Horrific DVD bootleg covers, cooking, cheese, LARP characters, drinks and more get infused into this general banter chat. Also, what on earth is The Frying Pan Buttock Slam? You're going to have to listen to find out!
What is the greatest fictional robot? The Titans get technical in this episode as they put forward their choices for the best fictional robot.

Plus who will be the lucky person to win the fake top hat as The Titans take another phone call from The Titanverse.
What was the worst movie you've paid to see? The Titans share their cinematic missteps in an episode dedicated to sharing some of the worst movies the trio have had the misfortune of watching.

What fictional vehicle would you want on your driveway? The Titans tick off their wish list of cars, rockets, robots and cheeses they'd wish to see on their driveway.

We make a call to the Titan-verse once more for their input and the chance to win an imaginary speedboat!
The Titans return from their Christmas break and catch up. So much that they forgo their originally planned question and go off on random tangents. Instead, find out what the Titans got up during their break, discover who doesn't like Ricky Gervais, find out who has started painting like Bob Ross and other fascinating tidbits. If that's not enough, The Titans use their free time to try their hand at phone in competitions for a free fake yacht. This might not end well....
The Titans celebrate the festive holidays - a little early - as they talk about their favourite Christmas TV and Movies. Christian makes his case for Die Hard being a Christmas movie, Iain recounts his experience meeting a Disney villain and Jason just can't be feel festive at the word Christmas.
With the UK General Election 2019 taking place, The Titans have their own Election Special by asking who are the best and worst fictional politicians. We delve into the original House of Cards, consider leadership under M. Bison, and the hilarious but also alarming realistic The Thick of It.
Here we go again! It's the second season of Trivial Titans and we're rebooting everything! Actually, The Titans are dealing with the question of what fictional properties deserve a reboot? The Titans make cases for Doctor Who, WWE, Gargoyles and even Flint The Time Detective - along with a few diversions.

Who is the greatest animated detective? With the 50th anniversary of Scooby-Doo coming up, The Titans get their sleuthing hats on. Starting with that lovable Scooby, the trio make their way through other animated detectives such as Inspector Gadget and Flint The Time Detective. But why stop there? We even branch out to video games and imagine the ITV real life drama of Professor Layton. This is just the tip of our mystery filled chat.
What fictional product would you like to buy? The Titans go window shopping as they look at memorable fictional products. Along the way there's a dash of Mr. Sparkle, Iron Man suits for all and a healthy amount of Acme products. The trio also answer their first listener question that asks "Which fictional world would they like to visit?"
What was Peak Stallone? With the release of Rambo - Last Blood, The Titans take a look at Sylvester Stallone's film catalog. They touch upon the iconic, the good, the bad and the weirdest roles the action icon has played. Just don't get Jason started on Spy Kids 3D.
What are the best and worst Disney songs? Things get a bit musical as The Trivial Titans discuss Disney songs. Which ones are memorable? Which ones are just horrible? Which ones are utter classics? We hear The Trivial Titans thoughts on the matter. And if that's not enough, we have kazoos for a Disney song challenge. But can one of the trivial trio overcome the challenge of actually playing a kazoo!?
What was the toy you never got while you were growing up? That's the question this time out with The Titans revisiting their childhood. VHS Board Games, Train Sets, Lego, Web Slingers and Richard O'Brien, this episode is filled with surprises.
The Titans continue their fact finding task of asking each other geek cultured themed questions. Jason finishes his run in the hot seat before attention is drawn to Iain. What follows deals with such revelations as DuckTales having a movie in cinemas, The Wombles in a computer game and discovering shoddy 3D Laser Time on children's television. We also bare witness to worst rendition of the Batman Beyond theme you'll ever hear conducted by Iain and Christian.
