04/03/24 • 59 min

Star Wars, a film series that historically has never once been political in any way, shape or form, has gone too far this time by hiring women? Non-whites? Goes against canon?? It’s hard to say. Fragile babies are upset and maybe gen-z think da prequels are better than the original series?? We don’t know. We also don’t know why a bison time travels. There’s a lot we don’t know to be perfectly honest. Except Yoda’s political leanings. That we get. So listen in (or watch us on YouTube) for the next hour while we momentarily distract you on the road to the grave as we try and figure out what will happen in Star Wars: Acolyte. Oh, we also know howler monkey’s are not only the loudest monkey, but they’re also the loudest land animal. Their little yells can be heard from 5km away! That’s 3 miles to you filthy imperialists. Or around about 50 odd football fields if you need that visualisation.

Inside Out 2

Those little guys in our brains who control our every waking moment are back! And this time there's more! Be it cute boys, friend politics, a potential queer storyline that won't go anywhere, puberty is rough and Disney's Inside Out 2 is here to remind you just how terrible it was (or is, depending on your own personal timeline). The boys spend too much time working out how farms work, get confused and angry at how the Northern Hemisphere does school and delve deep into the emotion disgust using a watermelon, a toilet brush and a britta. Once again, you can watch us on YouTube, and now for this episode's ape fact! Female geladas delay sexual maturation until a new, sexy and not-at-all-genetically-related-to-them male takes over the troop. For geladas, cousins is NOT okay.

A James Cameron Directed X-Men Film

Excelsior true believer! While Joel Duscher’s away the other two idiots will play! Zammit’s been reading about Marvel history and has come away with a very important finding. Sometime in the 90s we almost had a James Cameron directed X-Men film until Stan Lee wrecked it. You see, Stan Lee was a crazy man who loved Spider-Man and shouldn’t be invited to non-Spider-Man meetings (to his credit, he did have a brilliant idea for a van based X-Men cartoon that never happened). So let’s have a famous think and ponder what that film might have been like and how Leonardo DiCaprio would have been shoehorned in as one of the merry mutants. As always you can watch us on YouTube and now on to today’s ape fact! Some scientists have observed apes carving sticks into spears to help hunt for food and bonobos use sticks as weapons! Can you imagine that? A bonobo with a big stick? Damn. What a powerful bonobo with a powerful stick. We are all incredibly jealous of that little bonobos and its mighty stick. Maybe it’ll let us hold it for a bit?
