@@SoulSukkur See, I think I disagree there! They've obviously been working together for a decade or so so they're a bit more in sync, but Quinns has a "junior news presenter on his eleventh cup of tea" meets "ADHD friend sharing their latest hyperfixation energy" whereas Matt is much more sedate but also reminds me more than anything of Monty Python's Flying Circus. His humour is far more non-sequitur absurdism. Take the Star Wars: Rebellion review. That's pretty much a Quinns script...but I'd bet that Matt wrote the opening gag.
