Marv's thoughts

Apologies for the recording, as it was recorded using the laptop's built-in microphone. The studio space wasn't available. Also, it is longer than intended, hence it being split into two parts.

Marv chats with Sean from "[sigh] Review It Yourself" about films, and so much more. They even broach the subject of Sean's plethora of subseries, which include Defend It Yourself, Visit It Yourself, Explain It Yourself, the British Bake Off reactions, Beverages With Bill, and so many more. Trust me, I know how long this episode is, and I did try to edit it down. But I just couldn't find anything that wasn't necessary! I cut out around 5 minutes, with three and a half minutes of that being a trip to the toilet, and no one wants to hear that! Outside of show time, Marv and Sean chatted for about another hour or so. Get yourself a pot of tea, a box of Family Choice biscuits, and listen to two guys chatting about stuff for a ridiculously long time! https://podfollow.com/1590846415/
