PODCAST

Better Lighting

Better Lighting is based on the idea that the difference between the boring humdrum of daily life and the crisp sheen of the silver screen is simply better lighting! Ed and Dan won"t admit it, but they"re film buffs who won"t shut up about it. (Don"t get them started on the MCU Civil War debate again!) They"re also avid gamers and generally into all things nerdy. Consider this your one-stop shop for nerd culture and general discussion from the perspective of two very opinionated people. So yeah..

The One That's All Sixes and Sevens

Better Lighting ·

2025/10/27

Daniel and Eddie are back, stumbling their way into the rhythm of weekly episodes—emphasis on stumbling. This week, they confront the creeping realization that they’re officially too old to understand the kids: the idioms are nonsense, the music is just noise, and the cultural gap is widening like Eddie’s jeans.Eddie tries to coax out Daniel’s hidden appreciation for women’s fashion, while questioning why men’s fashion is stuck in a loop of greyscale mediocrity. Meanwhile, Daniel mounts a passionate

The One That Was Produced By Jordan Peele

2025/10/20

Behold: Jordan Peele single-handedly produced this episode... in the exact same way he produced Him—which is to say, not at all.Ed’s fresh off a Japan trip, Daniel’s still recovering from the group chat, and the boys finally sat down to watch a movie together: Weapons (2025), a mystery-horror flick they knew absolutely nothing about going in. Turns out, that made it better.Also in this episode: the sacred art of finding your barber, the unspoken rules of Black haircuts, and why walking into the

The One With Asian Whores, Chinese Food and Video Games

2025/10/13

Ed’s off to Japan, but before he disappears into vending machine heaven, the guys try to answer life’s big question: what does it mean to be alive? Their conclusion—good food, video games, and women—is so basic it hurts.Also: Gamescom happened. It was terrible. Or maybe Ed and Daniel are just getting old and jaded. Either way, the spark was missing.They’ve been quiet since, possibly napping, possibly rebooting. But the thumbs are out now, and you’ll be seeing a lot more of them.Enjoy the chaos. See

The One Where IceCube Is A Peeping Tom

2025/09/22

Ah, classic Ed—off chasing the horizon while the rest of us hold down the fort. “Globe trouting” sounds suspiciously like a euphemism for dodging responsibility with flair. I hope he at least brought back some exotic snacks or a story worth the detour. Back from his globe-trouting ego trip, and Dan’s still recovering from the cinematic dumpster fire that was the War of the Worlds remake. Together, they return to the podcast that’s somehow still worse than that movie. If you’re listening in your

The One Where Ed Admits He Hates Queen

2025/08/18

The boys are back. Life got in the way (as it does), but Dan and Ed returned with a vengeance—ready to record what was, briefly, the greatest podcast of all time. I was there. It was transcendent. Jokes, insight, actual world peace plans… and then? The recording failed. Gone. Lost to the void. A tragedy for humanity.So here we are, on an odd day, trying to recapture the magic. Spoiler: we didn’t. They tried—God knows they tried—but this episode? It’s a shadow of what could’ve been. A monument to

The One With The Boy From Smallville

Better Lighting ·

2025/07/28

The boys are back, nerding out harder than ever over comic book movies. Expect a deep-dive into every fight scene, plot twist, and costume choice—as if the fate of the real world depends on it. When they stick to their geeky little wheelhouse, it’s weirdly entertaining... maybe even adorable. But the second they think they can "save the world"? You’ll hear those tiny hamster wheels creak under delusions of grandeur.They’re trying to watch more films (finally), so expect some actual movie

The One With The Towering Inferno

2025/07/21

This week, The Boys continue their questionable love affair with a “definitely-not-a-date” photo adventure through the heart of London on a suspiciously beautiful summer day. From romantic wandering to existential spirals, they reminisce far too long before plunging—somehow—into a conversation about the horrors of tower block fires. Don’t ask how the transition happened. It’s best if you don’t.Ed claims the title of “ultimate people pleaser,” which is ironic considering he’s wasting everyone’s time

The One With The AI Director

Better Lighting ·

2025/07/07

This week, the boys return to some semblance of normality—but with a chaotic twist. They saddle up a metaphorical horse (or maybe an actual stable?) and charge headfirst into the uncanny valley, railing against the rise of poor AI art and the looming nightmare of film sets run entirely by digital “actors.” Imagine movies with no humans... just algorithmic Oscar bait. Who wants that? Apparently, Daniel does. But let’s be honest—he’s an idiot.Also, because they physically can’t help themselves, the

The One After The Night With Geoff Keighley

2025/06/30

Once a year, the holy mackerel that is gaming splashes down in the land of America, where all eyes turn to the industry in desperate hope that our poor existence might be distracted by some shiny Vidimagames.But those days? Long gone.Now we're left with a piss-poor excuse for a trade show.Today, the boys dive into this new-age not-really-E3. It's not E3 anymore—it's Summer Game Fest, or Xbox Showcase, or PlayStation Experience, or whatever branding exercise they’ve slapped on this year

He pushed his way into the room—no words, but his presence said everything. His eyes locked onto mine, black and cold like the night.Without hesitation, he shoved me aside and slammed the big red button.Just like that, we were recording.I wanted to say no, to protest that we weren’t ready, but before I could even process it—he was already talking.It happened.We were in the podcast...

The One With Total Recall

Better Lighting ·

2025/06/16

This week, the guys learned the hard way that hitting record is only half the job—turns out, it doesn’t work if the computer decides to take a nap halfway through the episode. So, this is take TWO, and they are PISSED.Not gonna lie, I think it’s hilarious, but that’s just me. I’m sure they’ll get the hang of this eventually… but today is not that day.Good luck with this one, folks. And as always—try to enjoy.

Back at it again with another episode from the two dumb-dumbs. They’re starting to find their rhythm—not saying it’s good, but hey, at least it's arriving on time and in the right order. Wow, the bar really is that low.Anyway, looks like they actually feel the need to talk about movies this time. I mean, come on guys, it is called The Better Lighting Podcast.

You know the drill by now. The hosts have once again messed up the upload schedule and are only getting to this episode now. This is episode 13 of yet another podcast from entitled individuals who think their thoughts need to be heard. So, what's on the agenda this week?They finally watched Nosferatu (better late than never) and want to share their thoughts on the film. They also discuss the Oscars (as if anyone cares) and think they can solve the issues with sex work and its impact on young

Though at least this time we'vegot the very lovely Sonia back. I don't know how Daniel was able to secure alife partner of any kind, let alone someone so delectable.

[Missed Episode - 5]The dancing monkey, known as Daniel, has seemingly forgotten to upload a previous episode. So he's doing it now, just completely out of order. Personally, I think it should have been lost into the ether where it deserves to be forgotten. These idiots can’t do anything right. They're just wasting your time. I have no idea why you keep coming back to listen to this drivel. Nevertheless, they're back. Moaning about being 30 years old or whatever, it's not even that

Once again, the boys are back, talking about nothing of any use while continuing the stupid debate about Will Smith. Will Daniel ever get over it? Eddie cries like a baby because films make him feel stuff or something. I can't really relate; I'm not a wimp. They did go watch "Sinners," and that's a good movie, but that's the only thing of note, really. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Then again, you never listen to me.You people make me sick!

Daniel and Eddie again bumbling their way through hay fever season, proving once again that they have no idea how to manage their itchy eyes and runny noses. They recount the ridiculous tale of Jezebel the pig, who met her delicious fate, and somehow manage to debate the merits of various alcohol brands, with Eddie passionately defending his love for Magnum despite Daniel's cluelessness. The duo also fumbles through discussions about London's pollution levels, the invasion of parakeets, and

In this episode, we dive into a lively and candid conversation about more bullshit, ranging from personal anecdotes to societal observations. Our hosts, Daniel and Ed, share somewhat humorous and relatable (not if your a decent person) stories, touching on themes of body image, cultural identity, and the everyday challenges we face. This week, we are joined by a special guest cohost, Sonia, who brings a fresh (and brains) perspective and adds to the dynamic of the discussion. Daniel hilariously

Join Daniel and Ed as they stumble their way through another episode of "Better Lighting." This time, they tackle the world's problems with the grace of a bull in a china shop. From political rants to personal anecdotes, nothing is off-limits. Daniel can't seem to get through a single topic without tripping over his words, while Ed's attempts at humor are as hit-or-miss as a blindfolded dart player.

In this episode, they reminisce about the good ol' days of 2018, debate the merits of military action in video games, and try to figure out if the world is truly going mad.Join them as they discuss everything from the absurdity of modern-day America to the nostalgia of movies that feel like they came out just yesterday.
