Episode 101 - 1984 Movie Special

Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the boys go back to the movies to discuss the dystopian classic 1984. They look at the prominent themes of the fim, including 'newspeak' and how Orwell's prohetic vision of the misuse of language is evident today, how mind control works, and the political and social zeitgeist that 1984 was first written in. Also, the 22 year-old Ukranian pyschopathic dwarf who masqueraded as a 6 year-old child, the New Zealand man who took an emotional support clown with him into his work meeting, and Gaz finally goes 'Full Alex'!
