In this episode, Louis has picked the 1993 Sci-fi action film Demolition Man. Louis and Kate run through some plot, mixed in with an important discussion about the real issues that plague 2032 San Angeles, like how do the three seashells work, and how Taco Bell conquered all other chain restaurants. This strange, peculiar film is what is known to Louis as an "ITV classic", in that he first saw it on ITV as a youth. He promises it won't be the last time we get one of these picks either!

The management would like to ask you to enhance your calm before listening. Be well!

In this episode, Kate (and to be fair, Louis as well) gets very excited talking about Prequelle, the 4th album from the Swedish rock band. They talk about the incredibly vivid and humorous world that the group have built over time, how at least half the podcast feels like this album is structurally similar to a musical how much the singer looks like a certain British light entertainer and the absolutely glorious live show. Also, saxophones and tricycles and some fab-u-lous choreo! They even talk about the songs and lyrics, like its a real podcast and everything.

The smash hit sitcom about 4 teenagers from Derry (and the wee English fella) is the subject of this episode of the little podcast that might. Louis tells us all about a show that is so dear to his heart it might have been difficult to keep it together for this episode. Louis and Kate talk about a show that is very dear to both of their hearts, but for some slightly different reasons.
