Better Lighting

Better Lighting is based on the idea that the difference between the boring humdrum of daily life and the crisp sheen of the silver screen is simply better lighting!Ed and Dan won't admit it, but they're film buffs who won't shut up about it. (Don't get them started on the MCU Civil War debate again!) They're also avid gamers and generally into all things nerdy. Consider this your one-stop shop for nerd culture and general discussion from the perspective of two very opinionated people. So yeah... ANOTHER podcast. But at least this time there's Better Lighting!

    The One With Time Travel, Bleak Futures And Artificial Intelligence

    This week, the boys (Ed and Daniel) suddenly remember that they are—at least in theory—a movie podcast, so they sit down to watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. Shockingly, they actually have thoughts. Even more shockingly, some of those thoughts are almost coherent.There’s a lot to enjoy in the film, and the boys dive into its ideas about the future, humanity, and how we might coexist with AI… despite the fact that neither of them can successfully coexist with their own phones half the time.Daniel has also finally finished Resident Evil 4, which means the boys can now openly share their deep, spiritual, unshakeable hatred of Ashley. A hatred built not on malice, but on the universal human experience of shouting “JUST STAY BEHIND ME” at a fictional character who refuses to listen.It’s movies, it’s games, it’s chaos, it’s the boys doing what they do best: talking nonsense with absolute confidence and having a great time doing it.

    The One With The Guillotines

    The boys are back in town, bravely wading into topics that are—let’s be honest—several miles above their actual brain capacity. This week, Dan and Ed decide it’s finally time to tackle everyone’s favourite conversation starter… politics. Yes. Politics. Because what could possibly go wrong when two men armed with enthusiasm, half‑remembered documentaries, and zero qualifications start unpacking world events.They quickly arrive at the conclusion that there’s nothing ordinary people can do, and the only logical option is to “rise up like the French” and stage a revolution—despite neither of them being able to name more than one thing about the French Revolution with confidence.Somehow, in the midst of all this, the boys also manage to sketch out what they believe is a complete plan to “fix the situation in the Middle East.” It is, of course, wildly oversimplified, deeply optimistic, and absolutely not something anyone should treat as expert commentary. But it is very on‑brand for them.It’s chaotic. It’s overconfident. It’s the boys doing what they do best: talking nonsense with absolute conviction.

    The One Where The Boys Go LGBTQ+HDMIPS5

    In this episode, Daniel and Eddie set out with the noble goal of becoming excellent allies to the LGBT+ community… and immediately prove they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. Their hearts are in the right place, but their ideas? Chaotic. Confused. Deeply unhelpful. Anyone with sense should probably not treat them as educators on this topic — but they are trying, and that counts for something.The boys also dive into the big leadership shift at Xbox and the arrival of the new CEO. Is this the start of a bold new era, or the beginning of a slow, confused wobble into the abyss? Naturally, Daniel and Eddie believe they know exactly how to save the Xbox brand, despite having zero authority and even less restraint.There’s also the usual despair about GTA never releasing, a rant about why some Japanese games simply refuse to end, and Daniel unexpectedly discovering a new love for the modern Resident Evil titles.It’s messy. It’s enthusiastic. It’s very them.

    The One Where AI Cheats, Christmas Disappoints, and London Floods Us Out

    The boys kick things off in full gremlin mode, warming up with cartoon voices, half‑baked accents, and whatever nonsense their brains produce before the caffeine hits. Once they’ve stopped making each other laugh, they dive into the tech rabbit hole: CES, modern monitors, and the new wave of “AI‑powered” features that may or may not just be cheating with extra steps. They fixate on MSI’s concept monitor with “AI goggles” to reduce flashbangs and highlight enemies, and spend a good while debating whether that’s innovation… or pay‑to‑win disguised as productivity.From there it’s a life catch‑up, which quickly becomes a seasonal therapy session. One of them is firmly anti‑Christmas—expectations, travel, gifts, the whole machine—while the other shrugs and says it’s fine because “the kids like it.” Time passing, holidays creeping up, and the existential dread of December all get their moment.Then comes the weather. London winter weather. The cold. The constant cold. And the rain—endless, morale‑destroying rain—plus the misery of cycling through it. It’s a full rant, and honestly, they earn it.The episode’s biggest detour lands in politics and the news cycle, especially the state of things in the United States. They talk about the Trump administration, NATO tensions, immigration enforcement, and the general sense of instability, and then wrestle with what that means for the UK and Europe watching from across the Atlantic.Naturally, this spirals into sport. They touch on the upcoming World Cup hosted across the US, Canada, and Mexico, the logistics of travel, and then somehow end up relitigating Luis Suárez’s infamous handball against Ghana in 2010. Ethics, gamesmanship, and whether “doing what it takes” is noble or villainous all get thrown around.And because no episode is complete without a movie tangent, they wrap by referencing Falling Down and God Bless America while talking about societal frustration, catharsis, and why certain films hit differently when the world feels like it’s wobbling.It’s tech, weather, politics, sport, movies, and two men trying to make sense of all of it while staying vaguely warm and dry.

    The One Where Austin Butler Tries to Steal Our Hearts… but Caught Stealing Doesn’t

    This week the boys open with exactly the kind of nonsense you’ve come to expect: questionable accents, cartoon impressions, and a warm‑up routine that feels like two men trying to make each other break before the episode even starts. It works. It always works.Then they dive into Caught Stealing, a film they both agree is… fine. Perfectly fine. It has a beginning, a middle, an end — all the structural components of a movie — but absolutely none of the spice the trailer promised. They spend a good chunk of time trying to work out how a poster can feel more energetic than the actual film.Naturally, this derails into a full‑blown debate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. One of them insists it’s indulgent, meandering, and basically a collection of short films wearing a cowboy hat; the other argues it’s still entertaining and has some killer set pieces. They wrestle with the idea that the movie doesn’t “start” until suspiciously late, and how much it leans on the audience already knowing the real‑world context.From there, the conversation mutates into a broader theme: trailers lying to us. Overpromising. Catfishing. They joke that trailers should get their own awards because sometimes the trailer is the best part of the whole experience.And because it’s Eddie and Daniel, the episode then explodes into rapid‑fire tangents — rewatchability, comfort films, superhero chaos, Venom’s weird charm, Transformers’ loud commitment to being Transformers, Jurassic Park’s decline, and the eternal question: why do people like the things they like?It’s messy, it’s affectionate, it’s cinematic therapy with two men who definitely shouldn’t be left unsupervised with a microphone.

  6. 34

    The One Where The Boy's Do It Together

    The boys this week take their friendship to the next level — bonded by a shared admiration for Alison Brie and an equally shared, entirely irrational, completely unserious dislike of Dave Franco. Why? No one knows. Not even them. It’s just one of those bits that got out of hand.There was a moment where Daniel tried to make a point about “the other Franco brother,” but after a quick Google search and a full emotional U‑turn, that entire tangent has been permanently deleted from the timeline. We don’t talk about it. Ever again.So anyway — back to Eddie and Daniel. They watched Together “together,” and now they have thoughts. Big thoughts. Tangled thoughts. Possibly relationship‑defining thoughts. Join them as they unpack the film, their dynamic, and the increasingly worrying trajectory of their shared future as two men who spend far too much time analysing movies and each other.Come along for the ride. It’s messy, it’s affectionate, it’s cinematic, and it’s very, very them.

  7. 33

    The One With Ballerinas and Frenchmen (For Those Who Come After)

    In this chaotic, barely‑coherent episode, Daniel and Eddie once again prove that letting them speak unsupervised was a terrible idea. They start by mangling the finer points of British small‑talk etiquette, confidently misunderstanding weather psychology, and then—because why not—launch into a wildly overcaffeinated breakdown of this year’s Game of the Year nominations.Expect the usual nonsense: Daniel pretending he understands art direction, Eddie declaring himself the authority on soundtracks despite having the musical taste of a malfunctioning Roomba, and both of them insisting they know the state of modern fighting games while demonstrating the opposite.Naturally, the conversation derails into Steam hardware rambling, Battlefield nostalgia therapy, and an accidental detour into U.S. politics that neither of them is qualified to comment on. They wrap things up with a brutally confused review of Ballerina, the John Wick spinoff that left them both wondering if they’d watched the wrong film.Rants, tangents, bad opinions, and two hosts who absolutely should not be trusted with a platform. Classic Better Lighting.

  8. 32

    The One Where Honey, Don’t Really… Didn’t

    The old farts are at it again. This week, Daniel and Ed’s quest to rewind the clock lands squarely on the state of modern gaming — back when all you needed for a perfect weekend was a mate, a sofa, and whatever controller they remembered to bring. Naturally, this spirals into an unreasonably passionate debate about which controller reigns supreme and why on earth any of them are laid out the way they are. Two grown men, far too invested in lumps of plastic. Classic.But the real chaos kicks in when it’s time for the film of the night: Honey Don’t. A stylish, female‑led thriller that leaves the boys… confused? Impressed? Mildly traumatised? You’ll have to listen to find out whether they rise to the occasion or crumble under the weight of their own cinematic expectations.Nostalgia, nonsense, and a few spicy opinions — exactly what you came for.

  9. 31

    The One Where The Girls Got The Baps Out

    Look, we know… we vanished again. But it’s a new year, so maybe get off our backs a little. The boys are finally back — fresh year, fresh look, exact same nonsense. And if you think we’re late, you’re even later, because this episode drags you all the way back to Halloween.This week, Dan and Ed dive into one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: how men can have a full‑blown argument, shake hands, and carry on like nothing happened… while women can keep a feud alive longer than some houseplants and still call each other friends.They also tackle the big cinematic question no one asked but everyone secretly wonders: how long is too long before you can ask for a movie refund? Minutes? Hours? Weeks? Years? (Dan has thoughts.)And to top it off, the boys take a detour into the infamous heist in France — because of course they do.Same chaos. Same energy. New year. Let’s go.

  10. 30

    The One Where Scarlett Johansson Was Asian

    Daniel and Ed kick off the night by questioning their place in the anime world — two self-proclaimed “old men” still watching cartoons. Should they even be here? Who knows.But since this is a movie podcast, they’ve decided to double down on films, and this week’s pick is Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson. Spoiler alert: they hated it. Expect a full hour of grumbling, nitpicking, and “we could’ve done it better” energy.Whether you think they’re insightful critics or just man-babies yelling at Hollywood, one thing’s for sure: making movies isn’t easy, and they’re not the ones doing it.P.S. Scarlett Johansson rules — and no, that’s not bias.

  11. 29

    The One That's All Sixes and Sevens

    Daniel and Eddie are back, stumbling their way into the rhythm of weekly episodes—emphasis on stumbling. This week, they confront the creeping realization that they’re officially too old to understand the kids: the idioms are nonsense, the music is just noise, and the cultural gap is widening like Eddie’s jeans.Eddie tries to coax out Daniel’s hidden appreciation for women’s fashion, while questioning why men’s fashion is stuck in a loop of greyscale mediocrity. Meanwhile, Daniel mounts a passionate defense of AI art as humanity’s salvation, but Eddie’s not buying it—he’s predicting war, and insists Daniel pick a side.The boys also remember this is supposed to be a movie podcast and finally watch one: Blink Twice. They unpack its commentary on trash men, questionable billionaires, and why it’s probably not a date movie.They’re getting the hang of this podcasting thing… slowly. Give them a few more years and it might even be good. But let’s not get carried away.

  12. 28

    The One That Was Produced By Jordan Peele

    Behold: Jordan Peele single-handedly produced this episode... in the exact same way he produced Him—which is to say, not at all.Ed’s fresh off a Japan trip, Daniel’s still recovering from the group chat, and the boys finally sat down to watch a movie together: Weapons (2025), a mystery-horror flick they knew absolutely nothing about going in. Turns out, that made it better.Also in this episode: the sacred art of finding your barber, the unspoken rules of Black haircuts, and why walking into the wrong chair can feel like a betrayal of ancestral trust.It’s jokes, it’s vibes, it’s BetterLighting.

  13. 27

    The One With Asian Whores, Chinese Food and Video Games

    Ed’s off to Japan, but before he disappears into vending machine heaven, the guys try to answer life’s big question: what does it mean to be alive? Their conclusion—good food, video games, and women—is so basic it hurts.Also: Gamescom happened. It was terrible. Or maybe Ed and Daniel are just getting old and jaded. Either way, the spark was missing.They’ve been quiet since, possibly napping, possibly rebooting. But the thumbs are out now, and you’ll be seeing a lot more of them.Enjoy the chaos. See you next week.

  14. 26

    The One Where IceCube Is A Peeping Tom

    Ah, classic Ed—off chasing the horizon while the rest of us hold down the fort. “Globe trouting” sounds suspiciously like a euphemism for dodging responsibility with flair. I hope he at least brought back some exotic snacks or a story worth the detour. Back from his globe-trouting ego trip, and Dan’s still recovering from the cinematic dumpster fire that was the War of the Worlds remake. Together, they return to the podcast that’s somehow still worse than that movie. If you’re listening in your stained underwear, crying into your pillow because nobody loves you—well, congrats, you’ve found your people. Welcome back to the chaos.

  15. 25

    The One Where Ed Admits He Hates Queen

    The boys are back. Life got in the way (as it does), but Dan and Ed returned with a vengeance—ready to record what was, briefly, the greatest podcast of all time. I was there. It was transcendent. Jokes, insight, actual world peace plans… and then? The recording failed. Gone. Lost to the void. A tragedy for humanity.So here we are, on an odd day, trying to recapture the magic. Spoiler: we didn’t. They tried—God knows they tried—but this episode? It’s a shadow of what could’ve been. A monument to failure. A tribute to trying. A celebration of rubbish.Enjoy.

  16. 24

    The One With The Boy From Smallville

    The boys are back, nerding out harder than ever over comic book movies. Expect a deep-dive into every fight scene, plot twist, and costume choice—as if the fate of the real world depends on it. When they stick to their geeky little wheelhouse, it’s weirdly entertaining... maybe even adorable. But the second they think they can "save the world"? You’ll hear those tiny hamster wheels creak under delusions of grandeur.They’re trying to watch more films (finally), so expect some actual movie content to sneak its way into the chaos. Just don't expect them to save cinema—or civilisation—any time soon.

  17. 23

    The One With The Towering Inferno

    This week, The Boys continue their questionable love affair with a “definitely-not-a-date” photo adventure through the heart of London on a suspiciously beautiful summer day. From romantic wandering to existential spirals, they reminisce far too long before plunging—somehow—into a conversation about the horrors of tower block fires. Don’t ask how the transition happened. It’s best if you don’t.Ed claims the title of “ultimate people pleaser,” which is ironic considering he’s wasting everyone’s time with this podcast, while Daniel gets called out as a nihilist creep who doesn’t care. Allegedly. There’s blurry photographic evidence, at least. Also, Ed picks a fight with a bouncer. Classic.So, come sit down (or lie down—we don’t judge) for two hours of moral gymnastics, passive aggression, and two dumb dumbs trying very hard to justify their existence.

  18. 22

    The One With The AI Director

    This week, the boys return to some semblance of normality—but with a chaotic twist. They saddle up a metaphorical horse (or maybe an actual stable?) and charge headfirst into the uncanny valley, railing against the rise of poor AI art and the looming nightmare of film sets run entirely by digital “actors.” Imagine movies with no humans... just algorithmic Oscar bait. Who wants that? Apparently, Daniel does. But let’s be honest—he’s an idiot.Also, because they physically can’t help themselves, the boys dive once again into their love/hate relationship with the good ol’ US of A. For the one millionth time. Lord have mercy.

  19. 21

    The One After The Night With Geoff Keighley

    Once a year, the holy mackerel that is gaming splashes down in the land of America, where all eyes turn to the industry in desperate hope that our poor existence might be distracted by some shiny Vidimagames.But those days? Long gone.Now we're left with a piss-poor excuse for a trade show.Today, the boys dive into this new-age not-really-E3. It's not E3 anymore—it's Summer Game Fest, or Xbox Showcase, or PlayStation Experience, or whatever branding exercise they’ve slapped on this year. Honestly? Who cares. It's all rubbish now. No one gives a crap.These two monkeys are trying their best to relive the glory days. Unfortunately—as they’ve discovered, and now you will too—it’s actually just as terrible as they are. Which, in a way, makes it a perfect match.The signs of dude love are on full display. Be glad they're back for another week, on time, delivering the same flavor of nonsense week after week after week. God knows they've got no life.Then again, I'm not entirely sure you do either, if you keep coming back to this circus.Anyway. I’ve said my piece.Brace yourself for another two hours of pure waffle.

  20. 20

    The One Where. . . and Then Geoff Keighley

    He pushed his way into the room—no words, but his presence said everything. His eyes locked onto mine, black and cold like the night.Without hesitation, he shoved me aside and slammed the big red button.Just like that, we were recording.I wanted to say no, to protest that we weren’t ready, but before I could even process it—he was already talking.It happened.We were in the podcast...

  21. 19

    The One With Total Recall

    This week, the guys learned the hard way that hitting record is only half the job—turns out, it doesn’t work if the computer decides to take a nap halfway through the episode. So, this is take TWO, and they are PISSED.Not gonna lie, I think it’s hilarious, but that’s just me. I’m sure they’ll get the hang of this eventually… but today is not that day.Good luck with this one, folks. And as always—try to enjoy.

  22. 18

    The One Where Al Pacino & Robert De Niro Kiss

    Back at it again with another episode from the two dumb-dumbs. They’re starting to find their rhythm—not saying it’s good, but hey, at least it's arriving on time and in the right order. Wow, the bar really is that low.Anyway, looks like they actually feel the need to talk about movies this time. I mean, come on guys, it is called The Better Lighting Podcast. The boys dive into the dialogue kings of the film world and what it takes to craft a great scene—not that they know anything about making something good, let alone a movie. Honestly, I’m not convinced they can write or read.Anyway, try to enjoy this one, folks.

  23. 17

    The One With Nosferatu and his OnlyFans

    You know the drill by now. The hosts have once again messed up the upload schedule and are only getting to this episode now. This is episode 13 of yet another podcast from entitled individuals who think their thoughts need to be heard. So, what's on the agenda this week?They finally watched Nosferatu (better late than never) and want to share their thoughts on the film. They also discuss the Oscars (as if anyone cares) and think they can solve the issues with sex work and its impact on young people. Honestly, would you trust them to fix a bike, let alone societal issues?

  24. 16

    The One With a Girl Part 2 Electric Boogaloo

    Good Lord, it's that time of the week again when I have tophone it in for another podcast description for these two imbeciles for thisweek's episode of the Better Lighting podcast. Though at least this time we'vegot the very lovely Sonia back. I don't know how Daniel was able to secure alife partner of any kind, let alone someone so delectable. All while perfectlynice men like myself are left alone in a dingy basement, just wishing I hadsomebody to talk to while this idiot doesn't understand just how lucky hereally is. I have gone off on a tangent, but I'm not going to correct it.There, I said it. So this week is girls' night, where they sit around in theirpyjamas, drinking prosecco, eating cheese and other delectable meats forquote-unquote "girl dinner." They forego the girl chat, however,fortunately, as there is greater business to attend to. Daniel, aself-proclaimed black man, in all honesty, he's mixed-race and for the mostpart, hardly covers the definition of the word black. Though like they say,it's not anywhere near as white as logic. Nevertheless, Daniel likes to walkthe walk and talk the talk, but he hasn't seen any of the prominent blackmovies that someone of his calibre should have seen. So now we aresystematically following it up the chain until we give him his quote-unquote"black card." Tonight's offering is one of Tyler Perry's Diary of aMad Black Woman. I personally haven't seen it, but you couldn't pay me to seethose terrible movies. Anyway, there's your description. Bye-bye.

  25. 15

    The One With Tarantino and The Snow Bunny’s Foot

    [Missed Episode - 5]The dancing monkey, known as Daniel, has seemingly forgotten to upload a previous episode. So he's doing it now, just completely out of order. Personally, I think it should have been lost into the ether where it deserves to be forgotten. These idiots can’t do anything right. They're just wasting your time. I have no idea why you keep coming back to listen to this drivel. Nevertheless, they're back. Moaning about being 30 years old or whatever, it's not even that old they're talking like old men. E3 was a long time ago. Boys, get over it. It’s not the end of the world. They meander on like a pair of headless chickens or a blind man stumbling around in the dark trying to find the light switch while forgetting that light in that very instance is not very useful to a blind man. It’s as nourishing to the intellect as banging your head against a drywall nail hoping to drive it home. Nevertheless, you're here. I'm doing the description. I don't want to be here anymore. Why are they doing this now? This is meant to be episode 5. They're on, like, episode 17 now. This is so stupid. Anyway, enjoy this old episode. Oh, wait, I forgot there was this idiotic moment where Daniel thinks he's actually smarter than Quentin Tarantino. Hence the title. I wouldn't pay much mind to it, but still, I digress. Here. Enjoy this mediocre drivel, you troglodyte.

  26. 14

    The One Where Dan Kisses Michael B. Jordan

    Once again, the boys are back, talking about nothing of any use while continuing the stupid debate about Will Smith. Will Daniel ever get over it? Eddie cries like a baby because films make him feel stuff or something. I can't really relate; I'm not a wimp. They did go watch "Sinners," and that's a good movie, but that's the only thing of note, really. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Then again, you never listen to me.You people make me sick!

  27. 13

    The One Where Kids Have Knives

    Daniel and Eddie again bumbling their way through hay fever season, proving once again that they have no idea how to manage their itchy eyes and runny noses. They recount the ridiculous tale of Jezebel the pig, who met her delicious fate, and somehow manage to debate the merits of various alcohol brands, with Eddie passionately defending his love for Magnum despite Daniel's cluelessness. The duo also fumbles through discussions about London's pollution levels, the invasion of parakeets, and the bizarre world of kangaroos and giant spiders in Australia. With their "signature" humour and camaraderie, Daniel and Eddie navigate through a whirlwind of topics, leaving listeners questioning their own sanity all while shaking their heads in disbelief at their sheer incompetence. Listen at your own risk!

  28. 12

    The One With a Girl

    In this episode, we dive into a lively and candid conversation about more bullshit, ranging from personal anecdotes to societal observations. Our hosts, Daniel and Ed, share somewhat humorous and relatable (not if your a decent person) stories, touching on themes of body image, cultural identity, and the everyday challenges we face. This week, we are joined by a special guest cohost, Sonia, who brings a fresh (and brains) perspective and adds to the dynamic of the discussion. Daniel hilariously admits that he hasn't seen any black movies, which leads to some playful teasing. With a mix of light-hearted banter and thoughtful insights, this episode promises to something that you can play while you clean the house or something and engage listeners. Tune in for a fun and thought-provoking discussion that will leave you laughing and reflecting on the quirks of life.

  29. 11

    The One Where Ed Pimps Out His Daughter

    Join Daniel and Ed as they stumble their way through another episode of "Better Lighting." This time, they tackle the world's problems with the grace of a bull in a china shop. From political rants to personal anecdotes, nothing is off-limits. Daniel can't seem to get through a single topic without tripping over his words, while Ed's attempts at humor are as hit-or-miss as a blindfolded dart player. Tune in for a mix of laughter, confusion, and the occasional moment of clarity. It's a train wreck you won't want to miss!

  30. 10

    The One Where Dan and Ed Try to Save America

    Daniel and Ed fumble through the chaos of 2025 with humor, wit, and a healthy dose of self-doubt. In this episode, they reminisce about the good ol' days of 2018, debate the merits of military action in video games, and try to figure out if the world is truly going mad.Join them as they discuss everything from the absurdity of modern-day America to the nostalgia of movies that feel like they came out just yesterday. Daniel and Ed also dive into the complexities of mental health, the state of the world, and the ever-changing landscape of video games. It's a wild ride filled with laughs, deep dives, and the occasional rant about the state of the world.

  31. 9

    The One Where Daniel Saves the World from Scum

    In this episode, Daniel and Eddie stumble through a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the 90s and the London 2012 Olympics, all while wondering how they managed to survive this long. They attempt to discuss futuristic concepts and their hilariously unrealistic goals for 2025, despite having no idea what they're talking about. The duo also tackles heavy topics like COVID-19, political figures, and global events, all while trying to sound like experts (spoiler: they're not). With plenty of humor and casual banter, Daniel and Eddie explore personal growth and confidence, realizing that if they can make it this far, anyone can. Tune in for a hilariously relatable and surprisingly insightful conversation that will leave you both entertained and inspired... Maybe.

  32. 8

    The One Where Daniel Tries Open a Breast Milk Coffee Shop

    In this episode, Daniel and Eddie dive headfirst into the absurd idea of opening a breast milk coffee shop. Join us as Daniel, the self-proclaimed visionary, tries to convince Eddie that this million-dollar idea is the next big thing. Spoiler alert: it's not. Along the way, we also manage to solve all the world's problems, one misguided rant at a time. Tune in for a laugh, some questionable business advice, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation.

  33. 7

    The One Where Daniel Felt Trapped

    Welcome back to the best podcast in the world, where we dive into the most random, absurd, and downright hilarious conversations you never knew you needed. Join us as we navigate through the chaos of our own thoughts, armed with nothing but a microphone and a questionable sense of humor.In this episode, we tackle the big questions like, "Where do you ever get rid of bodies?" and "Why did it take us so long to get back in the office?" Spoiler alert: We have no idea. But hey, at least we're consistent in our inconsistency!Expect a rollercoaster of emotions as we reminisce about the good old days, debate the true meaning of "gay," and try to figure out why quills are so darn hard to use. And if you're wondering why we sound like we're recording from a cave, it's because we probably are.So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe even learn something (though we can't promise that last part). After all, we're just a bunch of weirdos trying to make sense of this crazy world, one podcast episode at a time.

  34. 6

    The One With Ed's Piss Bottle.

    Buckle up for Episode 7, where Daniel and Ed take on everything from the UK’s cultural shifts to the questionable contents of Ed’s bedside jar (we’re still not over it). This week, we get real about the big stuff—like the rise of social tensions and the police’s role in society—but don’t worry, we balance it out with our signature chaos and plenty of laughs.We start with the hot topics but take enough detours to make you wonder if this is still the same episode (spoiler: it is). Ever wanted to know our take on using Tupperware for hydration? Or hear a rant on how we’d spend a day if life turned out to be a simulation? Trust us, it all ties together… sort of.

  35. 5

    The One Where Ed Is Replaced By Robert Downey Jr.

    Join Daniel and Eddie as they stumble through another episode, trying to sound like they know what they’re talking about. This week, they tackle the latest season of “The Boys,” with its dark humor and over-the-top action scenes. They also dive into the juicy rumors about Disney’s so-called creative bankruptcy—because who doesn’t love a bit of drama? And of course, they can’t resist speculating wildly about the upcoming Deadpool movie. As always, Daniel shows off his uncanny (and slightly creepy) ability to predict future TV trends, leaving Eddie and the listeners both impressed and a little scared. Tune in for a fun, chaotic, and slightly unhinged discussion on all things pop culture!

  36. 4

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Better Lighting is based on the idea that the difference between the boring humdrum of daily life and the crisp sheen of the silver screen is simply better lighting!Ed and Dan won't admit it, but they're film buffs who won't shut up about it. (Don't get them started on the MCU Civil War debate again!) They're also avid gamers and generally into all things nerdy. Consider this your one-stop shop for nerd culture and general discussion from the perspective of two very opinionated people. So yeah... ANOTHER podcast. But at least this time there's Better Lighting!
