The Ferals Podcast

Ferals: First Wrapup Part II

Ah sequels, where would we be without them? Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Speed 2: Cruise Control... my life would have no meaning! In this final of our two-part wrap up show, we delve into a mega-credits segment that looks at the amazing cast and crew involved in creating The Ferals, and their other notable career highlights... well, at least those we can track down via IMDB. Some true private eye-level investigations there, folks. We also cover our best and worst episodes (thanks to the stat-master Monkey Boy), general Season 2 'awards' and overall favourite moments from the podcast itself. Oh, and Swinny totally won the fan-voted VIP award. Completely legit. What a legend.So with that being said - from Monkey Boy, Swinny and Mike - thanks for all the laughs and goodbye!

Still it was one effective line Got him the girl, at least half the time Well – maybe just the ones who spoke English But Mike was a deeply tortured soul QBasic gorillas torment him so But the podcast exorcised He's now QBasically alive again He was a lonely flea-ridden immigrant Wearing his awesome fake Adidas pants But he knew it was his second chance The day we started the show [Chorus:] But now we’re saying bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times And good old Mike will curse till the day that he dies Saying 'Screw that Future Luke and his plans' 'Screw that Future Luke and his plans' [Outro] I met a man in Officeworks And I asked him if he needed help But he just pointed at his headphones and shrugged Then he went to the grocery store To buy some tongues and seed clusters And other various pink dollar products That man’s name was Dave Dobbins But not the famous kiwi one An object of obsession Swinny’s slice of heaven And to the one listener we never bribed Superfan Leigh, that awesome guy He finally unsubscribed The day the podcast died [Chorus:] Now we’re saying, bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times These three men leave through the Doom Door, it'll cry Screaming 'doom door sound' 'doom door sound' [Chorus:] Now we’re saying, bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times Now Monkey Boy, Swinny & Mike Are saying – thanks for all the laughs and goodbye ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Bonus First Wrapup

Alas, it's all over, the last _fresh_ Ferals-related recording from us; yes, we still have our best of season two as a final release. But wait, in our obvious subconscious desperation to hold on to any semblance of a show that provides us three with a scintilla of meaning in our life, we've run over time. Yes, a whopping Peter-Jackson-worthy three and a half hours of raw uncooked Ferals deconstruction goodness. We've decided to split the recording into two parts: 1) First Wrapup and 2) Ferals: First Wrapup Part II. What you'll get in this episode: an in-depth _Charlie Rose_-esque panel interview our of #2 Superfan Leigh, our take of the Ferals Extended Universe (EU) including Feral TV and the Ferals Fantastic Funbook and close it off with some random Ferals trivia. Join Monkey Boy, Swinny, Mike and Superfan Leigh as they revisit the bizarre, violent – and at times, frankly _disturbing_ world of Australian children's TV show, The Ferals! Tweet, Like or Email us!

S02E15 Fossil Fools

This is it - dear listeners. The final countdown! It's been a long, hard road, but we're finally up to the last ever episode of The Ferals - Fossil Fools. While we still have our final wrap-up episode and Season 2 highlights package on the way, I feel it's only fitting that we step back and take a moment to bask in the glory of our accomplishment. Over 37 hours of talking bullshit about a 90s Aussie kids puppet show. Damn. That's a lot of bullshit. In the finale - Episode S02E15 - all hell breaks loose. The gang open up a dodgy dinosaur park, Mixy has crap thrown at her face, Derryn gets a prick in the ass and everything is literally CRUSHED, KILLED and DESTROYED by the show's climax. What a way to go out.

S02E14 Joe's Army

It took 29 episodes, but it's finally come down to this, dear listeners. I'm quitting The Ferals Podcast. I know there's only one episode left to review - but I just can't take it anymore. The pressure to perform at an elite level; to put on an entertaining show, week in, week out - it's too much for me to handle. So, I'm sorry Monkey Boy & Mike - Swinny Costello is hitting the road. Going it alone. Like Jane Eyre - I've got to turn my back on something I truly love in order to continue my journey of self-discovery and Independence. So please join me next week - where I kick off the very first episode of my new solo episodic analysis show - The Hogan's Heroes Podcast. 'I see NOTHING! I know NOTHING!' It's gonna be so awesome. Episode S02E14 of The Ferals features Joe joining the army, Keith & Kylie declaring gang warfare, Lenny having a SNIF and Mixy being horrifically tortured by the enemy. Just like Guantanamo Bay - but with more puppets!

S02E13 Prime Suspect

Back in the episode summary for S02E05 - I predicted that Lenny would be the character most likely to snap and kill everyone on the show. But now I see I was truly misguided - my imagination led astray and lulled into a false sense of security by a character whose early intentions seemed good, nice... Innocent. However... imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in. Robbie - you tricked me. And as I lie here dying - writhing in a puddle of my own blood after being bludgeoned by your electric guitar, all I can do is look up to the stars and scream your name. CURSE YOU, ROBBIE THE RIPPER!! In Episode S02E13, Mixy is on the hunt for evidence of a homicide! Watch (or listen) in suspense as she struggles for proof that Robbie is beginning to murder her close friends in cold blood - and the Ferals are next.
