18. Papal Visit Pt. 1

WARNING, INFANT!If you came to the pod looking for informed Fall commentary, this episode might not be the best place to start. It was ostensibly to be about the Fall-filler “classic” Papal Visit, but things got badly derailed when we discussed our European adventure together earlier this year. If you’re looking for a decent introduction to our somewhat-Fall-related banter, check out our recent recent ep on Bonkers in Phoenix. Otherwise, enjoy the travelogue!As a result, the least-deserving song in the Fall catalogue is a two-episode special, so stay tuned.LADZ ON TOURWe’re going over our first and last pub crawl pilgrimage to Manchester, and get derailed into discussing beastmodes, Leigh Bowery at the Tate, sensitive actor Pedro Pascal, early British indie games, bouncy castles and other worthy matters.ALSO DISCUSSEDLS Lowry 360 experienceVR ColonoscopyLeigh BowerySHUT UP, LITTLE MAN!That egg gateDizzyRoman’s scenic death marchA bouncy castle near a church (church was on the left)The Mancunian NeckbeardThe semi-official MES pub crawlHoney, we have Cuphead at homeBank Holidays in ManchesterBEAST MODEPS.Don’t forget to follow our personal stacks.Roman is back with an exciting new Terrible Father adventure:Tom is still cranking away furiously on his comic, and you can read the last installment with its proper formatting.PPS.From one of the lavatories.
