This week it’s umbrellas.Tax fans will be disappointed to hear that we’re talking about the object that keeps you dry as opposed to navigating the complexities of IR35 HMRC legislation.That said - and spoiler alert - traditional umbrellas are not popular in 2G1C Towers and get the kicking they deserve. And what does the future hold for umbrellas? Well, Joe gives us a bleak view of what awaits us as a civilisation which we should all hope is wrong. But probably won’t be. We finish off with our top five Simpsons characters and there are some big hitters in there, so unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 35 years you should be able to keep up. And if you are an under-a-rock-dweller then you’ve had a decent head start on the rest of us if Joe’s grim prediction for humankind in anything to go by…@2G1CPOD Hosted on Acast.

When is a prequel not a prequel? When it’s kind of mixed in to a sequel. Like The Godfather Part 2.But what other films deserve the more traditional prequel treatment?Well, the Cup this week has given the 2 Guys a challenge of giving their top 5 films ripe for prequels.It’s fair to say that one of them goes down a much darker path of cinematic choices than the other, but fear not - the prequel ideas are based (mostly) on ‘official’ back stories rather than their own concoctions.So sit back (unless you’re on the bus or train commenting), relax (again, unless you’re on the bus of train commuting) and enjoy two grown men doing a top 5 and clearly not being able to count to 5.@2G1CPODBONUSThis is Dan watching a Starwars trailer, I'm pretty sure its Dan anyway, ok its not him but lets just say it ishttps://youtu.be/LlFeBxSBZUo?si=YZwQMVIhJ5I9oYOd Hosted on Acast.

Like someone having a Ferrero Rocher at the ambassador’s reception, we are being truly spoilt by The Cup this week.It has blessed us with the review topic of The Films Of Arnold Schwarzenegger.Like kids in a candy shop, pigs in effluence or two middle aged men on a podcast, we’re giddy with excitement as we venture into timeless classics such as The Terminator, Terminator 2, Predator and Jingle All the Way. We finish with an all time great top 10, somehow managing to shoehorn Taylor Swift into a chart featuring the The Shamen and PM Dawn, and not just so we can use #TaylorSwift.Bill Burr's brief and not very PC summary of Arnie's career - https://youtu.be/JUrMSK8XWFc?si=evlyXJG4T2ntc3-g Hosted on Acast.

Another week, another review. And this time Lego has emerged from our cup and slid under the microscope of the two Guys’ gaze.Which is the worst Lego set ever? How on earth can a set be worth $200,000? And why are big boxes of Lego so filthy?We have a tribute to Carl Weathers, a hero of the pod from his roles in Rocky and Predator and inductee into the International Moustache Hall of Fame in 2016. We finish on a general discussion about favourite school subjects, a suggestion given to us on X by @jamiesinai. We won’t pretend our school dissection is in any way structured, disappointing given one of the presenters gushing over his love of English, but suffice to say there are some things mentioned that would be unlikely to happen in school nowadays…The best bicep shot in film Hosted on Acast.
