The boys are back. This week we’re trying to figure out the world’s most valuable media franchises – spoiler alert – it’s way more Japanese than you’d think.

Bosses – can’t live with ‘em. That’s it, no without. What do you do when a boss treats you like crap and then expects you to be grateful for their time? We discuss the craptastic treatment of the Dublin restaurant worker who was handed over seven thousand coins in a plastic bucket as his severance pay by an employer who thought he was safe from social media.  We also talk about the impact of constantly being served traumatic stories on social media in the pandemic; try to guess how long...

On this weeks episode the boys discuss James Bond, and work out which James Bond is the highest grossing James Bond with inflation to finally put an end to the debate of greatest Bond. They also discuss how not watching trailers can backfire, such as when you realise seconds into a movie you’re now watching a musical.

Adam has a big rant about his current difficulties in proving to the Irish state he is who they say he is. We also have a short lesson in Irish client politics, as Stephen urges Adam to ask a local TD to misuse his or her office by pressuring civil servants to get around some bureaucracy.  After four and a half years of service, Stephen’s smartphone is dying. This raises the question: why in the heck are they putting so much damn RAM in phones now?  And… the only songs the world’s best...

Stephen, who claims on his LinkedIn to be a broadcast media professional, spent the first 15 minutes of this episode loudly eating Peanut M&Ms and Pringles on mic, so brace yourself for some serious snack talk right from the start.   We preview the forthcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, which raises the question: could Marisa Tomei do much as Alec Guinness did in classic revenge caper Kind Hearts and Coronets… and play every female character? This fascinating question remains unanswered...

Man, now...
