race 35.

We also question the fairness of all the local market challenges, debate the edgic of the teams, and co...

Our second week of season 6 of 24 is here as we once again have another decent episode to bring you as we recap the episode, 7am-8am . How does this episode compare to last week? Are we a bit intrigued over Jack’s change in demeanour, although very impressed with one scene around this? How excited are we to talk about Regina King and Harry Lennix? How excited to talk once again about Palmer Drama?...

It’s our penultimate DEAD DUCK MONTH episode as we get biblical up in here by going back to 2014 and look at the movie that is Exodus: Gods and Kings .

Are we excited to see Aaron Paul? Does this movie have a very simple plot...

Excuse us, we’re just out of towners here. Rossi and Jarrod break down episode 3 of The Amazing Race 35.

Well after the highs of season 5 of 24 , we are now at the dreaded season 6 as we continue our recap series. But is this season really that bad? Can we defend it? And how will we survive covering it? Let’s find out by starting at the very beginning by recapping episode 1 of season 6, 6am-7am ! Why are we heavily invested early on with some of the storylines? How many plot holes can we already nit...

Another week of DEAD DUCK MONTH is here as we go way back to the year that is 1968 and go over the cult classic that is Barbarella ! And given this is a movie that neither Colin or Ben enjoyed and also didn’t get, and also were so disappointed at the dead duck in this movie, it’ll be so quick that you can listen to it super quickly. So that also means barely anything will be written here too. So l...

We've reached the end of a short but eventful season of The Continental, and now's for the last time we'll talk about whether or not the first spinoff 'From the World of John Wick' worked. Did Mel Gibson live up to our expectations as a villain? Which fight scene was our favourite? Which lead and side characters were our favourites? Which cast member are we sad to have missed on America's Got Tale...
