In a world of endless sequels, prequels and extended universes, one film history / improv comedy podcast will attempt to create the most pointless cinematic spin-offs imaginable. Join comedians Sonny Yang and Rory Machell each episode as they improvise a wholly original tale about a nameless and unimportant background character from a random movie or series. 9 times out of 10, the character dies!
