This week find out all about why we introduce each podcast as a car crashing into a dumpster fire, why Sam clearly needs to research ancient rain dances and why Laura knows the financial benefits of Dinosaur porn.
Also included for the pleasure of your peasant ears; WTF is happening, Boris the toddler murderer, why Romesh Ranganathan and Joe Lycett are the same person, chainsaw tits and feminist Femme-Fatals, Laura is loving that moreish crack and Sam is still thirsting after that Dunedain Dick.

Due to us discussing Trans rights this week, we will keep these sources in the show notes:
This week I (Laura) said I wasn't going to give air time to the thing that had annoyed me. Instead, I said I'd do something to counter balance it.
Sam and I are both very passionate about equality.
Being a film nerd and writer the area I (Laura) tend to read most about and get caught up in, is representation within fiction/culture.
Instead of recommending specific videos and highlighting the thing that got me so riled. I've decided to recommend three youtubers and two Netflix documentaries - all which explore representation in some form or another.
Amazing Youtubers that may help you get more informed about why certain things/people/ideas in the zeitgeist are problematic;
Lindsay Ellis - https://www.youtube.com/user/chezapoc...
Contrapoints - https://www.youtube.com/user/ContraPo...
MelinaPendulum - https://www.youtube.com/user/MelinaPe...
They are three I personally watch but I'm sure there are others. All three do thorough research into their topics and their videos are usually video essays.
Disclosure - A film about trans representation on screen
They've Gotta Have Us - A series that traces the history of black cinema
