Show Notes
In which Tom Senior, Marsh Davies and Jamie Brittain convene on a perfectly normal and entirely non-epoch defining night in early November 2024 to discuss God Of War: Ragnarök at length, as well as providing various witterings about trailers good, names bad, books read and John Wayne movies for some reason. At one point Jamie gleefully imagines Kratos pulling the arms of a sacred deity. A good time is more or less had by all.
