#023: Richard Nixon-Approved Porridge
That man sure did love his Quaker Oats. 🥰Show Notes: • [2:35] What's up with old-school ads on VHSs and DVDs? Amiright? (Hold for applause.)• [11:50] We now have an Instagram account for the show! ... And Matt's in charge of it. Stay calm and alert the relevant authorities. But you should totally follow us or whatever. Links are below.• [18:46] 47 Meters Down is a terrible movie, as is its sequel 47 Meters Down Uncaged. Luckily for us, Matt loves terrible movies and decided to give it a watch so we don't have to.• [43:00] Did you know Vin Diesel did an infomercial type thing for Street Sharks back in the 90s? You do now! Join us as we bask in its awkward brilliance.• [49:40] The Charisma Vacuum Podcast has a new sponsorship agreement with Quaker Oats! Don't tell them this, of course, because then we'd be asking for trouble, but they really love us and want to give us money. Seriously. Now go buy porridge!• [54:30] Every few months Dan is legally obliged to talk wrestling - and this is that time! In this segment he fawns over WWE's rival wrestling federation, AEW, and especially two recent matches. Check out the links below for the videos that Dan talks about.• [1:03:24] On this week's Hypothetically Speaking Matt wants Dan to decide which supervillain he'd want to be his father. Yes, you read that right. It's weird, but it makes sense eventually. Kind of. Not really. Whatever.• [1:28:13] It's Fan-Fiction Fhursday time and we've got two all-time greats for you this week. Not sure how many people would have chosen the 90s Nickelodeon classic CatDog as an obvious outlet for their fan-fiction, but they did and here we are. The two stories Matt has lined up for us are... special. Be sure to watch the colour of Dan's face change as he laughs harder and harder throughout the amazingness.Show Links:• Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa Unsanctioned Lights Out Anything Goes Match: https://youtu.be/RLgz8YsO9LI• Arcade Anarchy Highlights: https://youtu.be/g1mOWvVRM64• "Dog Has Chipotle" is by Happy Dickfart and you can find it here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12636271/1/Dog-Has-Chipotle• "CatDog gets Neutered with a Potato Peeler" is by AsSRape69 and you can find it here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12082504/1/CatDog-gets-Neutered-with-a-Potato-Peeler  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt.

#022: Magic Lad and Room of Snake
Magic Lad has scar on forehead that look like N for Nintendo and Room of Snake pretty much shitty wine cellar with chonky worm.Show Notes:• [7:47] Dan had a weekend away and watched a crap-ton of the 90s sitcom Friends for the first time in years. He's surprised that it actually holds up really well and it prompts the guys to look into the general consensus as to which seasons of the show are considered as the most beloved.• [34:58] Something else that Dan caught up on during his travels was the movie Dragon Quest: Your Story, based on the immensely popular JRPG series. He's got a lot to say - mostly regarding the astonishingly misjudged finale - and dives into spoilers between 47:22-56:24. • [1:01:41] It's showtime. The guys begin what will be a month-long dive into the Harry Potter movies. Matt's a Potter nerd, while Dan honestly has no idea what the hell a "muggle" is. They take a retrospective look through the first two movies, Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, and rip the films apart - both for the better and worse.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt.

#021: Vampire Week
Who's your favourite bloodsucker? Mine's my ex-wife. Hashtag Vintage.Show Notes:• [8:27] Matt's been feeling a lot of nostalgia around Dexter's Lab recently and decided to take a look around the internet to see what he could find. This snowballs into a whole host of other random topics, including trying to figure out what that Tobey Maguire movie with cats and dogs was called. Was it Pound Patrol or something? Also, the Sylvanian Families mystery deepens.• [24:35] It's taken Matt three years to finish Persona 5! Sound the klaxon! Come celebrate his achievement and hear his thoughts about the game. • [33:55] Dan has also been doing a little bit of gaming this week and dove into the indie title Twin Breakers: A Sacred Symbols Adventure. He talks about it for ten minutes and gives a little bit of a review.• [46:00] The guys spoke on last week's show about how ultra-violent action movies of the 80s/90s managed to enter the consciousness of impressionable youths via toys - well they totally forgot about the cartoon! Dan scrolls through a list of all the 80s movies that became Saturday morning kids shows and gets excited that Hasbro are re-releasing their vintage line of Real Ghostbusters toys. â€¢ [1:02:30] The exceptional TV show Justified, starring the dreamy Timothy Olyphant, may return and Disney want Aliens to be the new Star Wars. The guys have an out-of-character serious debate about Disney's refusal to try anything new. • [1:19:00] It's Dan's bathroom break time (as is tradition) and Matt's diving into the first movie of the vampire week spectacular: Daybreakers (2009), starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.• [1:29:54] Time for the vampirific main event: our Blade Trilogy review and retrospective discussion. This goes on for a full 90 minutes, folks, so grabs some popcorn and strap yourselves in for a full dissection of the three cult movies starring Wesley Snipes. It's so intense that Matt's audio gives out towards the end and he sounds like he's doing the podcast from a shower cubicle on the moon. Post Show:• [https://youtu.be/lO_R42wZ6So] What if there was an anime idol band that comprised of ONLY characters from Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography? I'm sure it's a question you've pondered many times - and now it's a question you'll have to ponder no more as Matt and Dan are here to answer it for you! Who would be on lead vocals? Dutch from Predator? The T-800? Mr Freeze? Stay tuned and find out!• [https://youtu.be/2p9gI1NIS88] It's Fan-Fiction Fhursday time and this episode it's the turn of The Legend of Zelda to get the special treatment. Have you ever been curious about how Link TRULY feels about Zelda? Y'know, deep down? You may be thinking that he might have a secret crush and yearns to caress her face and kiss her lips, but nah, he pretty much hates her. You know who he ACTUALLY loves? Ganondorf. Yup, 'cos that doesn't not makes sense or anything. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt. We host a podcast. We are lacking in charisma.

#020: Rebuilds and Reichs, Robots and Rocks
"Webcams" doesn't begin with "R". :(Show Notes:• [4:44] Matt spent nine hours watching a full Bloodborne playthrough. Little does he know that Dan can do exactly the same in 19 minutes. The guys then talk about their love of the game and general PlayStation stuff.• [18:23] There's a new character in Star Wars! Is it a freaky new alien general of the Empire akin to a cult favourite like Thrawn? Perhaps a Jedi with a lineage to Qui Gon Jinn? No, none of that, unfortunately. It's, uh, a rock. Like, literally a rock. So that's a thing.• [27:49] Neon Genesis Evangelion is an anime very near and dear to the hearts of both Dan and Matt. The fourth and final movie in the remake series, Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time, has just been released in cinemas and the verdicts are steadily coming in. There's a discussion about the series in general and the guys' expectations with the finale just around the corner.• [51:55] It's Matt's weekly solo segment! Dan has the bladder of a small child so while he's away Matt discusses his harrowing experience watching Drag Me to Hell. He's becoming very sensitive in his old age. â€¢ [1:01:59] We've got three in-depth reviews today because we need to beef up our Clips of the Week section ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. We begin with the exquisite Jojo Rabbit, then take a stroll into talk of the brilliant [1:16:02] RoboCop, followed by a downbeat dialogue regarding the derisive [1:44:13] Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.• [2:12:21] Hypothetically speaking, who would win in a bitch fight between Nico from Love Live and Asuza from K-On? They're both small, annoying and have black hair so it's anyone's guess.• [2:20:52] Something a little different for Fan-Fiction Fhursday this week. No erotica for once as now we're dealing with an Edgar Allen Poe style horror piece set in the universe of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy. Oh, boy.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt.

#018: Snagglepuss vs Somali Pirates
Maybe if we petition Nintendo enough they'll make these two the next DLC characters in Smash?Show Notes:• [5:20] Matt's just started re-watching Scrubs again - a show both guys adore and have fond memories of - and a wholesome, thoughtful conversation begins. Most of the episode is wholesome and thoughtful, actually. Something is bound to go wrong... eventually.• [23:15] For the first time, uh, ever (?) the guys co-ordinate to actually watch a movie to review together. The movie in question is the tense sci-fi horror Underwater starring Kristen Stewart. It's a pretty lengthy, critical deep-dive for a change and you might actually be mistaken to think they know what they're talking about. Serious!• [48:19] The review continues but with added spoiler warnings.• [1:10:08] A few minutes chatting about new trailers and a bit of news as Henry Cavill potentially teases a Mass Effect project.• [1:17:10] Musical intermission from our house band, The Shit.• [1:20:12] It's time for a new segment! Get ready for Hypothetically Speaking, a fun little game where the guys throw out a ridiculous hypothetical question and do their best to answer it as seriously and logically as possible. This week's question: which six Hanna-Barbera characters would you assemble to go on a suicide mission to save your father from Somali pirates? It's as awesome as it sounds. And still wholesome.• [1:37:51] Oh no... Just... Oh no. It's Fan Fiction Fursday time. This week's story: A Raptor's Lust. Run, children. Save yourselves.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt. We host a podcast.

#017: It's Called Monster Hunter, SO WHERE'S THE DAMN MONSTER HUNTING
I haven't felt this annoyed and disappointed since eagerly renting out The Banger Sisters when I was 16.Show Notes:• Matt's full of custard (not a euphemism) and it's bringing out the worst in both of us. Case in point: Sonic foot porn. What should have been a straight-forward conversation about Matt's enjoyment of the Sonic Boom TV show turns into a disgraceful dive into Sonic eroticism. Again.• Dan's usually a bastion of positivity for the things he watches, but-- WHAT'S THIS? Turns out that he absolutely hates the new Monster Hunter movie from Paul W. S. Anderson. If you listen closely, you'll be able to hear the exact moment he gives up on life.• FullMetal Alchemist is one of Matt's all-time favourite anime shows. He's watching it again for the first time in a decade and still loves it as much as ever.• BREAKING NEWS! This just in: an anonymous user on 4chan reports in broken English that Robert Pattinson, star of the forthcoming The Batman, is in hot water for having sex with Zoe Kravitz on the Batmobile. Somehow, impossibly, this isn't actually the fan-fiction segment of the show.• More negativity from Debbie Downer Dan who isn't particularly enthused by the new Mortal Kombat trailer and rages about the revisionist history regarding Zelda: Skyward Sword and it's forthcoming Switch HD re-release.• Dan goes to the bathroom and leaves Matt to chat to the audience about his impressions of the Justice League: Snyder Cut trailer. Dan's writing this so has no idea what was actually said in the segment, but he's sure it's great and Matt's totally opinions are totally right. Especially regarding the Wolverine cameo.• There's been a goddam Mass Effect age rating conspiracy going on all these years and no one's even noticed! They've been hiding it right under our noses! We'll show those bastards and blow this case open for the whole world to see.• It's Fan-Fiction Fhursday time! This week Matt horrifies us all by regaling a tale about Marty McFly and Doc Brown and... a mysterious powder that... um... prompts a "reaction." Save yourselves, children.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt. We host a podcast.

#015: Dustin Diamond's Jam-Packed Spiderific Variety Hour Sponsored by Nintendo Power
RIP Screech. We mourn your tragic passing with probably the most bat-shit, nonsensical, highly offensive episode we've done so far. We know you'd have loved it.Show Notes:• Spiders. Just spiders.• So Jessica Rabbit was hot, right? Not from certain angles, apparently. We investigate this interesting quirk and the man behind the animation, then somehow it spirals right back around to spiders again. Sexy spiders, to be specific.• Remember that New Mutants film? From the X-Men? No? Hmm. Well, that's likely for the best. Matt's fairly indifferent to the perennially delayed movie, too. Probably would have been better with more spiders, but it does have ghostly demon bears, so that's cool.• It's time for Dan's weekly gushing orgasm! This episode he waxes lyrical about the over-looked Amazon Prime show Mozart in the Jungle. It's not actually about Mozart stranded in Borneo and fighting for survival among the unforgiving wilderness, unfortunately - and neither does it have spiders - but it's still a highly enjoyable comedy-drama about classical music in New York.• Last Action Hero! It's retro! It's awesome! â€¢ We're incredibly proud to introduce our new sponsor: Arrow Films! (They don't know about it yet but they're totally going to be stoked when they find out)• Wicked City: "The one with the spider woman with the jawed vagina ... and then it's just nothing but body mutilation and body horror and sex and nudity and uber violence and stylistic visuals and philosophical pontification." So, yeah... It's an anime. Matt loves it. Because of course he does. Also: spiders.• Dustin Diamond recently passed away and we take a few moments to be somewhat serious for once.• Matt starts reading letters but somehow the conversation segways into cartoons with plots that involve catching oversized, mythological fish. Oh, and GoldenEye. As should be expected, this escalates further and Matt utters the words "humanoid horse monster" in relation to the JFK assassination.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***We are Dan and Matt.

#014: King Kong Ding-Dong
Kong vs Godzilla: The story of how a neighbourly dispute about parking span wildly out of control. Show Notes:• I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week indulging in my self defeat. My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat, a comfortable three feet deep. Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week impaired my tribal lunar speak. And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done so I missed a million miles of fun. I know it's up for me if you steal my sunshine. Making sure I'm not in too deep if you steal my sunshine. Keeping versed and on my feet if you steal my sunshine. I was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street l-a-t-e-r that week. My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats, an incredible eight foot heap. Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat involved an under usual feat and I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come so I missed a million miles of fun. I know it's up for me if you steal my sunshine. Making sure I'm not in too deep if you steal my sunshine. Keeping versed and on my feet if you steal my sunshine. I know its done for me if you steal my sunshine. Not something hard to see if you steal my sunshine. Keeping dumb and built to beat if you steal my sunshine. My Sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine. My sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine. If you steal my sunshine. My sunshine.• Do you enjoy nostalgia? So do we! Just don't have your nostalgia infringe upon ours or there will be problems.• Live-action anime adaptations are pretty terrible. Dan and Matt attempt to investigate just how many crappy western versions of anime classics have been released over recent years, but it turns out that the Japanese do a damn fine job of butchering their classics themselves. We watch a few trailers and face the wrath of the YouTube copyright gods. Check out the Odysee link below to watch with us.• Dan loves the Netflix show Dark. He LOVES it. Like, a lot. He talks about it with all the passion of a lover making love to his TV set. Listen to his audible ecstasy then watch the show. Seriously, it's good.• Turns out that "Help! I'm a Fish" actually IS a real movie, after all! And Matt actually watched it! Little did we know it would be yet another title to add to his long list of body horror gems.• Curiously, Patton isn't a movie about body horror, but Matt likes it anyway and shares his enthusiasm for the George C. Scott Oscar winner, as well as Mystery Men. They're pretty much the same film if you think about it. â€¢ Godzilla vs Kong is nearly upon us! Who will win!? We can't say, but we're pretty confident that we'll find out by watching the shocked expressions of actors playing characters we couldn't give two shits about.

#013: ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBER SPECIAL!!!!!!!
OMG!! Thanks for the support, guys! We couldn't have done this without you.Show Notes:• Matt's still attracted to dog women. Let's support him and tell him to do his best!• Dan rambles a little bit about his sealed copy of Ico and uses Matt's TOTAL RECALLâ„¢ abilities to learn more about the day it was bought.• Integrating single player Pokemon Blue into a multiplayer experience sounds cool. It happened! Check it out here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/881400749• Dan and Matt remember the time Dan scolded some drunken yobs in a theatrical screening of Endgame and nearly got beaten with a belt. Treasured memories.• Little Trees' song Help! I'm a Fish (I'm a Little Yellow Fish) triggers a Vietnam-like flashback in Matt, who walks us through a film that some doubt even existed in the first place.• Tammy and the T-Rex. Not saying anything else. Watch the trailer and thank us later.• We round up the latest Marvel movie news that'll probably be completely outdated and irrelevant by the time you read this.• Matt's in one of his good ol' body horror moods and he wants us all to get in the groove with him! So sit back, relax and take a sip of that warm tea as we learn about the 1999 movie Virus, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, and the horrifyingly disturbing stories of mangaka Junji Ito. We promise that you'll more than likely find it deeply upsetting! Check it out and see for yourself!Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!*** Credits:• "Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#012: Whipping Out an Enormous Dick to Save Christmas
Who even knows what this show is about anymore. It's deteriorating at a rapid rate. Show Notes: • Are Sylvanian Families actually from Transylvania? An investigation 25 years in the making begins now. • ASMR sketches, Bananaman, the Silver Surfer animated show and the Masked Mutant from Goosebumps all somehow get smushed into an interconnected five minute conversation. • The original Final Fantasy VII doesn't live up to expectations. • The new Studio Ghibli movie Earwig and the Witch looks unbelievably uninspiring and we're even more bummed out when we find out Goro Miyazaki is in charge. • John Dillermand, a man with a "heroically large penis," is the children's stop-motion show we never knew we wanted. Wait, do we want it? • What in the ever living fuck is wrong with The Adventures of Mark Twain? And Michael Jackson's Speed Demon isn't much better. • Darkness Falls is Matt's confusingly bad but also good horror recommendation of the week. It's not An Extremely Goofy Movie, though. • Letters! Everyone loves letters! • A brief interlude from our house band: The Shit. • We play a rousing game of "Guess the Celebrity by the Terrible Fan Art!" It's lots of fun.

#011: Roxanne, A Goofy Movie and the 'F' Word
So Matt's a furry now. Tell everyone you know.Show Notes:• The show starts with Dan summarising up to Chapter 16 of Blake J. Harris' excellent book "Console Wars," which then spins off into talk of James B. Stewart's Disney War, and somehow the GameCube and XBox Live are dragged into it.• The Nier Automata talk resumes from last week as a recent secret has been found in the game causing the series' rabid fandom to go into meltdown.• Matt doesn't really know how to feel about the Resident Evil 3 remake, but he's on the verge of the platinum so that's all that matters. Another Dino Crisis game would be nice, while we're on the subject.• What Matt DOES like is A Goofy Movie, especially Roxanne. He wants a body pillow of the teenage, anthropomorphised dog woman, but they don't make them, so we're going to make our own and rule the world.• Do you like wrestling? No? Oh. Well, um, that's too bad. Dan goes on a tirade for 75 minutes and tries to explain the beauty of the sports/entertainment hybrid via the sublime career of New Japan's Switchblade Jay White.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#010: Hands-On with Dark Souls: Bandicoot Edition
Sorry, Melissa.We've finally reached 2021 and to celebrate the new year Matt and Dan ramble aimlessly for an hour and a half about their Christmases and just how sucky 2020 was for decent entertainment. That isn't all, though, as there's lots of confusion around Disney animated songs; despair at a casting choice for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid; joy reminiscing over Crash Bandicoot, Persona 5, Nier Automata and Tremors; and hysterical excitement about the upcoming Wrestle Kingdom 15!Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE AND WE GET DRUNK! What else do you need to know?

#008: Robocop Shit the Bed
Disclaimer: This episode is not about Robocop, nor is it about Robocop literally shitting the bed.I know. We're sorry.Instead, we talk about movie trilogies for a little while - both the good ones and the bad ones - following Matt's viewing of the excellent Planet of the Apes series. Elsewhere in the show we dive around all over the place and go into detail on: collecting Super Famicom games; Disney's recent major Star Wars movie/TV announcements; the surge in anime viewership around the world over the last year; Saved by the Bell gets dark; and possibly the worst Christmas song of all time.Thanks for tuning in!***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#007: Die Another Day is a Bad Movie and I Don't Want to Talk About it Anymore
Anyone with any foresight would have known to take the one and only opportunity to make episode #007 a Bond special and run with it, however it appears that not only do we lack Charisma here at the Charisma Vacuum Podcast, we also lack foresight, too.But let's not dwell on that.Matt and Dan DO talk Bond for a little bit, but also dive into the topics that have entertained them this week, including: Mel Gibson's turn as Santa in Fatman; the puzzle/romance classic Catherine; Cyberpunk 2077 glitches galore; TLOU2 loses out to Ghost of Tsushima; old school Sonic webpages; and Species 4: The Awakening. We also disastrously attempt to do a bit of improv in our movie title generator game and there's retro gaming letters as always.Thanks for tuning in!***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#006: Tom Hanks Death Stare
After listening to the thousands upon thousands of comments from our loyal fans, we decided it's time for a bit of a soft reboot here at the Charisma Vacuum Podcast.Gone (for now) are the long, detailed topics on niche, geeky subjects, replaced instead with a short blast of random, frenzied shenanigans. A few of the old favourites remain - Matt and Dan talk about what they've been up to this week and there'll always be letters - but there's also now time for quirky news stories and things we've stumbled across that might either be awesome or terrible depending on your point of view. There's Doom, Better Watch Out, 60-foot Gundams, Japanese pop-metal, The Polar Express, Whitest Kids U Know, and our very own movie: Becoming Her Parents.It's a jam-packed show and we hope that you enjoy!***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#005: Brack Friday Bunduru
It's part two of our Thanksgiving special here at The Charisma Vacuum Podcast and this week we're celebrating rampant, joyful consumerism! Yes, what's more seasonal at this time of year than getting in your car, heading to your local shopping outlet and beating up a few old women to get 5% off a vacuum cleaner? Absolutely nothing, that's what. We indulge in a few memories of Black Fridays past, then have a casual conversation about some of our happiest memories splashing the cash. Elsewhere in the show, it's time to talk Christmas!Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!***  "Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

#004: OMG IT'S MECHA SCORPION
It's a special Thanksgiving episode here at the Charisma Vacuum Podcast!Sure, we're English and don't even really know what a "Thanksgiving" is, but we decided to use the occasion as a time to celebrate our many years of friendship and reminisce about the TV shows and movies that worked as the glue to bond us together during the first twelve months. It's an honest, whimsical retelling of history and touches on shows that define our relationship in one way another, like Smallville, 30 Rock and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Elsewhere, Matt talks about his hilarious encounter with Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Dan gushes over Train to Busan and Brie Larson even makes an appearances.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show! ***"Lifeguard" by WJLP is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
