TE 87; The Mark Dominated WW84 Tangent

22/1/2021

There are times in the Entertainment world where our passions are driven to such an extent that we need to unload or explode. This episode gives Amy, Alex, Jon, Paul and Booby the chance to coax Mark away from the verge of spontaneous combustion as he vents his frustrations on DC's new Blockbuster Wonder Woman 84.

Oh and for transparency there others on the cast who are not fans either.

TE 84; The Next Gen Purchasing Tangent

23/9/2020

The biggest question in gaming is once again upon us to upgrade or not? Join Jon, Alex and Paul as they discuss the conundrum wrapped in an enigma that are the PS5 and Xbox Series X and the validity of upgrading to both if at all.
Obviously we are mostly expressing our opinions (but that is why you are here isn't it?) but thankfully we have a mixture of views and most importantly all remain friends to the end.
