Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan

This week, Alex & Dan dive back into the Quantum Realm thanks to the convenient help of Cassie Lang and team Pym - from best bits to not so best bits - well, you know the deal.... Has Phase 5 kicked off with a giant-sized bang? Or does it pack the punch of an ant? Discussing what this means for the remaining film release schedule, some potential misdirection at the end of the film and whether we want an Ant-Man 4...thanks to the power of social media, we have your comments and questions too! Grab your suit - we're going subatomic! #GITS

This week, the Dynamic South Coast duo shrink down and take to the not-so-mean streets of Old Portsmouth to the cinema and back, to bring you their honest thoughts on the 3rd outing of the small sized, big punching superhero outing for Scott Lang.

We're going back into the Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan Vault and this week, it's the phenomenal Mandela Effect! The South Coast Duo hand in their homework papers after being sent some by a TWRAD listener; they provide an overview of the mass cultural phenomenon from world events, movies to popular icons and logos. From Mickey Mouse and his lack of trouser suspenders, a set of absent famous phrases from E.T and Forrest Gump - to the origins of the theory around one of the most celebrated icons of modern history - Nelson Mandela himself. Both Alex & Dan have experienced this mind bending (potential alternate reality!) phenomena and share theirs - and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours! Strap on your tin hat from the last episode on Conspiracy Theories - because this one is a head scratcher! P.s - this week has a seagull themed blooper reel to be proud of! #weloveanimals #sendhelp #fightingbirds #ornathologists #getinthesea Get interactive! Share your thoughts or comments on the epi

This week, Alex & Dan return to ruin your favourite films by discussing some popular movie plot holes! What just doesn't make sense when you break it down? How can a T-Rex levitate? Why aren't Cows used as batteries? How does Kevin order pizza when the phone lines are apparently not working.....? Make it make sense - and we are barely scratching the surface! It's also an uncomfortable trip back to 1998 for Alex, as he goes on a date to the cinema... The south coast duo also plot a visit to the nearby swimming pool dressed up as Ariel and Usula! Just another epsiode from the dyanmic duo of Southsea! #GITS

It's a new year and Alex & Dan are once more going down the rabbit hole! Imagine a reality where our existence is not as concrete as it seems, but rather a complex, hyper-realistic simulation created by an advanced intelligence. It sounds like a fine story, but how likely is it that we are all living in a simulation? Not only is it possible that we are living in a simulation, it’s definitely possible. Almost 50% possible! We get philosophical, talking about pre-destination, luck (or being unlucky!), fate, religion, science, extra-terrestrials, The Mandela Effect, Crazy Coincidences, Folklore, Ghosts and the supernatural - this is the episode where it all comes together! Sit back, relax and join us on a crazy ride through the simulation theory! #Onthetopic #TWRAD  #Southcoastsounds #Conspiracytheories #SimulationTheory #MandeaEffect #unexplained #rabbithole #science #popularculture What do you think about Simulation Theory?
