Episode 5 - Sooz Kempner (Cabaret)

Episode 10 - MrSteJ (Labyrinth)

We've somehow made it to 10 whole episodes and to celebrate this milestone I just had to invite Twitch retro streamer MrSteJ, one of the inspirations for this podcast, on to talk about all things retro and all things Labyrinth. Labyrinth is Ste's favourite movie of all time, but being the nerds we are we also discuss a lot of nerdy things around collecting toys and physical media!

Episode 9 - Vinny Caravella (The Last Starfighter)

This week I'm joined by Nextlander and Giant Bomb LEGEND Vinny Caravella to talk kid's tv, shorthand, content creation in the current landscape and of course, the 1980s cult hit The Last Starfighter. It was an honour to chat with Vinny who has been a huge part of my podcast life!

Episiode 8 - Johnny Amizich (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly)

Culture Dumpster's Johnny Amizich joins me for this episode to discuss Sergio Leone's sprawling 1966 Western Epic The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. We also discuss Liverpool FC, The Sopranos, Hokum, Lee Cronin's The Mummy and more!

Episode 7 - Jeff Bakalar (Hackers)

This week I'm joined by Jeff Bakalar, aka Jerf, the CEO of Giant Bomb who has recommended to me HACKERS, the 1995 computer-themed cult hit starring Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie. We discuss a year of Giant Bomb indepdence, the stagnation of tech and a return to single-purpose devices, watching YouTube instead of regular television and of course, tuck into the main course of cyberdelic nostalgia.

Episode 6 - Mike Drucker (Hundreds of Beavers)

This week I had the pleasure of being joined by Emmy-nominated writer and comedian Mike Drucker as wel discussed, well, a lot of it was about video games! From building houses in Pokopia to Mike's autobiography of a life in video games "Good Game, No Rematch" and chats about Project Hail Mary, video game art books and more, we then get into the main event - the 2022 homage to silent movies (and Looney Tunes), Hudreds of Beavers. This week also sees the debut of a theme tune created by the amazingly talented booradleyboo - you can find his work at https://www.youtube.com/@booradleyboo [https://www.youtube.com/@booradleyboo]. I need a better intro to fully show it off! One change you might notice from this episode is that I'm no longer embedding clips of the film - just to stay on the right side of Youtube's content systems!
