Description

In this episode we’re looking at 2016, a profoundly disappointing year in which the Grim Reaper culled as many beloved celebrities as they could, while also finding time to oversee Britain’s disastrous exit from the European Union and the first inauguration of unending human failure President Donald Trump.



Was David Bowie the anchor being who stabilised our universe? Did the end of the world start here? And why did Generation Z come together over the tragic death of a silverback gorilla? All these questions and more will be answered.
