Named after one of Australia's most progressive Prime Ministers, The Whitlams are a band Thomas had definitely heard, but never fully paid attention to.

Iron Man 2:03:11

2:03:11

This week's episode is one Sarah has been planning since the beginning. You see, Thomas has no experience of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the last superhero movie he saw was X-Men 2. So, of course we had to dive into the movie that changed Hollywood forever, revitalised Robert Downey Jr's career, and is also just a damn good time at the cinem…

2:24:53

This week Tom is in charge so of course the film is beyond obscure. In this episode we explore Groove, a film staged around a warehouse party in San Francisco around the late 90’s.
