For the last fortnight, you've either been obsessing over the London Olympics or doing your darndest to try and avoid it. Podcast! The Movie this week straddles that line perfectly - half in awe of the spectacle, half taking chunks out of competitive sports for fun and/or profit. Mostly fun.
Surely there couldn't be too many opening ceremonies with a giant Voldemort scaring choreographed children while Queen Elizabeth II parachuted out of a helicopter, soundtracked by Sir Paul McCartney? Well, maybe there should be more! We talk the big night's winners and losers, along with some sports that have received popularity boosts from unlikely sources.
Alasdair, Rob and Mitch racked their brains to come up with sports-themed inclusions for AV&A, the end result is a doosy. The Dropkick Murphys, early 90s Hollywood training montages and sports-based mini games all emerge victorious, while the losers clutch their stomachs and vomit uncontrollably.
Speaking of losing control over your bodily functions, Alasdair wraps up the show with a quiz that tests our knowledge of where sports and pop culture collide. Sorry, Gordon Bombay and his Mighty Ducks don't even get a mention, that's how intense this competition is!
