In the modern age of consumer culture, art has become disposable, and as soon as we’ve consumed one thing we’re on to the next. So to combat that, three best friends (and sometimes a mystery guest) have started a podcast. The 4th Wall is a book club for all forms of art and media, where we dive deep into a specific piece of art each episode, whether it be a film, a game, an album, a show, you name it, we’ll bloody talk about it. And there'll be plenty of tangents along the way. Hosted by Ryan Heath, Matt Goward & Izaak Kidd

On this episode of The 4th Wall Matt has brought the 1967 coming-of-age classic, The Graduate, to the virtual table. And for the first time ever The 4th Wall has a fourth voice, in the form of the absolutely wonderful Kim Hines!
This week we talk about how reviews and consensus on art can be damaging to your own opinions, what each of us reads from the iconic closing shot of the film, and most importantly, are the noughties boyband Busted secretly the smartest band of our time?

Get your Wiimotes and Nunchuks at the ready because this week the boys are talking all about your auntie's favourite console, the blessed Nintendo Wii.
On this episode we cover gaming-related injuries, the secret Mario brother that's kept in the attic, and why the Boots' meal deal is the best thing to happen to 21st century society.
We had some serious issues with audio this episode, particularly Ryan's (the bastard), but I've cleaned it up as best as I can so don't come at me in the night.

We're back! Sorry about the week off, we had some serious technical issues with this episode and it was a nightmare to sort but we finally managed it (just)!
In this episode we're talking about the gaming masterpiece Hades, which swept up multiple Game of the Year awards in the last few months. Expect some chat about Greek mythology, gods being sexy, and whether or not Tom Cruise has ever made a bad film.
We've been abandoned by Izaak this week, but have no fear because we're joined by the most attractive Kosovan that isn't Dua Lipa, the wonderful Shqipdon Osmani.

In this episode of The 4th Wall, Matt brings the incredible British comedy series Peep Show to the virtual table to work out who is a Mark and who is a Jez.
Besides our in-depth discussion of 'The Peep', we talk about the differences in British and American comedy, 21st-century emo philosophers, and deviously portrayed mini-fridges (you'll understand).

In this episode we're looking at one of Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-Ho's earlier works, the 2006 Kaiju film The Host. No, not the young adult one with Saoirse Ronan, the South Korean one with the big old fish monster.
We cover a lot this week, with topics such as foreign relations and policy, why drinking cow's milk in 2021 is a bad idea, and why Damien Hirst is a bit of a bastard.

In the third episode of The 4th Wall, Izaak takes us to the wonderful world of Pixar with their most recent animated feature, Soul.
It's a deep old episode where we contemplate the futility of life, some 20th-century German philosophy, and how Ryan is the spitting image of the main rat from Flushed Away.

In the latest episode of The 4th Wall, Matt brings his favourite album of all time to the table, the Indie Rock masterpiece that is Teens of Denial by Car Seat Headrest.
There aren't as many tangents as last week but that doesn't mean we don't discuss a smorgasbord of topics, such as the troubled artist, mental health, public urination and 20th Century philosophy.

In the very first episode of The 4th Wall, Ryan has brought the 2011 neo-noir film Drive to the virtual table, and boy do we have some thoughts.
This is a very tangent-heavy episode, where we talk about everything from Inside Llewlyn Davies, to schizophrenic RPG's, and so much more.
