Episode 76 of The Variety Show is here and it might be the strangest mix of topics we’ve had in a while.
Tom and Rob start with movies, including the Netflix sci-fi action film War Machine, which unexpectedly turns into a full appreciation segment for Alan Ritchson. There’s also a chat about the different eras of Spider-Man films, why Andrew Garfield might be underrated, and how modern blockbuster movies compare to the classics we grew up with.
Gaming chaos follows as the lads talk about introducing kids to video games. From the early disasters of Minecraft parenting to the surprisingly perfect starter game Goat Simulator 3, they discuss how modern kids jump straight into huge open-world games like Spider-Man 2 when we all started with a joystick and one button.
Then comes the Chipmunk Challenge — a quiz of badly described films that somehow manages to confuse two grown men who claim to love movies. Expect terrible clues, wild guesses, and the realisation that some films sound completely unhinged when described badly.
The food segment returns with a seasonal classic as Rob tries a Cadbury Creme Egg for the first time ever. The result? Let’s just say the sweetness causes immediate regret.
Finally, the Snack Sack returns with a drinks special featuring Sprite Lemon & Lime Tea, Coca-Cola Cherry Float, and Pepsi Max Tropical. One of them is surprisingly brilliant. One is deeply confusing. One is absolutely awful.
Add in a rant about the so-called worst songs of the 90s, a nostalgic discussion about Easter eggs, and plenty of completely unnecessary Alan Ritchson jokes… and you’ve got Episode 76.
Rude. Fun. Unfiltered.
