Rock band, The Monicas, decided to give music a rest and try podcasting on for size. Each week they discuss the weeks news, and any other bits of useless information that pops in to their tiny little minds. Oh...and there's the matter of the zombie apocalypse going on outside...
Hello! How have you been? Ah…sorry to hear that, but enough about you. We've got a bumper podcast to get through so strap in. Allen tells us about his trip to Alton Towers, and what rides he chickened out from. Pete uncovers the latest about the new Universal Theme park due to open this Summer in Florida, and Dean still struggles to understand what or where his Alexa is.Add to this memories of the late Val Kilmer, stir in Pete's Massive Movie Dump™, bake for 45 mins in a Dutch oven and you've got yourself quite the entrée. Bon Appetite! So, don't forget to leave a tip, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Friends…Listeners…Podcasters…Lend us your lugholes! That, dear listeners, is the war cry of someone who's just watched Gladiator 2, or II, if you're of the TikTok generation. And as we walk, wearily, away from the blood drenched sands of the colosseum, our attentions are once again drawn to the comforting glow of our TV screens. From Dean's views on Sky's Dune: Prophecy (Game of Space Thrones) to Allen's verdict on the big screen adaptation of smash musical, Wicked (It's got a talking goat), and a conversation on what's gone wrong with Star Wars…What more could you want?So, get ready to go on my first whistle, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
If you go down to the woods today you may be in for a big surprise…but if you hear the distant sound of a duelling banjo then you'd better get out of there sharpish. Yes, that's right, Dean's watched Deliverance for the first time! And staying with the theme of things that are dead old, we're getting all nostalgic about the 80's (again). So, whether you're a Blue Thunder fan, or you're nutty for Airwolf, we've got you covered. So, get back to the future, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
From Penguins to dancing bears, this episode has it all. Think Harrison Ford went off the boil after Temple of Doom? Think Again. Think Al would make a good Robin Hood? You're wrong. But if you're thinking that the guys have seen a bucket load of movies and box sets to mull over in Deano's kitchen (he's been kicked out of his shed) then you're bang right!From Joker 2 to Speak No Evil, from Blink Twice to The Penguin they've got you covered. You're more than welcome.So, put on your best Fez, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
I'm going be straight up with you, this episode may be a little Marvel heavy for the casual listener. But let's be honest, if you're still listening 87 episodes in then you know what to expect. But it isn't all about Deadpool & Wolverine. There's also Olympics chat, Trans sports musings, breakdancing and spin classes. Oh, and something about Robert Downey Jr and a Dr. Doom?Lets Fu@king Go!So, Pass the Protein shake, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Yes, we can talk about the heroic efforts of the England squad in the Euros. Yes, we can talk about our high hopes for Deadpool & Wolverine. But all of this, surely, pales into insignificance when compared to the sheer heft of Deano's snoring problem. Listen and learn.We also throw into the mix bloody Roman battles, a murderous honey loving bear, and a missing truffle snuffling pig. BOOM! So, whip your meringue to a stiff peak, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
It's that time of year again. Doesn't it half come round quick!? That time when we all say that it's doesn't feel at all Christmassy. But its here so deal with it. So, to continue the un-festive feel, this episode sees Pete talk about his trip to Mexico, Dean has a fall and Allen…well…Al does what he does. So, wrap your pigs in blankets, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
What are sweetbreads? What is a Bisto dip? Does Eternia have a DFS? These are just some of the questions asked in this meaty episode as Pete gets busy chomping on a cows face, Dean tries to buy Slipknot tickets and Al discovers, much to his horror, what Haggis is really made from. It's truly offal.So, pre-heat the oven to 180c , but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
There are many ways to go. Most of us would like to think that we'll slip away in our sleep at a ripe old age, surrounded by family and loved ones. But some, misguided, adventurous fools, will die screaming while being nadgered by a shark, or fall head first into a one-way chasm of death. Not us. I can tell you that for nowt.So, while Dean scares us silly with the story of the Nutty Putty Caving Incident, the rest of us try to sort our Argonauts from our Titans, and wonder why anyone would so much as dip a toe into the ocean...EVER!So, get yourself a bigger boat, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
There's nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to handle his tool. A man who knows his Tube Nuts from his flange bolt thingy. Yes, creating fire from scratch can be impressive, but can you use a bubble wotsit to sort that wonky shelf? No? That's what Dads are for.So, with that said, we also have belated Oscar chat (we're working on it!), American Wrestling, and talk about our favourite movie masks. So, fire up your impact driver, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Now look here. DGO are not ones to preach (much), but now and again there are important topics that need to be addressed and the stigma around men getting their prostate checked is one such issue. Yes…we've gone there.But it's not all serious back door talk. There's also movie reviews, Hedgehog attacks and offal chat. What's not to like?So, lie on your side and lift your knees up to your chest, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
In order for any society to thrive there needs to be stability, an order to things. You can't have people changing things willy-Nilly, making up their own rules and challenging the Status Quo when they feel like it. Well, you can when it's absolutely necessary, but some things are not up for change and the Great British mixed grill is one of those things!At last this raging hot potato is tackled head on…and it's not a pretty sight. So, pick your Big Five, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Want to hear Dean talk about his trip to New York? “Fuhgeddaboudit!” Want to hear Allen's secret to making the perfect ‘slaw'? “Hey! I'm walking here!”This episode has these, and other bits, cleverly edited together to make them sort of make sense. We're talking parking ticket Hell, whale sperm theories de-bunked, and killer cartoon bears. Add to that Apocalypse Clowns, Killers of the Flower Moon and Steve Coogan's creepy portrayal of TV paedophile Jimmy Savile and you've got yourself one spicy meatball!So, pop in a pickled onion but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Birthdays are something to celebrate. Whether you go for a family meal, a classy wine tasting or a naked bungee jump in the Aldi carpark, they should be treasured. Especially when you get to the age of these three codgers. As Dean marks his milestone, we also hear of his interest, and complete bafflement, in the world of wine. What? How much? Why?Pete tells of his first dining in the dark experience, Allen reveals his fear of “Mystery Meat”, and Dean enthralls with a truly horrible tale of aquatic love gone wrong. Oh, and there's a bit about Stephen King in there as well. So, remember All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
“I'll be back.” “Get to the chopper!” “I did not get my maid pregnant.” These are just a few quotes from arguably one of the greatest action stars, and indeed Arnolds, of all time…Schwarzenegger!From his best bangers to his worst clangers, we hear the guys favourites and guilty pleasures. You know what they say…One man's Terminator is another's Jingle All The Way. Other topics covered may also include freakishly bendy elbows, orbs from down below and we ask…which Batman Villian would you hench for?So, come with me if you want to live, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
We all love walking into our favourite pub. The friendly barman / woman pouring you a well-earned pint of your usual / small sherry, putting your favourite song on the jukebox, pig snacks in hand waiting for the wave machine to start. Bliss!This episode sees the boys discuss their dream pubs, Armie Hammer, and waving Chinese bears. The perfect trio.So, pour yourself a frosty one, settle in by the fire / karaoke machine, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
This episode takes us to the land of the Pharaohs, the Great Pyramids…The home of the Mummy! What is an Egypt? We'll find out.In other matters, Allen suffers a dirty great spider bite, but unfortunately is not imbued with the super-powers of a spider…although he did get stuck in the bath for three days. So, brush the sand out of your Valley of the Kings, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
As Dean and Pete say goodbye to their long time top band Kiss (for the second time), and Allen laments on the demise of The Arctic Monkeys, our thought take a darker turn. We hark back to those late nights, many years ago, when your parents let you stay up past your bedtime to watch the Fright Night double bill. Whether it was Christopher Lee's count that gave you the colly-wobbles, or Salem's Lot's Mr. Barlow that made you S you P's, Vampires have always topped the movie monster polls. We sift through some of our favorites in this blood curdling episode.So, lock your windows, grab your garlic and crucifix, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
Have ever had the feeling that you're not alone? That someone might be listening in to your conversations? Ever wondered how you only have to mention to someone that you might be thinking of buying a new pair of trainers, only to find your social media feeds flooded with ads for shiny new sneakers?Coincidence? Or could it be Alexa sitting over there…listening? As we grow ever more reliant on A.I and chatbots, are we ready for what's to come? This, and many more inane topics are broached with a shocking disregard for research and detail in this latest episode.So, all hail our robot overlords, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!
We all remember our first car. Whether it was a rusty old hand me down, or brand new straight of the garage forecourt, the bond with your first motor is one that you take to the grave. Unless you die in a fireball crash on the M6 motorway…then you can be forgiven if the relationship cools a little.As Queen's Roger Taylor once strangely sang…” I'm in love with my car”. But would he have loved it even more if he'd put rocket blasters and wings on it?

For some, school was an idyllic time, full of laughter, games and an enjoyable way to quench that never-ending thirst for knowledge. For others it was grim prison sentence, full of forgotten homework, painful wedgie's and an unparalleled awkwardness around girls.

As a controversial Pop megastar once asked…Who's bad?Some might answer “You Michael”, while other, blindly optimistic, people would look to the wide, wide world of TV and film for their answer.

The week we lost Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (Mam as in jam), the guys take time to reflect on what was, to some, a fittingly right Royal send off, but to others a huge waste of tax payers money in a time of financial crisis and uncertainty. Which camp are we pitching our tents?But it's not all crowns and coffins. We also talk about Dean's social media misunderstanding, movie remakes that should be made right now and the time Al mistakenly attended a swinger's party.

Whether you're a horror fiend, a thriller killer or an unashamed dirty Rom-Com whore there's a movie genre for everyone. But what if we can't have them all? As Netflix stumbles in the streaming site wars amid ever growing competition, rumours emerge of a genre cull. Is that something that the sofa-plex going public will tolerate?
