In this week's episode we talk Top Gun and have ourselves some other pop culture-related fun. The Joker sings, Josh Brolin talks to himself, Taika wants to create worlds and Netflix wants to give you 4.56 million dollars. And somehow we're in a universe with Guy Ritchie and Disney: The Odd Couple. All that and more in this week's News and Previews. Karen gets between the covers with The Yellow Wallpaper, a haunting and powerful short story from 1892 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman brought to glorious graphic novel life by illustrator Hannah Flügler.For our finale, Tyler takes to the skies, Flying F...king his way in to the Danger Zone with his review of Top Gun: Maverick. P.S. Come join our Film Club! Our first film to watch will be RRR, a raucous Bollywood action flick which is getting lots of love out there.

It's been a week, as  every Showcase, Con and Fest brought us news and previews of a bunch of the things we can look forward to for the rest of the year, The Joker seemingly has more jokes to tell, Marvel reveals their Suicide Squad, an extra-terrestrial went home 40 years ago and dinosaurs run amok (again).

We manage to make it two episodes in a row without something catastrophic happening.  This week our News and Previews is filled with a bunch of stories from all over the world of pop culture and entertainment.We follow that up with a Rant, Rave and Review of the first 3 episodes of The Boys, before hitting the Retro Rewind button to talk about a true classic in the horror genre, Poltergeist, and possibly the best of the Star Trek films, Wrath of Khan both of which are celebrating 40th anniversaries.We finish the episode by giving ourselves (and you, friendly listeners) a little homework assignment and asking the question, is 1982 the greatest year in cinematic history?

It has been but a minute since we did this thing we do, and in this spanking brand new episode we explain our unintentional absence as well as talk about a few of the things that happened in the world of entertainment and pop culture while we've been away as well as all the things we've managed to watch and consume over the last little while. It's good to be back. Enjoy!

New week, new episode. In this week's episode we talk about the droves of subscribers leaving the once all-mighty Netflix and we question our credibility as so-called cinephiles and pop culture podcast hosts. The release of Nic Cage's new film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, has us talking about some of our most favourite and least favourite films from this enigmatic actor, and we finish it all off with a fictional retelling of the life and times of Elisabeth Shue, using some of the characters she has played in a new segment, Unauthorized Lie-ograghy. Enjoy.

Today is National Canadian Film Day, and therefore we are talking about all things Canadian film.  National Canadian Film Day is a massive one day celebration of Canadian film and filmmaking.  This year the spotlight is shone brightly on Indigenous voices and their stories. We watched and discuss a few of the spotlighted films and Canadian film in general.  

In this episode we get our talk on about the little hidden treasure of a film celebrating its 25th anniversary, Grosse Pointe Blank. We then give out our traditional Flying F...s to Michael Bay's latest, Ambulance, and proceed to discuss the rest of the Bayhem catalogue. We end things with a little talk about those great scenes from movies that look so very cool - until you stop and consider their logistical issues - in our new segment, Wonderful BS. 

What happens when we hit the record the button without so much as a plan?  Almost two hours of pure Pop Cult gold.  It's a long one today, as we get our babbles on about a whole slew of stuff.  Oscars, E3, a new film festival for 2022, casting news, and bunch of other tasty tidbits. We celebrate the start of National Poetry Month with a shoutout to a local poet.We review intentionally hilarious The Bubble and the unintentionally hilarious Moonfall.To finish things off, we take a look back at the mostly excellent career of Bruce Willis, who, sadly due to health concerns, has decided to step away from acting.  It's a fun ride, we hope you enjoy it,. 

After a brief and unexpected hiatus we are back behind the mics and bringing you our ramblings on all things pop culture,  On this episode we finally get to babble on about and celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the best television shows of ever and ever, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, we share our love for Canadian Alt/Rock/Punk goddess, Bif Naked in our Pop Cult Celebrity Profile, and we awkwardly and with mild shame giving a generous amount of Flying F...s  to the family friendly Disney/Pixar flick Turning Red.

We are back!!As per usual we are starting a new season of the podcast with our traditional, if slightly unconventional Valentine's Day episode. This year we share with you some of our favourite Vampires from film and tv.So why not cuddle up with that special someone or curl up by yourself and get sucked in and seduced by the lure and the lore of a movie monster that has hidden away in the shadows of our screens big and small for past 100 years. Happy Vampire's Day!!

We take one last look back at everything that was 2021.

It's our final episode of season 2, and in it we say good bye to a literary legend we say hell to the final season of The Expanse and in between we do all that other babbling and rambling we tend to do.,  Enjoy!
