Benjii, between getting steps in as his watch bugs him to, talks about what he thinks is going to be popular in 2020, a pre New Years resolution, exercise and just some general stuff he notices avoiding the news. Another weirdly wonderful, shambolic, unscripted podcast.

In the era of the arcade cabinet, Konami was not merely content with the home console. Alongside their Contra, Castlevania and Metal Gear franchises, the company also earned licenses to pop culture phenomenons X-Men, The Simpsons and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, transforming those three into side-scrolling beat 'em ups.  In 1990 though, four years after the release of the movie, Konami unleashed Aliens to video arcades around the world. More akin to a run and gun than a side-scrolling beat 'em up, it was one of the first ventures the Alien series made in the arcades.

Struggling to think of a topic to discuss for this week's episode, Benjii instead discuses about what went wrong with the 10 year anniversary of MUZAI Records and how it corresponds to his own demotivation and subsequent motivation getting into a good place again.

How long has it been since we've put up a podcast? Benjii returns from a long, long sabbatical (nee: playing video games) to discuss about the recent discovery of Ruggero Deodato's nasty piece of work, "Cannibal Holocaust" on his Amazon Prime membership. This podcast does include swearing and discusses topics which may upset some people. 

Is Cancer Research UK's latest campaign about obesity being a leading cause of cancer fat shaming? Maeve and Benjii vent about health in a post consumer wasteland.
