Ok, so there's a bit of Marvel content to talk about this time, and that's all excellent and all, but there's other stuff too! I mean, for example, do you want to know why Ben couldn't talk properly for a bit? It's semi gross! Do you want to know what Tom looks like while sweating over a new PC build? Yeah? Then step right up baby! It's the last episode before episode 50 too! We're not sure what we'll do to celebrate, but if there's something interesting you want us to uninterestingly talk about, then now's the time to send it our way - we'll probably read it out!

It seems that we're both heavily sold on Microsoft Flight Simulator, and will henceforth be recording the podcast from a life-sized mock-up cockpit. In-flight meals and all. As long as we can carry on watching Loki, listening to the 20-year-old Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, and rewatching Bo Burnham's Inside special. Then it'll all be 100% fine! In this episode we talk about approaching episode 50 - get in touch with any questions you want us to answer, or to be fair, any old comments you want two people to look at and maybe read out on a modestly successful podcast!

Yes yes, we had a slight audio issue recording this episode, but nothing major - please send us comments to point it out so that we might learn in penance for next time. But if you can get past that, we hope you're ready for some extreme news about wallpapers, a blistering section on mid-90s novels, and a whip-crack review of a camera!

The most impressive thing about this episode is that Tom put up some shelves all on his own, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Ok, so yes we do get to talking about the UK government's plans to help stop men hurting women so much, how to deal with all the productivity porn out there, a bit of the excellent Moxie, some Falcon and Winter Soldier thrown in and whether it was worth Ben spending four hours on Zack Snyder's Justice League... but it's the shelves that really sell it.

What a week for the public to have opinions!

What a time for science! NASA's Perseverance rover has touched down, and Tom has finally managed to cobble together a franken-Switch! One of these is a massively expensive exercise in pushing the boundaries of what humans can achieve, and landing on Mars is also pretty neat!
