In a very special episode, we are talking another hilarious Irish comedy with 2011's The Guard. Fittingly, we have an international liaison and our first guest host (after everyone else was done with him); the ever loveable Planty from the excellent '100 Things We Learned From Film' podcast. He doesn't manage to keep us on track any more than we normally are as we talk more about Irish culture than the feckin film. Join us for a rant about great Irish actors, great Irish directors, great Irish embarrassments, keeping yourself entertained, terrifying road safety ads, a very niche dolphin joke and Mono doing his best to offend the entire Irish police force.

Well, we lost the run of ourselves this week folks, which means you get an extra special extended episode (read: Mono got lazy editing). This week, in a rant to end all rants, we're talking about our possible favourite comic book movie 'Constantine'. We really think this one still holds up in 2022 as a punchy and visually stunning alt superhero movie, with one of the best bastards ever. Cast yourself into auditory perdition with this rant about killing your friends, time dilation in hell, Alan Moore being Alan Moore, Shia Lebeouf being not that bad, Christian's stealing mythology from pagans and the best damned Satan on film or tv EVER.

Now that we're done with The Boys (for now at least) and getting back to movies, we've decided to shake things up a bit and cover... Watchmen. Yeah we know we know, but we were bound to do it eventually! So jump into a familiar yet different episode about deconstructionist superhero tales as we rant sexy AF 19th Century psychologists, a laughably far off Doomsday Clock, a mechanical owl that poops heroes, the two most important characters being the most boring, Jackie Earle Haley being awesome (who I've just realised we call Healey the whole time) and why killing a genetically altered Lynx is bad, bad fanservice... ZACK!!!
