We catch up with Foghorn now he’s free from the time loop, watch Sylvester exploit his son, and Past Bugs’ complacent nature draws trouble from the future.
4.21 — THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985) and Endings (or Not)
This week sees the start of our mini-season of high school movies, beginning with the seminal John Hughes film THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985). After some reviews, we talk about how character depth is important to a film about stereotypes, why detention really doesn’t work, and whether or not being a teenager is ever about having […]
36 – American Lager
It’s easy to look down on American Lagers. They’re popular and have flavours so subtle that some would argue slip into the relms of being bland.

Hops from New Zealand in particular are highly regarded not only for having unusual intense flavours but also keeping things deliciously subtle in a well balanced beer. What better style to try them out than a New Zealand Pilsner, […]
S3E08 – Coffee with MacDowell
Making use of Cal’s time lense, our heroes start to test the properties of different coloured portals. The results are astounding.
34 – Old Ale with West Berkshire Brewery
One of the key parts of beer is the delicious grain that gives it its body, sweetness, colour and potentially many of its other attributes, the malted barley. If you’re a fan of a big malt character in your beers, then Old Ale might be a great style to try, since it’s packed full of […]
