This week we step away from movies and into one of Netflix’s most addictive series: Narcos, the brutal true story drama following Pablo Escobar, the Medellín cartel and the people trying to bring them down. Wagner Moura is extraordinary as Escobar, Pedro Pascal brings a completely different energy as Javier Peña, and the mix of real archival footage with dramatic recreation makes the whole thing feel uncomfortably real.

We also get into the flaws, the violence can occasionally feel excessive, and because so much of the dialogue is in Spanish with English subtitles, look away at your phone for ten seconds and you’ll probably be rewinding. But with incredible performances, fascinating behind the scenes trivia and a true story so outrageous it often feels fictional, Narcos is absolutely worth the commitment.

If you’re looking for something to binge through the dark November evenings, put the phone down, get Netflix on and give this one a proper chance.

This week on the dating podcast, I’m trying to solve one of the strangest phrases I’ve seen on a dating profile: “Short term… but long term okay.” What does that actually mean? Are we dating, hooking up, or applying for a temporary position with the possibility of permanent employment?

We get into the madness of modern dating language, mixed intentions, casual relationships, commitment, and why dating apps are starting to feel less like romance and more like a bloody job interview. I genuinely don’t have the answer on this one, so I’m throwing it out to you: what does “short term, long term okay” actually mean?

This week’s Movie of the Week is The Equalizer, with Denzel Washington at his absolute best as Robert McCall, calm, controlled, quietly dangerous, and somehow more intimidating because he barely needs to raise his voice. We get into why McCall stands apart from action heroes like James Bond, Jason Bourne and Bryan Mills from Taken, and whether Denzel’s sheer presence and swagger might actually put him on top in a straight fight.

We also look at the human side of the story, especially McCall’s decision to protect Teri, plus the behind-the-scenes trivia around Denzel shaping the character, Chloë Grace Moretz fighting for the role, Antoine Fuqua’s direction, and how this film became the beginning of Denzel’s first trilogy. It’s brutal, stylish, surprisingly warm, and one of those movies that works because there’s far more going on than just action.

The F1 championship heads to Austin with Kimi Antonelli holding a massive 102-point advantage, and, incredibly, he now has a mathematical chance of becoming World Champion this weekend. We break down exactly what needs to happen, including the crucial results required from George Russell and Lewis Hamilton for Antonelli to seal the title with five races remaining.

We also dive into Christian Horner’s fascinating High Performance Podcast appearance, his admission that Red Bull was ultimately structured around Max Verstappen’s championship ambitions, and why his comments about only returning to a winning team reveal something much bigger about motivation and standards. In Formula 1, just like business and life, never assume everyone actually wants the same thing, and this could be one of the biggest sports weekends of the year.

Today’s episode goes completely off the rails as we talk about AI starting to act on its own, why that’s both incredibly cool and slightly terrifying, and the critically important question nobody asked: could one million chickens actually defeat 1,000 T-Rexes?

Then we get into the real dating and relationships conversation, rejection, vulnerability, and why there’s absolutely nothing embarrassing about admitting somebody didn’t want you. More importantly, what happens when someone completely outside the situation tries to control the narrative and somehow invents a position where they’re offended by somebody else’s rejection story?

AI taking over, dinosaur warfare, rejection and manufactured outrage, lads, what kind of ridiculous fucking world are we living in?

This week we’re diving into Schumacher 94, the Netflix documentary looking back at Michael Schumacher’s extraordinary first Formula 1 World Championship with Benetton. We get into the Senna comparisons, Pat Symonds’ point about early-season momentum, the traction-control controversy, Willy Weber’s role in Schumacher’s rise, and the brutal reality of Imola after the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger.

We also revisit the Silverstone controversy with Damon Hill and the dramatic Adelaide finale that decided the title. It’s a fascinating look at one of the most intense seasons in F1 history, a year of brilliance, tragedy, controversy and the moment Schumacher truly announced himself to the sports world.
