We've landed on the shores of Blue Sky, fresh from the hell of X.

Hello hello everyone.

This was a really fun episode to record and it was also a delight seeing this awesome movie for the first time ahead of recording this. I really deep dived into this one too as well as reading articles, the Wiki and IMD page and the usual I also listened to an audiobook about the making of the film.

This was very cool as not only did I get to fill an egregious gap in my action knowlegde with this first time watch but I also got to have a very fun pod coversation with a fellow action nerd (and fellow Scott!). I recommend you gie it a listen.

I recently completed the NZcomedyschool Intro to Stand Up course. After doing that for a month I had a bunch of stand up material, some of the best bits of which I put into this 5 minute set (my first ever public stand up performance!).

12 down and another 24 to go on this deranged DTV Seagal journey Matt and I have committed to. This was not a fun one, but it was still very fun to talk about all the mad behind the scenes stuff.

Can Barry talk about Hearts 3-0 friendly win over Sunderland, which (coupled with our League Cup wins) Hearts fans (like myself) have read way too much into as the start of the Bloom/McInnes revolution.

A Comic Strip Presents... heavy week. I seem to like The Supergrass more each time I have seen it. I totally blanked I had seen Red Top before but it is okay. Eat the Rich was a first time watch that was very fun, if uneven. Also, weirdo sci-fi The Universal Theory provided a fun start to the week.

Seagal might be a terrible human being, but it sure is fun talking about him.

Echoing: worth a watch.
