An Audio show of pop culture and mass media reviews, rants and ramblings of a few friends from a number of different places. We passionately argue over games of all sorts, comics, movies, and tv series and novels with a heavy leaning towards genre fiction. Mostly light hearted and humourous but with a side of bile.
