    Week 37 - Paddleton

    Week 37 is now live, and we begin our Kiwi series. Even though we are 13 hours apart we are connected in spirit, film, news and most importantly, via a webcam. 📹  This week we review the dry tragic bromance that is Paddleton. We discuss the film-making of the Duplass Brothers, if we love Raymond as much as everyone else does and rank Paddleton as a game against Sabac and most importantly, Will's Superhero Boardgame. 🃏  We also bring you new trailer news for Tolkien and the final trailer for the final series of Game of Thrones. Finally!   Beats provided by Lakey Inspired.
