EQ vs IQEpisode 6 - LomanHi, welcome back to EQ vs IQ with Orla and me Martin. This show starts off differently to normal, as I am only joined by Loman because Orla took a mini hiatus from the show. The show begins with a couple of my favourite sports stories caused by some pretty stupid rules. The movie being discussed in this recording is Super 8. Once again, it is a solo effort by me as Loman and Orla (kindly?) decided to give the movie a miss. Despite this, I still recommend that you give this one a watch....2021-05-2833 minEQ vs IQEpisode 5 - Cian O'CHi welcome back to EQ vs IQ with Orla and me, Martin. On this week's episode we are joined by one of our OGs, Cian. The show starts with Orla and I accidentally working together on this week's interesting topic. We make another attempt at discussing the brain as we dissect one of the craziest theories I've ever heard of.For the movie, Cian has selected Hacksaw Ridge. This week, there's quite the clash of opinion, not just on the movie itself, but about movie genres in general. As always, spoilers lie ahead.2021-04-0249 minEQ vs IQEpisode 4 - AmyHi welcome back to EQ vs IQ with Orla and me, Martin. On this week's episode we have another psychologist joining the show in Amy. Orla follows up on last week's promise by going through one of the most famous unsolved cases of all time. And yes, it's another serial killer.Amy, Orla and I then try to tackle this week's movie which is Donny Darko. Join us as we struggle to piece together exactly what happened in this brain-melter of a movie. However, I'm making no guarantees that you'll actually be any wiser as...2021-03-1938 minEQ vs IQEpisode 3 - LomanHi, welcome back to EQ vs IQ with Orla and me, Martin. Our guest for this recording is Loman, a fellow Engineer whose true nerdy passions lie in music. The show starts with me deciding to pay respect to some interesting words in the English language that you can use to spice up everyday conversation. Orla then gives us some *FUN* facts about serial killers.For the movie, Loman has picked Whiplash. We pay tribute to our favourite scenes, pick apart some the logistics and discuss the extent of the characters' devotion to succeeding a...2021-03-0536 minEQ vs IQEpisode 2 - Cian CHi, welcome back to EQ vs IQ with Orla and me, Martin.
