    PF Awards Talk Special a.k.a. "In Bed with Nick" #2 - Oscars - Final predictions
    Apr 24 2021
    Host Nick just takes a quick sitdown to take you, shmucks, through all 23 categories of the Oscars coming up in a couple of days. It includes what he'd pick if he were a betting man as well as if he were himself; which he is. Many burning questions are answered: will the brits help Hopkins dethrone Boseman? Has Mulligan lost steam after losing SAG? And does it even matter that she "would've won BAFTA"? Is Nomadland suffering from frontrunner fatigue despite winning everything? All that and more in this second edition of PF Awards Talk, a.k.a. "In Bed With Nick". And if you've read this far and still haven't pressed 'play', thanks for the support champ!
    Sincerely,
    - Host Nick

    The Easter edition of Pong Fiction has arrived, and it's a little empty to be quite honest. Host Luca joins Nick as they debate the realm of anime, and his obsession with it (he dubs it folks!). Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Deathnote and Haikyu!! are all topics of conversation plus the return of the B'Odenc*ck in John Wick's working-class, edgy cousin Nobody. We review that film as well as have our famous game of pong, and that's about it. Besides Host Nick being an absolute cerebral vegetable the entire time of course. Anyway, it's a shorter, different one nonetheless so you might enjoy it. And if you've read this far and still haven't shown us the courtesy of pressing 'play', thanks for the support champ!
    Sincerely,
    Your Hosts Nick and Luca

    We're finally back for the first episode of Pong Fiction's 2021 season. This episode covers our adventures over the months of February and March, in which we watched a shit tonne of films including Minarrrrrr (Minari), Nomadland, Promising Young Woman and even Host Nick's very own directorial debut 'In This Climate'. We have a chat about them and how ok they are, and how fantastic Host Nick's is (not really but f*ck you for questioning me). So strap in folks, the erotic sound of pong is back! And if you've read this far but still haven't pressed 'play', thanks for the support champ!
    Sincerely,
    Your hosts Gus and Nick.

    Host Luca returns, and we sweep through some stuff we've been watching, including how 'The Queen's Gambit' trumps all other chess films, how 'Wonder Woman 1984' is rivalling 'KB2' for worst film of 2020 and how Kung Fu Panda 2 could be one of the greatest animated sequels of all time. But the real main event of Pong Fiction's December edition is our full breakdown as well as ranking of the entire Harry Potter film saga; startling disparities come to light. Just wait until we bring up Umbridge...
    This is the spoiler-heavy trailer for Pong Fiction: The December edition.

    Host Gus is back, and we give our thoughts on Christopher Nolan's 'cinema saviour' 'Tenet', as well as Sofia Coppola's dramedy 'On the Rocks'. Is Tenet ahead of its time? Is 'On the Rocks' deeper than you thought? All that and more in this November edition of Pong Fiction.

    The October edition of Pong Fiction is here... and late again as usual! (soz :)
    Co-host Luca and I finally took a trip to the cinema this month and saw Aaron Sorkin's oscar-hopeful 'The Trial of the Chicago 7'. We give it a good old review, analyse its oscar chances and reminisce about the beauty of Eddie Redmayne's Razzie-winning performance in 'Jupiter Ascending'. We also have a quick chat about 'Borat: Subsequent Movie Film', and "that ending". The banging section of the October edition is our second round of Sitcom Sizzle, in which we dish on what's criminally underrated, but also grossly overrated (sorry Jennifer). We have a deep chat about the state of our world, how sexy David Attenborough's nogen is, and also that documentary of his 'Seven Worlds, One Planet'. We give the rundown on the poor quality of Australian reality tv, but also the tactical advantages of watching Gogglebox. This would not be pong fiction without the monthly table tennis match, with this one going into over-time! And if that wasn't enough, we also have a little head scratch on why in the flying flameo hotman Jared Leto is coming back for the Synder Cut.
    All of this and more headline this edition of Pong Fiction, and if you've read this far and still haven't pressed 'play', thanks for the support champ!
    Sincerely,
    - Your hosts Nick and Luca

    Welcome to the September edition of Pong Fiction. Although we may not have initially anticipated it, there was a lot to talk about this month! This episode we have a chat about the newly redistributed Cobra Kai, and its guilty pleasure-level trashiness. We also review the winners and losers at the Emmys, and the sole reason behind Luca's hatred for the television academy. Hint: his name is Saul. We do a SPOILER review of the new R-pat and Holland stan thirstfest that was The Devil All The Time, and debunk the real DELUSIONS that are present in the ambitious piece of filmmaking. We take a deep-dive into the Hollywood news that includes Harry 'Marvel' Styles, the unlikely success of Mulan, Ant-man 3 villain casting, the heartbreak of the Live-action Avatar Netflix series and a couple of other saucy items. But, of course, this episode would not be complete without our monthly pong battle, and a quick film ranking that may involve some animation. Hope you enjoy, and if you've read this far and still haven't pressed 'play', thanks. for the support champion!
