For our holiday episode, we first chose Last Christmas. But, after being very disappointed with that film, we moved on to Happiest Season...and hated that movie also. #modernlifepod #henrygolding #happiestseason #christmasmovies #lastchristmas #kirstenstewart #emiliaclarke

We are back early from our break, after spending some time in the Wild West! Tabby & Sam grew up on Desperados, a tactics game for the PC, and can't wait to tell you all about the newest installment.

The sequel to The Last Of Us is finally out, and we have some very hot and cold feelings about the game. We need more giraffe moments!

Tabby joined a book club, read Stardust, and made everyone watch the Matthew Vaughn film. We loved this movie for its interesting side characters, the killer ensemble cast, and its wonderful sense of humour.
