Ep. 43 – Apocalypse (Movies) Now!

Hello again!

How has it only been a week? Are we in some sort of time paradox?

On this episode, Adam and Matt bring you their favourite apocalyptic films to help get you through this pandemic (and boredom!). Each host brings you 5 films that they highly recommend with a world changing event.  Plus our hosts decide what future-world they would actually want to live in, and which one they would really, really, rather avoid!  So hang with us as we fight technical difficulties and continue to fill your ears with our Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!
