It's all about family, or so the saying goes. Join Biggie and Gadget as they live life a quarter mile at a time. Neither has seen any of the Fast & Furious films so they've volunteered to watch through all ten films in order and break them down for your listening pleasure. They're starting off with 2001's The Fast & The Furious. Hear them discuss the first part of this long running franchise and what they think about the cars, the story and everything in between. Obviously, massive

We were all kids once, and one of the best bits about being a kid was (and always will be) kid's TV. As children of the 80s and 90s, we feel we had the best of it and this week we each bring one of our favourite shows to the table and bathe in the nostalgia (and the theme tunes). But before all of that, we discussed: Masters Of The Universe Marvel Ultimate Alliance Returnal Johnny Mnemonic Control: Ultimate Edition CONTACT

It's a question that's plagued gamers for all time; what is the greatest game ever? Well, in our sheer arrogance and hubris, we've decided that it's up to us to decide that. Like we did with our Best Biscuits episode, we're taking it upon ourselves to pitch our favourite games against each other to decide, for the world, what the GOAT video game is. But before all that, we discussed: The Walking Dead My Dad Wrote A Porno Fast & Furious 9 Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart Skratch

Casting can make or break a film or TV show. And when it goes wrong, it can ruin everything. This week, we're talking about the worst examples of miscasting we've ever encountered. We also try to work out who we'd cast in their place.

It happens to the best of us. You've been popular for a while, but it's starting to wane, you need a new idea. You have the idea. It's brilliant, everyone is going to love it. It's just what you need to stay on top. You're gonna jump a shark. No? Just us? Well, this week, we're talking about the media that we feel jumped the shark. Videogames, films, TV shows that all did the stupidest stuff that made no sense whatsoever. Be warned, it's a ranty one. But before all that, we discussed: Captain

We all grow up. Well... some of us grow up. But one thing we all do, is evolve... Most of us do... Okay, what I'm trying to say is, there's plenty of media out there which we enjoyed (or disliked) once upon a time only for our opinion to change. We might have loved a certain film as a child only to rewatch it as an adult and realise it's awful, or we may have disregarded a style of music in our youth only to adore it as we age. This week we're talking about the things that we've changed our minds

This week, there's gadget's and gizmos galore (and we don't mean our erstwhile editor!) For every iPhone, there's a thousand N-Gages, for every Roomba, there's an Aibo. We're talking failed tech today, as we dive into some of the tech we've loved, hated, or thought were boneheaded, that ultimately never saw mainstream success.

There's a fine line between a goodie and a baddie, and that line mostly consists of jerks. This week, we're talking about our favourite TV jerks. Characters who aren't evil, or could even be called baddies, but instead, jackasses, arseholes and dickheads. People you hate, yet love.

It's often the case that we can judge things before we know anything about them. It's fine, don't worry, we all do it. This week our Modern Escapees are discussing the phenomenon of judging a book by it's cover. We talk about films, games, and even countries we've judged harshly before falling in love with them.
