We talked so much about the Netflix-produced Mark Wahlberg Boston Cop film SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL. What a great punchline! What an absurd concept to declare that 85 million people had watched it. Anyway, we realised that we had to actually view the film in order to complete the cycle, so we brought on Olga Koch to review it with Riley, Milo, and Alice. Hope you enjoy!

This week we want to talk Davos, we want to talk startups with unique raw materials, we want to talk about what all the right-wing conspiracy theories about billionaire overlords get right and get wrong -- and to do that we brought on economist and writer Grace Blakeley (@graceblakeley), host of the A World to Win Podcast (@aworldtowinpod), and let’s just say it got weird. This episode features Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice -- hope you enjoy!

As a continuation of our free episode this week, we brought on Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) and Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) from This Machine Kills Podcast to discuss the famously sane and healthy workplace culture of Netflix with Riley, Milo, and Alice. Guess what? It's bad. And it's probably coming to your workplace sooner rather than later.

It has come to our attention that Netflix has twice the market capitalisation of Boeing. How can this be? Well, it’s a byproduct of the 2008 crisis, an endlessly-expanding network fed by zero-interest loans and charter school zealots who believe that 100 million people can and will watch the next Orc Cop movie. We brought on Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) and Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) from This Machine Kills Podcast to discuss it with Riley, Milo, Nate, and Alice.

How to explain this? Tom Watson--yes, THAT Tom Watson--has written a 'taut, political thriller' about what if Labour and the Tories came together to make sure NHS patient data was sold to pharmaceutical companies in an ethical way. It's deeply boring in a manner that reflects its author, but it's also something else: an experience. Riley read the whole book and forced Nish Kumar to listen to it along with Milo, Hussein, and Alice. Hope you enjoy!

We're at it again. Nate and Milo have reviewed the 1968 film CARRY ON UP THE KHYBER for yet another Britainology, and this one is a real laser-focused look at this absurd island. Why is it so horny? Why is everything a double entendre? Is this really the nation that once ruled the waves? You be the judge -- hope you enjoy!

We tried to do a full cast episode but Hussein was busy with a ‘real job’. So we got Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) to discuss a few things. Firstly: Keir Starmer’s desert island discs (yawn), plus a startup that does what you might call a novel riff on the idea of digital nomads. Behold, an episode of nothing but van lore. Van content. You will love it.

Quaid... start the podcast and save Mars...
Justin, Liam, and our very own Alice of Well There’s Your Problem Podcast (on Youtube!) are here to discuss Elon Musk's ludicrous plan to put humanity on spaceships with pizza restaurants in them and ship them off to Mars to live in large greenhouses for reasons of... well... Mars. Where else in the solar system are you going to live? Anyway, like most big stupid tech things - it's a fun story to distract you while SpaceX becomes a (sigh) privatiser of public goods through government contracting. Plus ca change.

Why are the Gulf countries so involved with backing tech startups? How many sovereign wealth funds are there, and why do they seem to always circle back to SoftBank? To answer this question we brought on Derek Davison (@dwdavison), a writer with Discontents News (@DiscontentsNews) and subject matter expert on the Gulf, to discuss it with Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards) and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).

It's been a while, but we've brought it back: our non-stop comedy riff series returns with Riley, Milo, and special guests Glenn Moore and Pierre Novellie. Riley posits the argument that 'The History Boys' is the actual true 20th century British artistic work. We also discuss airport novels and whole lot more.
