This week, Marc and Richard reflect on midlife milestones: unexpected eyebrow trims, ancient Olympic rivals, and the bittersweet reality that our past glories get better every time we tell them.
There’s a £996 car repair that wasn’t quite expensive enough, the death of shared cultural knowledge (“What do you mean you’ve never heard of Back to the Future?!”), and an emotional tribute to mixtapes and vinyl that somehow ends in an idea for a million-pound invention (spoiler: it already exists).
We debate if having trials in the 90s outranks Olympic Medals rage against fast-paced film editing, and confirm once and for all that Ghostbusters is a perfect movie, even if nothing happens for 20 minutes.
No tattoos this time, but we promise to get to them eventually. Probably.
