Spoilers for 'Marty Supreme' from 58:10 - 1:00:50Were all the roads always leading to this? Is it worth it to be necessary if I'm necessary for the wrong reasons? Do I stop protecting my heart if it means I may have to pay the cost? Can we ever come back from this? I guess Paris is overrated. Bankole & Eyo are reevaluating everything they thought they knew about each other as they discuss the excellent season four finale of HBO & BBC's 'Industry'.

Snake oil and sermons... Pretty similar, huh?With the Industry Season 4 finale finally upon us, Ebube and AJ take stock of Whitney's lies, Henry's frailties, Yasmin's self-delusion, and Harper's potential, as the story comes to a head, set to converge in one big splash.They weigh in on the debate concerning Whitney's fate and Henry's safety, praise Andrew Havill's Alexander Norton, and discuss what might be in Harper and Yasmin now that their relationship has evolved yet again."We're here forever, even if we can't be".

Nothing was the same.Ebube, Afam and Soonen get together to attend a dragon’s funeral. As they do, they contemplate the aftermath of last week’s events and examine each character’s perspective on the deep loss — particularly Dunk and Valarr — before dissecting Maekar’s point of view to get to the meat of why he makes his offer to Dunk.They discuss Egg, as well as his drip and the reason he does what he does at the end of the episode. They also talk about why this season worked, what Emmy category it belongs in, and why we’ll be seated front and center for the next one no matter what.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
A few hours from the biggest payday of your career, you're sitting on the floor, cigarette in hand and drenched in the stench of a London night out. You can't remember when you last felt this good, but surprisingly, you're staying in the moment. You've earned this night, you deserve this night. This is your victory lap. As your best - and maybe only- friend rests on your shoulders, you think about what you've both been through. You make a silent PROMISE to her: "If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, you know in the end, I'll always be there". William returns to chat with the guys about an 'Industry' episode of escapes (and attempts). After poring over that opening scene, they discuss Whitney's unsettling, otherworldly nature, a very stressful 24 hours in New York, Yasmin's escape plans and of course, the club night everyone's talking about.

Now that the world is officially on fire, Ebube brings Emike in to discuss what's next for the characters; whether Yasmin's marriage will survive, how much more we'll see of Whitney, and whether Ken Leung will win the Emmy he so greatly deserves. AJ has several thoughts on all these passing matters.While they're at it, they assess Harper's strength, Henry's safety, and the idea that a savior might be coming to comfort them. Emike and AJ also take some time to illustrate how the ladies of London — and the world, frankly — have had their fair share of Kwabena's kind.

R.I.P to a real one.After delivering what possibly amounts to the most disgruntled eulogy of all time, Ebube summons Afam and Soonen through gritted teeth to talk about the loss that’s currently hurting him the most, courtesy of this episode — he can’t decide whether to love or hate Ira Parker, but stay tuned.They get into the tragedy of how the events unfolded and how it’s partly a commentary on class warfare, before breaking down the story beats within the fight and the flashback, as well as the fascinating lore surrounding it. They discuss what's been lost, the significance of the episode's title, what the flashback really shows us about Dunk, and the fact that no good deep goes unpunished in the world of Game of Thrones.We’ll all need some time to recover.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

From Eric's terrible parenting to Harper's insatiable ambition, Sweetpea's glorious purpose and Yasmin's denial, the stage is set for an explosive series of events in the second half of Industry's fourth season.Ebube and AJ take stock of where we are now, bidding farewell to Jim and Rishi, questioning Sweetpea's seemingly bottomless audacity, and joining the long list of people begging Eric to get it to together.

"How good a knight are you?"... Guess we'll find out.Ebube brings Bankole in to join the the guys for an incredibly fun roundtable and a lesson in the laws of gods and men, but frankly the real question here is how cooked Dunk truly is.Once Bankole recaps his own perspective on the show with a carefully curated list of "jokes", the guys deliberate on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Baelor being the greatest Targaryen ever put to screen, Aerion being the kind of demon that's actually worth fearing, and Maekar living out all the stresses of fatherhood all at once.They also touch on the newest Targaryens revealed to us, discussing what Daeron brings to the table and what might be next for the baldest prince in history, all while trying to figure out what could possibly go right in a Trial of Seven.What even is that??!!!!You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Bankole Imoukhuede, Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
You mess with the Egg, you get fried!Ebube, Soonen and some guy yelling about Egg with a bag over his head are reeling from the wonderful revelation at the end of episode three. Turns out our little bald friend is more than meets the eyeThey talk about what Egg’s relationships could mean for the story, as well as how the smallfolk’s view of the royal family might be keeping the Targaryens on edge. They also talk about the offer Dunk has to consider, as well as what he's now up against given his chivalry at the end of the episode.Aerion might be a serious problem, people.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Oh, so your past actions have finally caught up with you? Well, you can't say you don't deserve it. However, you definitely don't deserve a night out with Rishi. Clean up your act, go home, take care of your son and self-publish your article. Remember, if you believe it, they'll believe it. Lean in. Bankole & Eyo are back, dragging themselves off the road to discuss this week's episode of 'Industry'. They comb through the episode's plot beats, including Henry finding a new puppeteer, Whit's growing influence & the Yasmin/Haley mind games.

Gotta be careful whose house you stay in.Ebube and AJ flew Ore in for a debrief on how the lack of boundaries in the Mucks’ marriage is likely to destroy every other boundary in the show before the season is over.They touch on Yasmin’s misguided sense of authority and her tendency to default to seduction when she feels cornered, Henry’s newfound self-advocacy, and Harper’s inability to be compatible with peace.It’s a wild one, and somehow Kwabena still managed to miss the first fifteen minutes.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & OreProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
It is a mega-pod but an emotional one as Jibbz & Ayisha are joined by special guest, Denisa, to discuss generational & familial trauma in 'Sentimental Value' (05:36), followed by a breakdown of what they did not love about 'Hamnet' (43:30).

Welcome to Arlan's Anatomy, a show completely different from the one we signed up for, yet just as jaw dropping.After recovering from the episode's BOLD opening scene, Ebube, Afam and Soonen take a moment to acknowledge the firmly established rhythm of HBO's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', and discuss how quickly — and effectively — the show is expanding its world.They share their thoughts on this era's crop of Targaryen overlords, what makes a great ruler, and why Dunk only has a chance at the lists, and with a certain tall lady, if he actually shoots his shot.Also, Afam also tries to convince the guys that Egg is secretly evil.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Attention all, it’s time for our annual C-Suite field trip. This year, the options range from our very own Sunderland (home of the mighty Black Cats) to an Austrian Castle whose owners may or may not have funded The Reich. Please be civil to our hosts and remember to lodge all inter-personal relationships with HR. Bankole & Eyo are back for this week’s ’Industry’ episode. As they split their time between SternTao and Tender, they try to understand Harper & Yasmin’s motivations, why the Prime Minister gets involved, and whether burping is a symptom of pregnancy; all normal questions.
