Not everything ages well. Even art made with the best of intentions can fall foul to the ravages of time. This week we're talking about media that aged like milk, that didn't stand the test of time.

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. But before all that we discussed: Tales Of Arise Emma Radacanu's victory at the US Open AEW All Out Fallout 4 The War Of The Worlds: The

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

There's so much good media out there, but for some reason some absolutely brilliant works fall under the radar, are misunderstood or are just plain unappreciated. This week, we're talking about the things we love that were CRIMINALLY underrated.

(Don't worry, Deejay is fine. Oodles is just an idiot) It's time. You've all been asking for it and it's finally time to talk about it. THE. BEST. BADDIES. That's right, we're going in hard talking about our favourite villains, vagabonds and baddies. It's good to be bad.

Some say that the robots will rise up and take over the world. But others, correctly, love robots, because robots are cool as f**k and we should all be amazed by them. This week, we're talking about our favourite robots in media across TV and film.

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.

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.

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.

Modern Escapism ·

2021/06/17

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. But before all that, we discussed: Gears 5: Hivebusters The Incredible Hulk Sweet Tooth Project Hail Mary In The Heights Check out OneLineDerek on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/onelinederek CONTACT
