About this episode

The episode explores themes of franchising, gang warfare, and the impact of virtual reality on childhood through the lens of Adventures in Odyssey.

The lads dive right into the heart of NOVACOM as they return to Odyssey for further adventures in franchising, gang warfare, and the terrifying video game that makes you old: Gloobers. Topics include the “evils” of VR, the inescapable childhood of the Boomer, and the vital importance of gloobin’ it with your buds. Want more TWOAPW?
