The mics keep cutting out on this one. Some repairs have been attempted, but it’s a bit annoying. Adam’s been to Melbourne to do a different podcast and Justin has gone full hipster. Adam is reading Saga (spoilerific) including talk of Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina. Adam has been watching Brain Dead, Justin watched Interstellar on his new TV, and Adam has to guess which scenes he’s watching (spoilwah). Does the Batman V Superman extended cut improve things (spoilerish)? More Affleck V Bale,...

The last of the Comedy Festival live recordings with Justin and Adam. Justin is feeling a lot better and imagines the porn he would make. Adam is on the verge of quitting comedy, like alcohol, he's done so much. Adam explains blossoming, which is distressing on a number of levels. Justin has had enough of oversharers, and Adam cuts sick on clean comedy. Adam does the worst mime of all time, and then falls into a Rob Schneider fury hole.

This has everything you want in a Shelf podcast. Tram bells, sirens, walking to a cinema, driving around Melbourne.

How does that Wizard of Oz / Pink Floyd thing work if they have incredibly different running times? Why doesn't Doctor Who trick a robot into a hole? Why isn't Apple as easy as it should be?
