This week on Chris's Corner I tackle the subjects of who is the best comedians alive today as well as why is society obsessed with zombies. I know, I know, these subjects go as well together as soy sauce and ketchup but I felt that the depth of each wasn't great enough to have their own podcasts. Nonetheless, if you are interested in one but not the other I have timestamped the topics below. Within Comedy today there has never been such a plethora of amazing comedians and comedic material. With such platforms as Youtube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime all containing comedy hours from a range of comedians. Within this podcast I discuss some of my favourites, who I think challenge the notions of today's society. These top comedians are: Bill Burr, Tim Dillon, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, and a few others who you'll find out when you listen in! As for the Zombies, I talk about and analyse the quality films coming out of South Korea such as Train to Busan and Kingdom. Both film and TV show really display what can be accomplished outside of Hollywood. But I don't stop there. I also mention comedic films like Shaun of Dead and Zombieland. As always, I hope you enjoy this podcast, and I'll see you, this time, next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I speak on the topic of struggle and hardship using the 1997 anime classic Berserk as my main reference. Life can seem hard and can feel even more isolating when the weather is cold and dark. But within this podcast I converse about how Guts from Berserk utilised the dark times to become a stronger and more connected human. Berserk has many fantastic qualities about it from its 90's art style, to an almost spiritual soundtrack, to characters that make you feel connected to them. However, the real message to be taken from Berserk is its ability to show you that feeling sorry for yourself and blaming others gets you nowhere. Much rather, Guts from Berserk shows you, that to set an example, as he does to the Band of the Hawk through his actions, is what we should all aspire to be like (myself included). I hope you enjoy this week's episode and as always, I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I go over my favourite Abridged series of all time, Dragon Ball Z abridged! Dragon Ball Z abridged was put together by the amazing Youtube Channel @TeamFourStar . Their undoubted brilliance in building side characters such as Tien, Nail, Krillin, Piccolo, and Vegeta with main character energy and lines, made Dragon Ball Z that much greater! I go through my favourite parts of each season of Dragon Ball Z Abridged, displaying how funny and well written the show was. Dragon Ball z Abridged was an original YouTube sensation that kept YouTube audiences in anticipation of each released episode. I hope to honour the work that Dragon Ball Z Abridged accomplished, with some hilarious one liners from cell, some Krillin getting owned clips, and a little taster of the mighty Nappa. As always, I hope you enjoyed this week's Episode and I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I speak about the best way to execute a bulk while keeping your abs. This video is mainly made for intermediate lifters/runners/exercise executers but, I still think there is a lot to learn for those who are beginners and advanced. I also have a lot to learn to so this bulking process has been truly enlightening for myself and I hope you can get something from it! From incrementally adding calories to your diet, to continuing cardio, practising hypertrophy and strength, this video has it all when learning about bulking. You don't have to get fat when you go on a bulk and you don't need to go above 15% body fat to improve your lifts either. The bulk can also be a good way for a lot of lifters to go from a lean cut to a good body percentage in order to enable optimum anabolism and increased protein synthesis as well as muscle tension. At the end of the day I am merely speaking about bulking from experience as well as all the research I've done over the years. As always I hope you enjoy this week's podcast and I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I comment on the grandfather of animation Studio Ghibli! Studio Ghibli is the studio that put together such classics as Nausicaa's Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and The Wind Rises. I go through each of Studio Ghibli's films and analyse some of the messages that Hayao Miyazaki help put forward through film. Whether that be the pure soundtracks to the use of nature as a character or a background phenomenon, Studio Ghibli's ability to produce films for all ages with a beautiful underlying message of peace and kindness can not be replicated in todays society. They are the foundation of the animation industry and all future directors and films within this genre will be compared to these masterpieces. If I leave you with anything from this podcast, it is to go and watch or re-watch any of the films created by Studio Ghibli. As always I hope you enjoyed this week's episode and I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I comment on some of my favourite clips of the great comedian and talk show host Craig Ferguson. Craig Ferguson recorded around 2000 episodes of the Late Late show and showed how to truly make people laugh as well as put on a show that felt real and not forced. It was as if Craig Ferguson was a podcaster before podcasting because of the lack of censorship and the amount of madness that he allowed to run riot throughout the show. His ability to create a joke out of nothing, can really be seen in the clips that I have put together. Along side his sidekicks Secretariat and Geoff the gay robot skeleton, Craig Ferguson made a historic talk show. As always I hope you enjoyed this week's episode and I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I'm speaking about the best season on Earth, Christmas! Christmas for me is a time that can't be replicated in terms of positive energy in any other time of year. It is the season of giving and bringing together friends and family. Even if you do not celebrate the religious part of Christmas, I don't think that matters. Christmas is more about the kindness and happiness that you bring to other people. There's also the case of all the amazing food, drink, laughs, and terrible Christmas jumpers but, those are nice accessories to the season of Christmas rather than it's foundation. I go into detail over some of the very best parts of Christmas as well as expressing the appreciation I have for being able to be so chipper about this season because of how my family have raised me. I hope you enjoy this Christmas Special and as always, I'll see you this time next week. Merry Christmas ho ho ho!

This week on Chris's Corner I talk about how the legend, David Goggins changed my life. In 2018 I ran but didn't lift weights. That's probably an under statement. I could barely do push ups. But when I saw Goggins's first appearance on JRE I realised that I was focusing too much on my running and not on my weakness which was resistance training. Goggins's raw personality got across to me that I wasn't in good shape and that I needed to get my shit together ASAP! Like Goggins, I talk about the trials I had to go through to be able to be where I am today and, how going through tough times makes you a happier and stronger person. On top of all that, I describe the only thing myself and Goggins disagree on... wearing headphones. Anyway, as always I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast and I'll see you this time next week!

This week on Chris's Corner I discuss the madness of Kanye, the showmanship of Andrew Tate, and the straight up fraud that is the Liver King. All of which is followed up with some more light hearted topics such as the World Cup and the Christmas season beginning. I don't normally break down internet characters such as the three stooges above, however I found their characteristics rather similar and found their actions to be rather interesting. This is probably why all three of them are so popular. But popularity doesn't necessarily hold hands with morality. In this podcast i hope to shine some light on that and that you the listener or the viewer can get a kick out of it. As always I hope you enjoy this week's podcast and I'll see you this time next week!
