Breaking down the Universes... all of them... one at a time.

There"s something here for everyone (mostly our fellow nerds), and if you don"t care about the main topic, tune in to the Fortnightly Unfiltered Conversation and Knowledge Sessions, recorded Fortnightly (it"s in the name).

So, at the start we accidentally call it F.U.C.K.S 22, but it's not. It's F.U.C.K.S 23. We're not sure about The Office Australia, we discuss Rings of Power and The Hunt for Gollum, Agatha All Along has released, we go back to the Harry Potter TV series, and then move on to the Narnia reboot.

So, what do we decide to discuss today? First up, it seems that the Festive Season might be the time for making babies, then we have a fascinating discussion of weather, survival and cannibalism, an in depth look into Green Lantern in film, a somewhat negative review of Rings of Power S2, a look into the Minecraft movie trailer and a greater discussion of Franchise hate, plus some more Star Wars stuff and the most love we've ever given to Andor.

What? Another episode already. Yes, because we're playing a massive amount of catch-up. In the second Monty Python episode, we discuss both the origins and post Python careers of the group, the amount of cross-dressing that went on, whether or not a show like this could be made these days, the prolific use of all types of slurs (and the reactions of the remaining members to "cancel culture), and of course our favourite sketches of Season 2.

It's a F.U.C.K.S episode that was recorded several fortnights ago, so some of the stuff isn't quite as relevant as it should be. We give our spoiler-free thoughts on Deadpool and Wolverine, we discuss the announcement of the new Dr Doom, we start fan-casting the new Harry Potter TV series (recorded weeks before the sad passing of Maggie Smith), the Chronicles of Narnia stole our naming trend, and we get back into politics.

We have brief introduction to the 6 main Pythons (and Carol Cleveland) and discuss the concept of Stream of Consciousness comedy with no punchlines, some of our favourite sketches from the first season, the things you definitely couldn't do on TV today, and the impact Monty Python had on comedy. These ones are a bit shorter, so enjoy the brevity
