Episode 92 - Classic Video Game Music vs. Modern Video Game Music
Video games offer us a whole world of music that we don't normally find through the traditional outlets for music. The modern world of streaming and more democratization of arts distribution has of course allowed for easier paths to discover all of these wonderful musical delights... But that's a whole other discussion to be had. Today, we're talking about something else: What is better video game music, classic 8-bit and 16-bit era video game music or modern video game music? Join us as we attempt to debate something pretty darned subjective and see if we can extract any truths from this very opinion based discussion.

Episode 88 - Anachronisms
Anachronisms: they don't make sense by definition. Why would a writer or director include something anachronistic in their art? On this week's episode, we discuss whether or not anachronisms bother us. Big debate on this one. And, as usual, Grammar Corner!

Episode 87 - Art as Intellectual Property
Recently, Max & Nicky found out that another comedian had a very similar joke in his act to one of their own jokes. Should Max & Nicky stop doing the bit? Should the other comedian give it up? Who has the right to keep performing the joke? Is it okay for both acts to keep doing it? The situation is the basis for the topic of debate this week: art as intellectual property. Plus, another edition of Grammar Corner! Featuring special guest co-host Peter Banks-Kenny.

Splits hairs and splits sides
At least, my sides are splitting
Great podcast!
Max and Nicky's dry sense of humor and often unique perspectives on the various topics they dive into are consistently entertaining and insightful. Topics like 'which is better: burping or farting' turn hilariously analytical as they really try to unearth every argument and angle in as thorough a fashion as possible.
Insightful, hilarious, love it!
This podcast is so insightful and hilarious. At times, quite poignant. Definitely a fun weekly listen. Lovin’ it!
