This June edition of Pong Fiction is our biggest yet! Clocking up at over 100 minutes, this month we are finally back at the pong table, reviewing harder and deeper than ever. Although cinemas still are closed due to the current global pandemic, that didn't stop us from scouring streaming service giant Netflix for our throwback special, Hiyao Miyazaki's 2001 spectacle Spirited Away, and our revised Oscar Buzz pick, Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods. We welcome back friend of the show Writer Charles for another special segment on his creative process for upcoming sci-fi novel trilogy, CABRECEUS. Editor Luca also joins the studio this month for a heated debate, "Sitcom Sizzle" about why he believes The Office (US) is the best sitcom ever, and how it compares to the original, The Office (UK). We also have a surprise new segment, "Coming back for seconds", brought to you by Writer Charles himself. But what is most exciting about this edition is our freedom to finally hang out face-to-face and have some good-old-fashioned banter. We hope this episode is nearly as good a listening experience as it was a creative one, and
If you've read this far and still haven't pressed play, thanks for the support champion!
Sincerely,
Your hosts Gus and Nick
