Modern Escapism
247 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 months ago -A weekly podcast where five friends talk pop culture from TV, Games, Movies, Books, Music, Wrestling, Comics, Podcasts and everything in between.
Each week we discuss the news from the pop culture & media world as well as reviewing what media we've been consuming that week.
After we've covered the news & reviews we have a weekly feature ranging from all kind of fun ideas, full of our favourite or least favourite things, pure fantasy scenarios and even concept episodes where we have to get super creative (check out our wesbite and previous epsiodes for the things we've covered). The list of features are really varied & endless, and we encourage all our listeners to get involved with the discussion too.
Our main aim is to help our listeners procrastinate and get away from the real world for a couple of hours, have a laugh with us and hopefully come away with some fantastic recommendations.
Join us every Thursday for a new episode and let's procrastinate together.

October 28, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBThey say there's nothing original in this world and this week, we're gonna prove it. We're talking shameless, unoriginal, unmitigated rip offs.

September 16, 2021 03:00 - 2 hours - 126 MBWe all love a franchise. But not every franchise is made equal, not all achieve the success of the MCU.

July 22, 2021 03:00 - 2 hours - 127 MBIt's a question that's plagued gamers for all time; what is the greatest game ever? Well, in our sheer arrogance and hubris, we've decided that it's up to us to decide that. Like we did with our Best Biscuits episode, we're taking it upon ourselves to pitch our favourite games against each other to decide, for the world, what the GOAT video game is. But before all that, we discussed: The Walking Dead My Dad Wrote A Porno Fast & Furious 9 Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart Skratch Bastid C...

Well, this week, we're talking about the media that we feel jumped the shark. Videogames, films, TV shows that all did the stupidest stuff that made no sense whatsoever. Be warned, it's a ranty one.

42: Near A Tomato
July 01, 2021 03:00 - 2 hours - 122 MBWe all grow up. Well... some of us grow up. But one thing we all do, is evolve... Most of us do... Okay, what I'm trying to say is, there's plenty of media out there which we enjoyed (or disliked) once upon a time only for our opinion to change. We might have loved a certain film as a child only to rewatch it as an adult and realise it's awful, or we may have disregarded a style of music in our youth only to adore it as we age. This week we're talking about the things that we've changed our...
