Sam and I marathon watch 24, taking breaks every 4 episodes to record a podcast. I know nothing about 24, but I am wearing a shoulder holster full of monster energy cans to try and get into the spirit of things and I‘m ready to enter the mind of the neo-con.
Break out the Official Presidential Suicide Kit and join us for the S5 finale. In which: - Trin times the President's time-to-nut - Sam says what he really thinks about 100 Gecs - and Jack murders a dude with his thighs
The drops get sillier, the plot gets more convoluted, and we get a real Cinderella story of a Bad Dad Award contender. In which: - Jack Ratatouilles an airliner - silly noises are made - and Jack goes "Oof"
Trin has a soundboard now, and Sam doesn't know what hit him. It's a silly episode, folks. In which: -women be shopping a ludicrous amount -the villain stakes get higher and dumber -and we trade a Kim for a new sinister heartthrob
This one had it all, folks. Robocop, the return of Kim, and, we can't stress this enough, a man being shot in the wife. In which: - it's villain central - Kim immediately gets imperilled - and a man gets shot! In the wife!
You wait all day for a contrived, insulting trolley problem, then two come along at once. In which: -the curtain raises once more on Accent Theatre -there's gas that makes you get funny with it -and actually there is another way
24BPP returns! To celebrate, we blow up half of our main cast and adopt a new Kim to imperil. Featuring: - Boy Kim, the Kim that's a boy - President Palmer, anime superfan - and Trin still mourning the loss of last season's villain
As part of our ongoing mission creep to document the full menagerie of fucked vibes from around the world, we dive into the Netflix original movie about Eurovision, mostly as an excuse to talk about the premiere European convention for some real types of guys. We're joined by resolute podcaster and vibes inspector Alice Caldwell-Kelly (@AliceAvizandum), and we either burn or solidify our fledgling European listener base once and for all. IN WHICH: - a film acts as a trailer for itself - Trin and Alice have a gay-off over a Greek - and you're all just figments of Sam's imagination
It's the season finale, and we've got our favourite lesbian assassins and secret threesomes to prove it. IN WHICH: -we solve the mystery of 9/11 in 24 (it happened twice) -President Boris Johnson -The Dreamworks Of Terrorism
Felix (@mystarlitsky) returns, Sam is a little "Chaos Hours", and Trin is disgusted by the writers like never before. - Amnesty International get a villain arc - Edgar disappoints us - We talk lots about 9/11
We're joined again by our friend Felix (@mystarlitsky) for an episode of lesbians, and killing the president. - the writers say "Sorry for the racism" - Operation: 24 Jump Street - and it's a bad day to be a husband
The writing team takes another swing at the entire plot of Season 2, and we reference a lot of video games. IN WHICH: -ACAB doesn't apply to Edgar -Our villain steals some valour -Love Me Son, 'Ate America, Simple As
We memorialise our new favourite competent terrorist, and start speaking Simlish. IN WHICH: - everyone's piping and getting piped - Jack Bauer: Ace Attorney - this mf said "Ringphone" - and we punch up some terror plans
This season, we watch a scowling man jump a shark for a full day. IN WHICH: - the lowest Time To Torture yet - replacement Kim peril - hypno kink as an interrogation technique - and we have a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack
Hey, it's still Christmas somewhere, and so the Christmas bonus episodes shall continue to flow. We've overcome a virus of our own, and now we've got one of the maddest and least competent things put to film to subject ourselves to. We're joined by our friend Felix for a very special episode: yes, it's a bumper bonanza of examining the mind of the hog through religious programming, with Left Behind (2000), Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas (2014), and our main event, 2025: The World Enslaved By A Virus, a frenziedly ill-made mess made by a very "libertarian" German and his young wife. We're sorry.
24BPP PRESENTS: The Girl Next Door (2004) Our first Christmas bonus episode! Elisa Cuthbert (Kim Bauer) stars in a high school romcom, as an actual porno lady, in a film that asks, "what did the 2000s hate more: Asians, gays, women, or the viewer?" Tune in to hear: - discussions of how the porn industry works - attempts to fit this into the wider 24 canon - what crime Sam thinks he'll be executed for - and Trin getting angrier than ever, faster than ever
We wave goodbye to treasured characters and limbs in another double-length finale. In which: -we explore the Presidential podcasting nook -more awards than ever are granted -and Trin stares down the barrel of the podcast gun
Jack faces his greatest foe yet: criticisms of US Foreign Policy. Is this show secretly good now? In which: -frying pan immunity comes back to haunt us -an MI6 agent kills Diana -Kim grows as a killer -and yet more dads!
Fill your lungs with virus, become the Joker, and prepare to melt! We meet the villain, and he's... Jack Whitehall? In which: -a hotel has a handy Hotel Gun -a whole new formulation of dad -and we discuss 24: The DVD Board Game!
Hear us find our second wind in real time as we ask: whose baby is this, and will Kim orphan it? In which: -President Wifeguy: The Return -Sam talks a lot about Tango & Cash -and a familiar smokeshow reappears!
Bad news: The plot sucks. Good news: now we have an entirely different plot, and maybe this one won't! In which: -everyone knows Andy the torturer -thank christ, Kim's in peril -and CTU Is Fake goes all the way to the top
Already the quagmire pulls us in, as a sweatier-than-ever Bauer tangles with some unfortunately named Hispanic chaps. In which: - Kim Was Not The Impostor - a new type of dad just dropped - and we fire the podcast gun
Three blissful months without 24 come to a screeching halt as we settle in for another day at the coalface. In Which: - we play "What the fuck is going on?" - we discuss potential future pod ideas - and we rename a host
A two-hour S2 finale. 24 thought it could destroy us. It didn't know we could destroy us first. You knew what you were getting into by listening. In which: - we mix drinks - Kim makes us cry laughing - and we make our final awards judgements
A shorter and more subdued episode as we envy Jack sleeping the sleep of the dead. In Which: - the hogs come out to play - Jack Bauer vibrates - and Jack Bauer gets vibrated to actual death
The No Good Day Award hits lethal fever pitch as the wisdom of doing this one day after season 1 starts to fray. In Which: - Palmer takes a Zoom call - a sheep dip filled with spaff - and Kim escapes Vault 101
This was the best of times. This was also very much the worst of times. It's downhill from here. IN WHICH: - Islam is handled sensitively - the torture veers from fun to upsetting - cougars (figurative) - and cougars (literal)
Sometimes a time capsule is full of insights on the past. Sometimes it's full of shit. Today, it's both. IN WHICH: - 24 gets very 24, even for 24 - The Return Of The Simping - and Kim engages in crime hijinks
Another dumbass, another day. Season 2 begins, and the sun rises on what may prove to be our undoing. The stakes are higher, the shouting is louder, and the hoggery? Oh, you'd better believe it's at its hoggiest yet. IN WHICH: - Jack Bauer returns from furlough with an ill advised beard - a white woman is menaced by a dastardly foreigner who is actually maybe the only tolerable character - meeting rooms are for meetings, briefings, and extrajudicial decapitations - and The Bad Dad Of The Day Sweepstakes begin, with no shortage of competitors
Welcome once again, to 24 *Jessi screams* We took a break for 24 hours to recuperate! Jack Bauer took a whole year! He's lazy, we're committed. We discuss some lingering thoughts we had about season 1, a review Jessi found and touch on what we think season 2 will be like before diving in!
Like a wet towel into a stomach, we've finally worked our way to the end. Tune in to hear: the long overdue addition of a van rampage (vanpage) the drama becomes critically melo Wife Cataclysm Hours and a series of sensible plans that a team of writers would sign off on
Sam continues to somehow have energy and Jessi has returned to wearing the shoulder holster, only with new contents. This week; George of the Jungle fails to watch out for a tree Jack meets the world's most angry and eager sniper Heavily armed home security guys and many more dudes with wacky accents
Beep, beep, beep, beep! 16:00 Jessi has hit an incredibly sapphic wall, Sam is irritatingly fresh as ever! This week we discuss; Greenes office conduct The appearance of George of the Jungle How to learn a new move, with Teri and confusingly, the lesbian dating app "her" Follow us on twitter! @24bauerpartyppl
We're into the real calamity arc of the podcast now folks. You might notice some amateur foley work as we attempt to gain a 3rd wind via some nice refreshments, sorry about that (but in our defence it is a marathon 24 podcast) In this episode: Jack asks too much of a service worker Fake Taxi starring Fake Dad cinematic parallels with Evangelion and ways to have fun with a towel Follow us on twitter @24hourpartyppl for some posting
We're beginning to enter the endurance hours of the podcast. 8 hours in and the energy drinks have been cracked open to discuss - Bad dads, fake dads, and the overlap therein - Dick Punchin' surgical technique - The most 2000's hackerman possible - Matt Hancocking for fun and profit (We had a fairly weird audio bug on the recording where it came out sounding like it had been run through content aware scale, so you might notice some very slight volume weirdness, best I could do in post with the nature of the podcast i'm afraid)
What if a day... had 24 hours? This is the daring question posed by 24, the 2001 real-time series about a Canadian pretending to be a policeman who shouts at his phone a lot. In this first episode, we discuss: - Machines, subsection: Mystery - Kiefer's signature swan dive - How Jack Bauer takes fingerprints and will not give them back
Sam and I discuss what I know about 24 (next to nothing) and set out what the plan is for the next 24 hours.
