Episode 27 - The Dark Knight Rises
SPOILER WARNING! This week we SPOIL a certain blockbuster called “The Dark Knight Rises”, so be warned - here be SPOILERS! We extend our previous Question of the Week for another 7 days and dust off the ancient tomes in order to discuss This Week in Box Office History.
One of our listeners, @reluctant_gent, wrote us an excellent piece on his blog as his way of answering our previous Question of the Week. What a lovely bloke! You can find it here.
Episode 26 - The A-Team
It’s our final episode for a while and what better way to see us out than with Joe Carnahan’s “The A-Team”? We also go through This Week in Box Office History and ask another Question of the Week. Listen! Enjoy!
Episode 25 - South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
This week we continue our TV-shows-adapted-into-films month with the 1999 classic, “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut”. We also discuss controversial films and venture into Tangent City as we talk about Bev’s dreams of being a Vietnam War photographer and the time she trained her dog to run errands, among other things.
Episode 24 - Head
This week Nigel and Bev discuss “Head” starring The Monkees. We also ask another Question of the Week and celebrate the return of This Week in Box Office History. Hurrah!
Episode 23 - Battle Royale
This week we discuss the Japanese cult classic, “Battle Royale”, and our favourite high school films. We also discuss Bev’s not-so-new news item and go through some lengthy Question of the Week feedback.
Episode 22 - Carry on Screaming!
This week we finish Carry on March with the horror spoof “Carry on Screaming!”. We also try something different with Question of the Week and struggle through This Week in Box Office History.
Episode 21 - Carry on Cowboy
This week is part 3 of our Carry On-athon with “Carry on Cowboy”. We also answer a Question of the Week and talk about anything and everything that comes to mind - as usual!
Episode 20 - Carry on Cleo
It’s Tangent City this week as we discuss various things on our way to reviewing “Carry on Cleo”. We ask another Question of the Week, crack open ancient texts for This Week in Box Office History and also inadvertently start a new segment.
