Glad you picked Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, and The Alan Parsons Project - all great choices! Fun fact: "Sirius" has been the "tunnel walk" music for the Nebraska Cornhuskers since the 90's, and during the '94, '95, and '97 National Championship seasons, it really cemented that song as a major fan favorite. My pick would be the final 2 tracks of Failure's immense 1996 album "Fantastic Planet" - that being "Heliotropic" and "Daylight". The wall of sound that is the former track, and segueing into the final track that starts off much more mellow, and builds to a major crescendo halfway through the song. That whole album is insane, and is just so good. But that final one-two punch really helps close out the album in a very strong way, especially during a time when bands were putting more songs on their album than most of them had any right to, just because CDs allowed for more music. But Failure had every right, because every song on the album is a banger.

Great episode guys! I like that you and updated the image of the podcast as it’s definitely more than just the monthly Playthrough. I’ve never been too big of a James Bond fan myself, with my only real knowledge coming from the Pearce Brosnan films and Golden Eye on the N64. If I could make a suggestion, I would say give the Kingsman a watch if you want more action/comedy in your spy films. The first movie is definitely worth a watch. The 2nd movie is not as good as the first but it adds a nice continuation of the first movie. There’s a prequel, but I haven’t seen it yet unfortunately so I can’t add any input on it. I unfortunately missed out in this one but based on your glowing reviews I’ll definitely have to check it out sooner than later.
