Fighting Fantasy #13 - Freeway Fighter (Part 1)
This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we're back in the world of Fighting Fantasy! This time, we're tackling book number 13, Freeway Fighter, where civilisation has collapsed, the roads are dangerous and survival depends on keeping your wits about you — and your heavily armed car in one piece! We're swapping swords and sorcery for a post-apocalyptic wasteland, taking the wheel of the mighty Dodge Interceptor and setting off on a mission where every decision could be our last. Expect dangerous encounters, tough choices, dice rolls and the usual debate over whether we've got a cunning plan or absolutely no idea what we're doing. Will we prove ourselves road warriors, or will our adventure end in a smoking heap of twisted metal before we've even got going? Buckle up, because this is only Part One of our Freeway Fighter playthrough — and the road ahead looks anything but safe!If you are enjoying what we do and want to help us grow you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated) here...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughs Hosted on Acast.

Halloween Movies Review!
This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we're heading to Haddonfield to revisit one of horror's most iconic franchises: Halloween! From John Carpenter's original 1978 classic to the sequels, the Rob Zombie remakes and the recent trilogy, we're looking at how Michael Myers became one of the biggest names in horror — and whether the franchise has managed to keep the fear alive.We're debating the best and worst films in the series, picking our favourite kills, discussing the Rob Zombie remakes and deciding what we really thought of the newer trilogy. Which films deserve their legendary status, which ones should have stayed buried, and just how many times can Michael Myers seemingly die before we stop believing it?And then comes the ultimate showdown: Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers — who's the king of horror? Expect strong opinions, controversial choices, plenty of nostalgia and the usual disagreements between three old mates who definitely won't all agree on anything. So grab your mask, lock your doors and join us... because evil never really dies! 🎃🔪If you are enjoying what we do and want to help us grow you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated) here...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughs Hosted on Acast.
