Skip and Drew celebrate 16 years of ‘knowing’ each other with show 22. And what a way to relaunch the podcast, by downing Absinthe and testing out GarageBand on Skip’s new MacBook Pro. This show is all about Iron Man which Skip and Drew review for your pleasure, after seeing it on the opening night, at that fine cinematic experience by the sea establishment, The Apollo Paignton.

Find out what we think about Robert Downey Jr as he dons the Iron Man suit, battling his company, alcohol and the shadowy terrorist group know as the Ten Rings. Drew remarks on Cate Blanchett’s remarkable performance as Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts and Art Malik’s role as ‘Yet another Arab Terrorist’ (YAAT).

This podcast was recorded under the influence of Absinthe and as such your hosts Skip and Drew cannot be held accountable for the inane banter that ensues.
