If you could be a hero or a villain for a day, who would you be? This week, our patron SuperNattyCat asked us that very question. So we answered. And as Gadget is away on holiday this week, we roped in the Irish Cream himself, Deadbeatpunk to bring his own particular brand of filth to our humble little podcast. Before all that, we discussed: Mr Inbetween Monster Hunter World Tokyo Ghoul The Show Must Go On King Richard You can check out Punk's podcast, WTFDYW?! at his completely family

WE MET UP! FINALLY! Well... 4/5s of us did... But regardless, casting this pod from our very own Podcastle in a secret location, we set about settling another great debate we absolutely do not have the authority, skill or panache to settle, but we did it anyway: What is the greatest film of all time! It was tense. It was brutal. There was sabotage. There was alcohol. But we did it. But before all that, we discussed: Dragon Quest XI (Again) The Last of Us Part 2 (Again, again) Skyrim (OH GOD,

Modern Escapism ·

2021/11/11

When most people talk about Video games they talk about the graphics, gameplay or story. But no one really talks about the eldritch art of videogame soundtracks. Well this week, we've roped in an expert to help us talk about them, famed composer, producer and all round good egg, Ross Tregenza who has worked on games such as Timesplitters 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Deathloop, to name a few.

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!!! Well, it isn't any more, but we're not good with Linear time so we recorded our Halloween special on Halloween itself.

Modern Escapism ·

2021/10/28

They say there's nothing original in this world and this week, we're gonna prove it. We're talking shameless, unoriginal, unmitigated rip offs.

There's nothing worse than enjoying something, heading to enjoy the follow up and realising it's GARBAGE! Some things have a slow, gentle decline in quality, but this week we're talking about films, tv shows and games that had a huge, massive, ridiculous drop in quality. Immediate drops in quality. We get animated. But before that, we talked about: Biggie's day out on a boat Eastward Malignant Deathloop CONTACT

We all love a franchise. But not every franchise is made equal, not all achieve the success of the MCU. This week we're talking about failed franchises, either ones that started well and failed to uphold that strong start, or ones with potential that were bad out of the gate. Whether its commercial, critical or artistic failures, we've got you covered.

Macguffins. Fun to say, impossible to define. Well, for us, anyway. This week we're talking about our favourite and least favourite macguffins: items/concepts/objects that push a narrative forward that ultimately mean nothing or very little to the story of a piece of media. Yeah... it's complicated. Before all that we talked about: Scratch Bastid's Birthday Alien Crown Trick Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings CONTACT
