On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" movie and whether he bastardised a classic of the Western canon; why the Government is right to pursue inheritance tax cuts; and the role that degenerate online content plays in the warping of minds like Lorcan Murphy's.

With the treasonous Jason shamefully AWOL this week, Ben is left to heroically fend for himself with last minute help from Fatima on The Long Game podcast. On the agenda: the murder of Jamey Carney; whether "men" in general are to blame; and youth offenders terrorising society.

In a wide-ranging conversation this week, Ben and Jason cover the case of Riad Bouchaker, the Minister for Housing's belief that he has no say over the demand side of the housing crisis and two movies that have generated a lot of conversation recently: Citizen Vigilante and Obsession.

Scorching scenes in Europe provoked terror across the continent, or so the media would have it, leaving Jason and Ben longing for a return to common sense. Also this week, is Pride running out of steam? And are the fuel protests set to make a reappearance?

Much to Ben and Jason's surprise (not), the Dáil backed a Sinn Féin bill last week to get rid of the three-day abortion waiting period. They discuss the "betrayal" of voters who were reassured by that promise, as well as poor weeks press-wise for the Taoiseach and Tánaiste.

This week on the podcast Laura spoke to Cllr Gavin Pepper. This Councillor explained his work in his constituency of Ballymun-Finglas, the issue of housing, the lack of investment, the problem with suspended sentences and the need for universal health care.
