Thank you so much for doing this! I just remembered this thread yesterday, so happy to find it here.

I want to know if Dan has started watching Man in the High Castle. It seems his sort of thing. Might try and ask him next time he does a liveshow since he usually always seems to answer my premiums for some weird reason lol.

:D

tv shows:
Arthur (animated pictures series for children on CBBC) Dan loved it when he was a kid. "I blame Arthur for making me a furry"
Raven (children's adventure game - think Takeshi's castle for children). Dan loved it, wanted to participate badly, had a crush on the host.
Phil was obsessed with Big Brother UK (reality show) at one point. He seems to like his trashy tv, but has a level of trash he doesn't go beyond (from his liveshow).
Dan: Bake off crème de la crème. (basically great british bake off but for pro bakers), he had an orgasm describing the pastries, wants to try them all

films:
Deadpool
Batman vs Superman. Both said it was so-so, beginning good, ending disappointing. they wanted to whack in too many stuff. Dan still gave it 3/5. "If you're a nerd go watch it, you'll have fun".

Hello! I’m new and kinda late to this thread, I just moved here from the GG forum.

They seem to be reading a lot of books as well. I was wondering if you guys also have a list of Dan and Phil’s book recommendations (or just books they’ve read that you guys know of)? The only thing I know is that the Millennium Trilogy is Dan’s favourite and Phil is a fan of Stephen King’s works.
