When he says "AM I BEING FUCKING UPSTAGED?" I lost it. Well worth a watch / listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Cannot wait to watch that when I get home. Sounds delightful.  Anyone listening to Omnibus? It's hosted by Ken Jennings (bloke with the longest ever winning streak on Jeopardy) and John Roderick (indie musician), and the gimmick is that they're compiling a record of obscure human knowledge for the future, so each episode is around one weird story, idea, person, whatever, with a lot of variety. So there's an episode on Milli Vanilli, one on plans for the Queen's death, one on Heil Honey I'm Home, one on the European Starling, and so on and so on. It can be really interesting, like a sort of less smug QI, with some genuine laugh out loud moments (for me, at least), and having binged a lot of it over the past couple of months, I've come to find John Roderick's voice extraordinarily soothing and good fun.

Mr_Danger Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've rinsed all the free podcasts of Dan Carlins' Hardcore History which I can' t recommend highly enough. The one on WW1 was horrific. Any history podcasts in a similar vein I can check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted May 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2018 Anyone else into movie podcasts? I can’t geet enough of them. I listen to - Kermode and Mayo Empire Filmcast Pure Cinema Podcast Cinemile Film Junk Are there any others worth checking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted May 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 @waters44 Truth and Movies is pretty good, it's by the guys who write for Little White Lies movie magazine. They do a weekly Film Club as part of their podcast which has introduced me to some incredible films. I listen to both Empire and Kermode and Mayo. Empire is decent enough, I'm a big MCU fan so enjoy the spoiler specials and interviews. I went off Kermode and Mayo for a good few years but they're back on form now, Kermode seems to have toned down his annoying forced-rant shit and spends more time talking about films he's enjoyed which is a much better listen.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 Coincidentally, I gave Kermode and Mayo a listen to for the first time in a few years. Kermode has calmed down on the gimmick and is far more listenable as a result. The other thing, which was my biggest gripe when I listened a few years ago, is the emails Mayo reads from their listeners. I don't know if I just tuned in on a bad week, but they seemed to have gotten worse with their try hard nature. So many words - carefully roided up on Thesaurus.com, I presume - for such a nothing bit of feedback, other than "aren't we clever?". There is just a level of neediness there that taps into some of deep rooted bit of self-loathing all their listeners that choose to email in should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted May 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 Oh yeah, the emails are still try-hard and cringeworthy. I've pretty much taught myself to mentally tune out during listeners emails/all the extra podcast shit and only really listen for the interviews and reviews. Mark Kermode's absolute fear of criticising anything female-directed so as not to upset his missus is hilarious though.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 @waters44 How Did This Get Made is tremendous fun. The Bloodsport, Crank and Punisher : War Zone episodes are crackers. Honestly, it will warm your cockles. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Cinema Swirl usually gets mention when this subject comes up. I think the show itself is dead as they haven’t had a new episode since December, but the rest of them are still there to be listened to. Their Commando, Predator and Rocky episodes are probably the pick of the bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted May 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks for the recommendations! I used to like the Cinecast podcast but that ended a while back - does anyone know if the people from that started a different one or anything? Also a friend of mine mentioned the Now Playing podcast but it looks like you have to pay for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 9, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2018 My usual back-up movie podcast when I've listened to my usuals on a given week is Rewatchability. I used to like the Cracked Movie Club podcast too but there hasn't been a new one of those since November so I think they stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Just discovered that myself recently, and having coincidentally just started to rewatch the series on Netflix. Haven’t had the chance to listen yet but I’m hoping it’s good. As some as you may know, I’ve recently launched Inside Oz, the world’s only Oz review podcast. I put the third episode out today, and I’m feeling like I’m starting to find my groove with it too. I’d appreciate any fans of the show to give it a shot- https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/inside-oz/id1412397275?mt=2 Edited August 3, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
