Midlife Mixtapes Episode 044 - Can anyone beat Netflix?
This week the boys compare two films - one is based on a Stephen King novel about a society numb to violence and in search of base thrills… and so is the other! The Running Man (1987) is one of Arnie’s best movies and much loved by us all - so we decided to go see the remake/ reboot and compare the two like the professional movie critics we all definitely are.

Midlife Mixtapes Episode 043 - Drama at the BBC
This week Ali, Chris, Phil and JP skip straight to the big news story of the week. The BBC is a British institution but what does all the recent rumpus mean for it’s reputation and future - is it an indicator or an instigator of polarised modern culture! We don’t really answer these hard questions but we have a laugh talking about it as though we can and that’s the real lesson in all of this… probably.
