    Episode 1 or 35: When life gives you lemons, play PES

    Welcome to Ventin' Quarantinos, the "new" podcast from Jim and Burns (and Dave) about nothing, normalcy, and trying to make the best of it.

    To keep sane, Burns has been playing PES, while Jim has been watching travelogues on Britbox and adding Live It Up by Mental As Anything to every one of Dave's Spotify playlists. Dave has been watching Tiger King on Netflix, and regretting the time he left his Spotify logged in on Jim's laptop.

    Episode #31: There's Only One Song About The Boys Being Back In Town

    Jim reckons that Amazon Prime's version of The Boys is miles better than their botched take on Preacher. But first, in a rare moment of intra-podcast camaraderie, everyone agrees that critics were wrong about the Lion King remake – we think it’s wonderful.

    Also: Burns is excited about The Irishman. Jim’s mum didn’t like Rocketman, but Dave did. Plus, why aren’t esports triumphs celebrated like any other competition win? Because they should be.
