This episode we're talking about the first Omen, but not The First Omen.

This week we are talking about the two hottest creepy crawly flicks of 2024: The Beekeeper and Madame Web.

Folks, it's probably fair to say that nobody has been clamouring for an unpacking of the first three Insidious movies, including comparisons with turn-of-the-millennium Australian techno-thriller The Bank and yet that is precisely what you are listening to. It's a funny old world.

We have a chat about that hot cinema property Mission Impossible 2 - as well as another impossible mission, successfully holding the Commonwealth Games.

Gather Around Me is back with our hot takes on the Academy Awards, Mark Latham, etc.

A very special episode for Ep 400! Not really! Cam reads Ben some terrible stuff. At one point he says it's Friday afternoon, but actually this was recorded on a Monday. Says it all.

Hi there folks, welcome to another edition of GAM with ya pals Ben & Cam. This would be Episode 383 but we realised we never did an Episode 364 and we don't want to have to do a heap of contractually-obligated extras once we get to Ep 1000. We talk about lots of up-to-the-minute current affairs and then have TWO confessions: a spooky one and a saucy one.

Folks, it is ya pals Ben Pobjie & Cam Smith discussing a series of problematic topics: war criminal bath-artists, ambitious 1930s sci-fi, sociopathic nephews and THE DEVIL (or at least a minor demon).

Hi folks, Ben & Cam went to see Chapter 2 of the Stephen King's IT series of films at the cinema and they have some thoughts. Settle in for more of a David & Margaret affair rather than a blow-by-blow recap. Cam is Margaret obviously as he once also put on an illegal screening of the highly dodgy film Ken Park.
