Gonarch's Lair episode 35: Liquorice Panic!

Full disclosure: this episode in no way commemorates anything of note or significance, our nasty natives are instead joined by a guest who has for a long time teased his arrival in the Lair; like a pea in the wrong pod, and earning the title of most distinguished visitor to the deadly den, Wayne endures Ross and Thom’s company for close to 4 hours of excruciating examination. In part one the taxing triumvirate play the homework games set by Kelly back in episode 28, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and NHL Hockey on the Sega Mega Drive, while discussing the British Podcast Awards, God of War, Retro Relish, Amazon Game Studios, Grainger Games, and No Man’s Sky Next; the incompetent inmates irrupt through three Commodore 64 classics as part of this month’s Head-to-Head, and we find out who will be winning a genuine prize from the Swing high score Community Challenge. We also chat about Richard and Judy, the NHS, Guy Ritchie, penis inversion, Edvard Munch, bullet ants, Coyote Peterson, and we finally discover when the last public execution by guillotine occurred in France. Dragon hippos include Thom’s comment cards, Wayne believing in himself and Ross unleashing hell.
