This week it's just Ron and Luke, and they go back to the original format by diving in to "Insert Questions Here". Kicking things off with which Video Game character or franchise would match well with The Avengers. - They discuss Solid Snakes thighs, and Ron's lack of attention span. - They share their TV show "hidden gems"... Well, Luke does. Ron comes up empty handed so decides to steal one of Luke's answers. - There's a chance that Ron may have clones, as he mentions that his family often point out they've seen someone who looks identical to him. - Which movie death scene is their favourite? They let you know by answering a rare easy question. Ron "pulls a Tobe" and switches things up. - Luke tries to get revenge for all the times Ron has derailed him on the show, and it works, mainly because Ron loves a tangent. - They talk about the night before the recording, where they played with each other... On GTA V. They buy a nightclub and poo-poo the set up missions, calling out Rockstar. They also miss playing with just their friends. - More Red Dead Redemption II speculation, and Ron asks the Heroes what they think and if they're looking forward to it. You can let them know here: facebook.com/insertnameherecast @insertnameherecast on Instagram. @nameherecast on Twitter. Or email them at insertnameherecast@gmail.com - Luke gets physical and updates us all on Batman's wedding, then out of nowhere - Bane appears, luckily Ron takes him down, verbally. - While discussing the controversy of Boomstick Gaming's review of Dead Cells being plagiarised by IGN's Nintendo editor, Filip Miucin, they misspell IGN. - Ron fills us in with his vegetarian update and rails on a UK pub chain. Luke spends a Saturday in "Fort Awesome". - Head to insertnameherecast.com for all things INH.
