Pleasure Explosion

Pleasure Explosion

Pleasure Explosion was the fun idea that kickstarted the Explosion Network β€” the original podcast that launched everything else. Hosted by Thomas Marshall and friends, each week brought conversations that swung from heartfelt to laugh-out-loud funny, giving listeners a chance to really get to know the crew. The show ran for a total of 69 episodes (nice). πŸ“… First Episode: 01/03/2017 πŸ“… Final Episode: 21/06/2018 Though Pleasure Explosion has now concluded, the archives remain as a time capsule of where the Explosion Network began β€” because every network needs an origin story, and this was ours.

Ash continually tries to guess Dark Knight Rises as one of the top-grossing movies of all time, and they laugh.

Some bold hot takes about Wrestlemania. Ashley and Ciaran VS Nick and Tom about whether it's a sport or an entertainment. Is UFC becoming more like WWE? Is UFC even good? Is WWE any good? Lets the arguments begin!

Ciaran also digs himself a very deep hold while talking about people on Centrelink payments before deciding to not go any further, and thankfully.

Special guests! Jack and Jono return to the show this week to discuss - for a variety of reasons - Wesley Snipes, Max Landis, Mia Khalifa and more. The three are mostly unrelated, and centred around having a catch up after the long weekend and the odd laugh.
