Is this the way to armadillo? This is a good relevant joke just trust me on this. This episode is a very exciting turn into video game territory with 2013’s The Last of Us! Lew takes the reins with some fun facts and a quiz, Graeme discusses jamming on the guitar whilst on the loo, and Kieran sits back and enjoys not prepping notes! ---- Spotted a Wilhelm in a film, TV show or game?

JURASSIC PARK! Well sadly, not really, it’s 2015’s Jurassic World instead. The sequel/reboot (don’t get Kieran started) doesn’t get much love from The Team, but they do discuss some fascinating unmade Jurassic Park 4 scripts, Michael Giacchino’s score and Chris Pratt: Raptor Whisperer. So to quote a famous velociraptor: ‘ALAN’. Which we believe translates as: ‘Have a listen!’. ---- Spotted a Wilhelm in a film, TV show or game? Let us know about it!

'We like to move it move it’. And by ‘it’ we mean the podcast schedule. Sorry folks, but due to circumstances probably absolutely under our control, we’ve had to shift off The Wild Bunch and sub in Sacha Baron Cohen as a lemur doing a dodgy accent. Sure you’ll hardly notice. It’s a fun episode though! We tackle a train station scream, Lew hates it (always a good time) and Graeme digs in to the origins of the happy birthday song.
