MCU 12: No. 9 'SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME' Is Pure & Messy Spidey Fun

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:01:00 +0100

With great podcasting power, there must also come great responsibility as Priscilla joins the guys to discuss 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. They discuss the culmination of Tom Holland's initial MCU trilogy, their love for 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and seeing three Spider-Men, Spider-Mans(?) on screen being the stuff of nerd dreams. Oh, and don't worry, they question whether the film should have made the list in the first place.

Not Mark actually fighting like a Viltrumite

Our Invincible crew picks up right where they left off — even though the show doesn’t exactly do the same — to discuss the tonal shifts and side quests in episode 4 as well as the explosive events of episode 5. Talk about whiplash.

They get into what the show might be doing with all its adjacent storylines in season 4, and talk about the influence of Mark’s mental state on his desire to be a true hero. They also talk about what it’s like to see Mark unlock a new ferocity as his Viltrumite instincts bubble to the surface.

And of course they take their time cooking Nolan. Duh.

Hi Bob.
Bankole, Angel & Pete have assembled from their various Apple TV Coverages to once again discuss the show that first connected them: Apple TV's 'For All Mankind'. Ahead of the show's Season 5 return later this week, they discuss their feelings on Season 4 (two years on), the show's stance in the Prestige TV landscape and of course, whether this is the season we finally lose Ed Baldwin.

Mark just can't catch a break! But hey, what else is new?

The fourth (WOW) season of Prime Video's 'Invincible' is finally here, and our Invincible crew have thoughts, including but not limited to advice for Paul, feelings about Oliver, and reluctant sympathy for Nolan. And unyielding hate for the Viltrumites of course. DUH. They also touch on what it means to be a parent in the world of the series — in more ways than one — and make a heartfelt case for the source material.

MCU 12: No. 10 - 'Iron Man' Starts a Universe RIght!

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:01:00 +0000

When Marvel was making 'Iron Man', the idea of a shared cinematic universe was only a pipe dream lightly whispered along the halls of their sublet(!) Santa Monica Boulevard offices. Almost two decades later, it seems ridiculous that it was ever doubted.

For Number 10 on our year-long Marvel Cinematic Universe films' ranking, Bankole, Ebuka, Steve & Angel are going all the way to the start to discuss the beginnings of a character, a universe, a fandom and an actor resurgence!

Bankole Imoukhuede — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 05:35:13 +0000

Did we just witness the culmination of an incredible season of television, or the lay-up for what might just turn out to be a uniquely, unparalleled legacy, in storytelling?

We’d say it’s both, and.

As we close up the Trading Desk for 'Industry' Season 4, Ebube is joined by AJ and Oseghale for a re-contextualization of discussion of everything that happened in the finale, and a look forward to what might be in store for our favorite not-really-bankers in the show's final season.

They touch on what what messages the show meant to convert with each of Harper, Yasmin and Henry's seasonal arcs, and they take stock of what the future holds for the world of the show personally, occupationally, and perhaps even politically.

True humanity is just around the corner. Someone please tell Yasmin.

Were all the roads always leading to this? Is it worth it to be necessary if I'm necessary for the wrong reasons? Do I stop protecting my heart if it means I may have to pay the cost? Can we ever come back from this? I guess Paris is overrated.

Bankole & Eyo are reevaluating everything they thought they knew about each other as they discuss the excellent season four finale of HBO & BBC's 'Industry'.

Snake oil and sermons... Pretty similar, huh?

With the Industry Season 4 finale finally upon us, Ebube and AJ take stock of Whitney's lies, Henry's frailties, Yasmin's self-delusion, and Harper's potential, as the story comes to a head, set to converge in one big splash.

They weigh in on the debate concerning Whitney's fate and Henry's safety, praise Andrew Havill's Alexander Norton, and discuss what might be in Harper and Yasmin now that their relationship has evolved yet again.

Ebube, Afam and Soonen get together to attend a dragon’s funeral.

They discuss Egg, as well as his drip and the reason he does what he does at the end of the episode. They also talk about why this season worked, what Emmy category it belongs in, and why we’ll be seated front and center for the next one no matter what.

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 03:55:00 +0000

A few hours from the biggest payday of your career, you're sitting on the floor, cigarette in hand and drenched in the stench of a London night out. You can't remember when you last felt this good, but surprisingly, you're staying in the moment. You've earned this night, you deserve this night. This is your victory lap. As your best - and maybe only- friend rests on your shoulders, you think about what you've both been through. You make a silent PROMISE to her: "If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, you know in the end, I'll always be there".

William returns to chat with the guys about an 'Industry' episode of escapes (and attempts). After poring over that opening scene, they discuss Whitney's unsettling, otherworldly nature, a very stressful 24 hours in New York, Yasmin's escape plans and of course, the club night everyone's talking about.

Now that the world is officially on fire, Ebube brings Emike in to discuss what's next for the characters; whether Yasmin's marriage will survive, how much more we'll see of Whitney, and whether Ken Leung will win the Emmy he so greatly deserves. AJ has several thoughts on all these passing matters.

While they're at it, they assess Harper's strength, Henry's safety, and the idea that a savior might be coming to comfort them. Emike and AJ also take some time to illustrate how the ladies of London — and the world, frankly — have had their fair share of Kwabena's kind.

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

R.I.P to a real one.

After delivering what possibly amounts to the most disgruntled eulogy of all time, Ebube summons Afam and Soonen through gritted teeth to talk about the loss that’s currently hurting him the most, courtesy of this episode — he can’t decide whether to love or hate Ira Parker, but stay tuned.

They get into the tragedy of how the events unfolded and how it’s partly a commentary on class warfare, before breaking down the story beats within the fight and the flashback, as well as the fascinating lore surrounding it. They discuss what's been lost, the significance of the episode's title, what the flashback really shows us about Dunk, and the fact that no good deep goes unpunished in the world of Game of Thrones.

We’ll all need some time to recover.

From Eric's terrible parenting to Harper's insatiable ambition, Sweetpea's glorious purpose and Yasmin's denial, the stage is set for an explosive series of events in the second half of Industry's fourth season.

Ebube and AJ take stock of where we are now, bidding farewell to Jim and Rishi, questioning Sweetpea's seemingly bottomless audacity, and joining the long list of people begging Eric to get it to together. They also look to Whitney and his relationship with Henry, and the writing on the wall is starting to read pretty ominously...

"How good a knight are you?"... Guess we'll find out.

Ebube brings Bankole in to join the the guys for an incredibly fun roundtable and a lesson in the laws of gods and men, but frankly the real question here is how cooked Dunk truly is.

Once Bankole recaps his own perspective on the show with a carefully curated list of "jokes", the guys deliberate on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Baelor being the greatest Targaryen ever put to screen, Aerion being the kind of demon that's actually worth fearing, and Maekar living out all the stresses of fatherhood all at once.

They also touch on the newest Targaryens revealed to us, discussing what Daeron brings to the table and what might be next for the baldest prince in history, all while trying to figure out what could possibly go right in a Trial of Seven.

They talk about what Egg’s relationships could mean for the story, as well as how the smallfolk’s view of the royal family might be keeping the Targaryens on edge. They also talk about the offer Dunk has to consider, as well as what he's now up against given his chivalry at the end of the episode.

Aerion might be a serious problem, people.

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 4: From Grey to Black

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 02:30:00 +0000

Oh, so your past actions have finally caught up with you? Well, you can't say you don't deserve it. However, you definitely don't deserve a night out with Rishi. Clean up your act, go home, take care of your son and self-publish your article. Remember, if you believe it, they'll believe it. Lean in.

Bankole & Eyo are back, dragging themselves off the road to discuss this week's episode of 'Industry'. They comb through the episode's plot beats, including Henry finding a new puppeteer, Whit's growing influence & the Yasmin/Haley mind games. Later, William Goodman joins them to discuss Rishi's continued descent into the stages of hell and who he brings along this week.

Boundaries Where? Previewing 'Industry' Season 4, Episode 4 | The Trading Desk

Bankole Imoukhuede — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:01:00 +0000

Gotta be careful whose house you stay in.

Ebube and AJ flew Ore in for a debrief on how the lack of boundaries in the Mucks’ marriage is likely to destroy every other boundary in the show before the season is over.

They touch on Yasmin’s misguided sense of authority and her tendency to default to seduction when she feels cornered, Henry’s newfound self-advocacy, and Harper’s inability to be compatible with peace.

It’s a wild one, and somehow Kwabena still managed to miss the first fifteen minutes.

'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Season 1, Episode 2: Just Hangin' Out

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 03:30:00 +0000

Welcome to Arlan's Anatomy, a show completely different from the one we signed up for, yet just as jaw dropping.

After recovering from the episode's BOLD opening scene, Ebube, Afam and Soonen take a moment to acknowledge the firmly established rhythm of HBO's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', and discuss how quickly — and effectively — the show is expanding its world.

They share their thoughts on this era's crop of Targaryen overlords, what makes a great ruler, and why Dunk only has a chance at the lists, and with a certain tall lady, if he actually shoots his shot.

Also, Afam also tries to convince the guys that Egg is secretly evil.

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 3: Pink Bubblegum

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 02:45:00 +0000

Attention all, it’s time for our annual C-Suite field trip. This year, the options range from our very own Sunderland (home of the mighty Black Cats) to an Austrian Castle whose owners may or may not have funded The Reich. Please be civil to our hosts and remember to lodge all inter-personal relationships with HR.

Bankole & Eyo are back for this week’s ’Industry’ episode. As they split their time between SternTao and Tender, they try to understand Harper & Yasmin’s motivations, why the Prime Minister gets involved, and whether burping is a symptom of pregnancy; all normal questions.

Previewing 'Industry' Season 4, Episode 3: Glorious Purpose | The Trading Desk

Bankole Imoukhuede — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 08:30:00 +0000

Their name is Tender, and they come burdened with glorious purpose.

After an incredible exploration of Sir Henry Muck's rebirth, Ebube and AJ tap Osehgale to figure out how purpose differs from function in 'Industry' Season 4, and what this distinction will mean for each character in episode 3 and beyond. They also note the show's likely return to money matters.

They reflect on how Henry's near implosion affected Yasmin, how Yasmin will find relevance and respect as the season progresses, if at all, and what Harper's major conflicts will be in episode 3, as well as what role Eric will play in the ensuing expansion of the story, given his unique perspective among the main cast. While they're at it, one tenacious member of the group tries to convince the others that Rose could have saved Jack after the Titanic went down.

They of course also take some time to dissect Hayley's role in the story, and try to figure out what kind of chaos — or disaster — awaits her and everyone she becomes entangled with. Why be a moon, revolving around one planet, when you can be a comet and crash into three?

Minor PLURIBUS Spoilers from 8:50 - 13:20

Bankole is trying to figure out if Emmanuel & Pete were monsters back when he first met them, as they continue to discuss ‘Fallout’ Season 2. They first of all cover this episode’s similarities to this year’s other sci-fi show, 'Pluribus', before heading back to the flashbacks to unpack Barb’s role in all of this. After touching on The Ghoul’s new friend, they wrap up by discussing why The Vault storylines just aren’t working for them right now.

'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Series Premiere: Charm Offensive!

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 03:30:00 +0000

Ever watched an episode of TV that felt both like a warm hug and a brisk bucket of ice? Like a song of ice and fire perhaps? Well, you certainly have if you've seen this one!

HBO's brand new 'Game of Thrones' spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', is finally here and the squad is stoked to be back in Westeros. Ebube summoned Afam and Soonen to discuss the great new frontier this show represents for the Game of Thrones brand, the context it has the potential to provide for the two George R. R. Martin adaptations that have already premiered, and the fact that this is bound to be a fun ride.

They also praise the production design and costuming, as well as the stellar performances, shouting out the two incredibly charming leads — Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell — and how everything on screen comes together to kickstart a journey that might just be a welcome departure from the status-quo.

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 2: The Death and Life of Henry Muck

Bankole Imoukhuede — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 02:45:00 +0000

So your business failed spectacularly, you “shared their needles” and lost a guaranteed political seat? Fine, you’ve had a rough go at it, but it's time to integrate it into your life, love your supportive wife and bring back that stiff upper lip. It's your 40th birthday and The Commander's back in town!

Bankole and Eyo return to discuss the excellently harrowing second episode of 'Industry' Season 4. On the way, they touch on what makes this episode special, the insight we get into Henry Muck's past and present, his need for a purpose and oh, Charles Hannani being the absolute worst (again).

Friendships Are Ticking Time Bombs on 'Industry' Season 4, Episode 2 | The Trading Desk

Bankole Imoukhuede — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 18:40:06 +0000

Looks like it might be another tough season for friendships.

Unlike Jonah, Ebube and AJ are exceedingly focused people, who want to have more and be more, which is why they start by establishing that this season is a new dawn for HBO's 'Industry', and discussing what this rebirth might mean for its narrative and tone.

They salute Harry Lawtey’s Robert and explain how his absence from the new season is a feature and not a bug, and they talk about what might be in store for each character in the coming episodes. They also point out that Whitney might be a lot more dangerous than meets the eye...

It’s gonna be an unhinged season. Buckle up, fucklehead.

The Case for 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms': A Hype Preview!

Bankole Imoukhuede — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 09:40:40 +0000

Ready for an adventure? HBO certainly is, so we might as well strap in too.

With 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' just around the corner, Ebube and Soonen start by delving into why HBO’s brand new Game of Thrones spinoff will feel familiar, but different in all the right ways. They explain what a hedge knight actually is, and point out some of the ways this show will add some much-appreciated context to what casual viewers might know about the George R. R. Martin’s colossal epic. They also explain why no prior knowledge is required, as this show is expected to be among other things, a great hang.

Bankole, Emmanuel & Pete have shaken off their addictions and are ready to discuss their best two episodes of this 'Fallout' season so far.

As ‘Industry’ returns for its fourth season, Bankole and Eyo are back to witness its increasing audacity. They discuss the continually growing ambitions of the show, the new storylines we’re thrown into and of course, what our favourite ex-Pierpoint employees are up to.

"How about an Atom Bomb?”

What could make a better Christmas present? It's the face-off we've all been waiting for as Manousos finally makes it to Carol, and calling it explosive might be putting it mildly. Cris and Ebube take stock of Carol's journey and the person she's become, and what that might mean for the hero's journey she has ahead now that she's Walter White.

They evaluate the essence of experiencing paradise in trouble, the importance of empathy, and the best destinations for a honeymoon tour. Season two can't come fast enough.

On Apple TV's 'Pluribus' this week, Carol takes a page out of Koumba's book and decides to live life to the fullest, serving her spite with a side of glee! Meanwhile, a certain gentleman's spite gives hers a run for its money. Ebube and Cris compare the journeys of Carol and Manousos, delving into what drives them — literally at times — and speculating on what might actually happen once they finally meet.

They also talk about the powerful reunion at the end of the episode and what it means for Carol's state of mind, as well as her feelings going forward. What has she learned exactly?

"What happens in Vegas..."

Apple TV's 'Pluribus' hits the ground running this week! Ebube and Cris begin by dissecting the episode’s ominous opening and how it deftly reflects the most relatable aspects of Carol’s humanity, praising the writers for not being afraid to reward their audience for being attentive.

Their discussion goes on to dive into Mr. Diabate’s approach to the amenable apocalypse and his handling of Carol, as well as the new depths of loneliness the story seems to have in store for Carol given what she learns in Vegas.

They of course also break down the true implications of the Hive's big revelation about what it takes to “join” and celebrate Manousos finally getting some fresh air.

We all need space sometimes. So Ebube and Cris are staying as far as they possibly can from all freezers as they reel from the fifth episode of Apple TV's 'Pluribus'.

They start by suggesting a new home for Carol while taking stock of the new information we get about the Joined (10:55), as well as the fact that Laxmi never changes, before discussing the implications of Carol effectively being treated like an existential threat (12:48).

They then discuss Carol's recording persona, the highlights of her milk investigation, and her fierce battle with the OG scavengers. They also weigh in on the discourse about the Joined bearing uncanny similarities to generative AI, and talk about whether that should affect the way people perceive the show itself (39:20).

They of course finish by diving into the episode's quietly intense ending and how it potentially changes the tone of the entire show (52:51), after which they address comments from the audience (01:03:52).

Time for an experiment! And a love overdose while we're at it. Turns out Carol's a big fan of the scientific method, or at least some semblance of it — we'll put a pin on that for now.

Ebube and Cris commend Carol for thinking outside the box as she tries to understand what the Hive can and can’t do for her, and they discuss just how likely — or not — she truly is to save the world from happiness.

They start by sharing general thoughts on the episode, before honing in on a certain starving gentleman from Paraguay. Then they explore the implications of Carol asking deeper questions as she realizes she can seek truth in more ways than one, while confronting what love means to her.

With Apple TV's 'Pluribus' now in full swing, Ebube and Cris start by slowly unraveling the layers of Carol’s inadvertent and self-imposed misery, before going on a semi-philosophical search for the meaning of life.

They question Carol’s will to live and whether she can actually be happy and count the ways she’s blocking her peace, as well as discuss the role of Helen’s memory in Carol’s rage.

They also talk about what Carol should have learned by now, and learn themselves that grenades might be dangerous things to wish for...

Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.

After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.

Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).

'Gen V' Season 2 Finale: What's Poppin'?

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 08:30:00 +0100

The whole squad is in for the showdown of a lifetime this week, as Thomas Godolkin's plan is finally revealed, so we brought back-up too — Ebube joins the Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale this week to make sense of the finale of 'Gen V' season two.

They start by discussing bob-gate, as well as the fandom's mixed feelings about the end of the season and what it could mean for the future of both 'Gen V' and 'The Boys', then they get into the potential plot conveniences while praising the finale's incredible performances (Keeya, please call Oseghale). They also try to decide whether the show used Thomas Godolkin effectively enough, and if there's more to Sage's role than we all initially thought.

Plus, Polarity gets his flowers for being the actual adult in the room, and the squad shares their thoughts on the episode's fun cameos, as well as the newly revealed resistance.

Ebube subs in for Chris this week, but our squad doesn't miss a beat as they engage in one of the all-time great debriefs. Bankole, Angel and Ebube are under intense interrogation this week about the events of the penultimate episode of 'Slow Horses' Season 5. First, they respond to some recent comments from our YouTube listeners (6:24) before heading - with their eyes closed - to the Piss Underpass (19:55). They then wrap up by heading to The Park and scrutinising Claude's saviour complex and deciding just who to trust (28:30).

'Gen V' Season 2, Episode 7: Main Character Syndrome

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 08:30:00 +0100

You know that feeling? The bittersweet one?... When your wild theory turns out to be true and you’re stoked, but also your wild theory turned out to be true so now your favorite characters are absolutely cooked? Yeah?… Well so do we.

On the penultimate episode of Gen V Season 2, Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale find themselves reckoning with the fact that Marie might be not just the Avatar, but Paul Atreides. They get into the true implications of her seemingly limitless power, the extent to which Cate is — or isn't — redeemable, and how Keeya Kings’s portrayal of Annabeth is becoming an emotional cornerstone for the season. (Keeya, please call Oseghale if you're reading this).

They also make some Godolkin University-educated guesses on who’s most likely to die in next week’s season finale. Somehow, they additionally end up trying to figure out the mechanics of what is definitely the most repulsive pocket dimension put to fiction. Lock in, buddy.

'Slow Horses' Season 5, Episode 4: What Did You Just Do?

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 02:45:00 +0100

The squad dives into the wild events of the mayoral rallies on this week’s ‘Slow Horses’. Before that though, they herald the upcoming arrival of the next Apple TV+ show based on books by Mick Herron — ‘Down Cemetery Road’ — set to premiere once Slow Horses concludes its current season.

Now halfway through the season, the chaos is like a train wreck — we can't stop watching. River and Coe have taken the description of "Loser-Misfit-Boozer" to entirely new heights this time, while Flyte rapidly skyrockets up our likability rankings.

Bankole, Angel and Chris also can’t help but praise Claude’s unexpected competence in wielding his influence (7:20), and we’ll just have to see how long that lasts.

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 08:30:00 +0100

Oh... You need a break? Today?! Nah, not here. Get in, loser — we’re heading to a doomsday bunker.

The squad is holed up with their favorite billionaire this week as they try to figure out what comes next for the Elmira escapees. They start by being grateful that Sam and the Kool-Aid man have a lot in common, even though he desperately needs to learn how to actually fight, and then try to bridge the gap between Marie and Annabeth.

They also debate the wisdom if any, as well as the potential pitfalls, of the storyline and characters of Prime Video’s ‘The Boys’ becoming more relevant in ‘Gen V’, as well as Cipher’s plan, power mechanics and true connection to Marie.

Plus, some VERY prescient theories for the close of the seasonal arc!

'Slow Horses' Season 5, Episode 3: A New Rhythm?

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 02:45:00 +0100

Wait a second... Is Lamb... Worried?!

Bankole, Chris and Angel are on the edge of their seats this week, watching Jackson Lamb potentially on the back foot for what might just be the first ever in what is probably Bankole's favorite episode of 'Slow Horses' till date.

The guys start by dutifully listening to Angel explain why everyone should watch HBO's 'The Pitt' — she's very convincing — and then go on to discuss the duality of enjoying seeing the agents working together in one place while wishing they weren't doing it in captivity.

The team also tries to discern just how much truth might be present in Lamb's tall tale, and if he could even be talking about himself, as well as how it's possible for Roddy to be as delusional and irresponsible as he is. They of course also hand out this week's Louisa Awards for competence and decide who this week's slowest horse is.

'Gen V' Season 2, Episode 5: Homecoming

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 08:45:00 +0100

Welcome to fifth period, where we’ve got milk merchants, karma and comedy in session!

Oseghale is back! And he’s showing Bankole and Chiagoziem the insights that just might help Marie take down Cipher on Prime Video's 'Gen V'.

The crew huddles up to guess what colour Cipher’s blood truly is, and whether he’s fond of a certain blue injection from The Boys, before getting into the refreshing change of pace that is Sam getting some peace and resolution for once. They also rue the day Sage waltzed her way into this script, and crown Emma once again as the funniest character in the show because of course she is.

At 33:46, skip to 34:34 to avoid light spoilers for Severance Season 2.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, suicidal ideation, self harm and eating disorders.

'Slow Horses' Season 5, Episode 2: A Crack-Up, a Drunk, a Psycopath...

Bankole Imoukhuede — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 02:45:00 +0100

Does anyone do any work around here? Well, of course not — this is Slough House. And somehow Roddy's delusion has only grown since last week.

Bankole returns with Chris and Angel for the second episode of 'Slow Horses' season 5 on Apple TV+, and miraculously they might be on the same wavelength with Lamb for once: they can't decide which character is the least competent.

They start by providing some much needed recommendations for the current — and upcoming — season of TV (what a time to be alive). Then they get into this week's action and give props to Shirley for being the only agent who's actually awake in this episode (7:10). They also put out a notice that Claude's days are numbered, and take some educated guesses on what the assailants' true motives might be. Is it all connected?...

It's the fight of the decade in the world of 'The Boys'! And frankly, we're scared in the front row.

Bankole and Chiagoziem are tag teaming this fight for this week's 'Gen V' and they give each other their flowers for all the predictions they correctly made about the events of this episode, before proceeding to set them on fire as they're hit by the curve ball the story throws them about Cipher.

They praise Cipher's calm intellect and discuss the show's apt naming system for goats, inadvertently cementing the status of Avatar: The Last Airbender as iconic storytelling, all while fearing for Jordan's life and wondering if there are certain angles best left unseen in the bathroom.

They discuss the current state of affairs for each character in an attempt to figure out who's doing the worst, weigh Louisa's big decision, and grieve River not knowing what to do with himself, before making an official proclamation of Lamb's greatest insults.

And while they're at it, they try to uncover who may be after Roddy.

Does 'Severance' Season 2 Really Work?

Bankole Imoukhuede — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 04:00:00 +0000

As we say goodbye to the Apple TV+ phenomenon that is 'Severance' — hopefully not for too long — we decided to examine the settling dust to figure out whether the show's second season managed to stick the landing.

Ebube brings Chinedu in once again to address the finale's biggest questions, and this time they're joined by Bankole who has a lot to say about the show's seasonal arc and the online discourse that's stemmed from it.

They start by trying to decide whether the season worked as a whole, and then go on to dissect the emotional heart of the show, and how it reveals that the finale's outcome was inevitable. They also address the show's potential missteps, as well as the internet's hot takes, to figure out which gripes are justifiable before discussing the show's impact on the modern TV landscape.

So tap in. The table is round, and it's shaking.

Bankole Imoukhuede — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 01:45:00 +0000

We're flies on the wall this week for 'Severance' on Apple TV+ as we watch seemingly every main character have some kind of on-screen meltdown as they try to get what's theirs.

Ebube and Chinedu are back with AJ for a fun session of figuring out what the heck is wrong with everyone. They dive into Dylan's ring, Helly's eggs and Milchick's eloquence, as well as the show apparently having its very own Robert Baratheon all along. They also entertain Chinedu's borderline upsetting theories on Gemma, which Ebube might still be processing.

So get a plate. The eggs are better raw.
