In this episode, we dive into the fiery world of mythical beasts to explore the key differences between dragons and wyverns—and how pop culture keeps getting it wrong. From Hollywood blockbusters to hit TV shows, these creatures are often confused, mislabeled, or blended into one scaly stereotype.
We break down the defining traits: how many limbs they have, how they fly, and what truly separates a dragon from a wyvern in myth and fantasy lore. Plus, we take a cross-cultural journey comparing Western dragons—fire-breathing, treasure-hoarding monsters—with Eastern dragons, the wise, serpentine spirits of water and air.

Timey-Wimey, Wibbly-Wobbly Ranking Chaos Incoming!
Buckle up, Whovians—this week, the TARDIS is a bit crowded as I team up with the ultimate nerdy dream team: my mum Kerry and brilliant sister Ashlea, a.k.a. the Nerds of the Round Table. It’s family, it’s full-on geekery, and it gets very British, very fast.
We’re diving headfirst into New-Who with a no-holds-barred ranking of every Doctor’s first and last episodes—from Nine’s dramatic debut to Thirteen’s swan song, all the way to the Fourteenth Doctor’s 60th anniversary comeback. And yes, we’re throwing honourable mentions at the War Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor, and all the wonderfully weird moments in between.
Expect passionate rants, nostalgic tears, a few chaotic laughs.
Smash that play button, don’t blink, and… ALLONS-Y!

In this episode, we put on our capes (metaphorically… mostly) and dive headfirst into the world of superhero movies and their massive impact on modern cinema. 🦸♂️🎬
We kick things off by comparing Man of Steel with the original Superman films—exploring how tone, storytelling, and cinematic style have evolved over the decades. But, in true chaotic fashion, we quickly veer off course and end up in full-blown MCU territory.
From Phase 1 nostalgia to Phase 4 confusion, we get into what works, what doesn’t, and how Marvel managed to turn a connected universe into the blueprint for blockbuster storytelling. It’s less of a focused analysis and more of an enthusiastic cinematic ramble. Buckle up.
Hosted by: Ethan Osborne.
