Weekly comedy and pop culture podcast and YouTube show, hosted by Arron Dennis and Andy Welch. Head over to youtube.com/smorgaspod now and get even more content!
Welcome to the SmorgasPod Moviedrome, where we go see movies so you don't have to! But, SHOULD you? Well, Andy has (unsurprisingly) seen Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Arron has been to see The Flash, so we spoil the ever living fudge out of them for each other, and you at home! ROLL FILM!!
Long time pal and 3rd Wogey Keith joins us this week, as we get too hot and tired, wonder about what genre of movie might replace Superheroes next, and one of us is writing a book! All this, and Kennedy Fried Chicken!
Right. You've all had ample chance to see Guardians 3 now. Can we talk about it without getting too emotional? Or rather, can we talk about it without getting hopelessly sidetracked, or gatecrashed by a toddler? ... Guess not! It's SmorgasPod time!
It's-a billion dollar blockbuster! Wa-HOO! Join us this week to discuss how a pair of plumbers from Brooklyn have made more glad coins than they ever Nintended! And wonder if an entire NCU is in the -ahem- PIPELINE. Welcome to MarioPod!
Get your underoos on over your pantaloons folks! Because the big blue boy scout is back! Except.. he's unofficial. So let's have a chat about a certain fan film, versus the awkward turtle that is a couple of official releases of late, as well as wondering if D&D The Movie has rolled a Nat 20, or fumbled with a 1! (Nerd speak for "is it a bit crap?") All on the latest SmorgasPod!
We are cominatcha live and direct, from the BotCave! Well, live at the time of recording. Is anything really ever live? When you see it it's already happened, in another place and time. But isn't time all happening all at once, we just experience it in a linear fashion? Anyway, here's a podcast!
Maniac Overthrown: Defeat Of Kang? Marvel Oversaturation, Disney On Kourse! Micronauts Out, Downside Of Kopyright.. Morons, Only Discussing Obtuse Kontent! ... It's time for Quantumaniacs!
Arron is tired, Andy is wired, so we're in for a tangential pod this week! Hopefully we get to discuss the Tetris Movie, the Flash trailer, the Tetris Movie, the (spoiler free) feedback from Quantumania, the Tetris Movie, the problem with the apocalypse, the Tetris Movie, the future of Transform & Tell, and the Tetris Movie! But only if we can FOCUS. Did we mention they've made a Tetris Movie?
No, we're not getting monetised (we wish!) But we do have a bit of a look at the latest commercial from director Edgar Wright! We also discuss (spoiler free) The Last Of Us TV series, and Andy waxes lyrical on a fantasy game series crossover that languishes in his head! Stay fresh, cheesebags!
The boys are back in town! The same town, in fact, as the Two Stooges bring you the first pod of 2023 from a shared zip code! We talk monochrome comedy (monochromedy?) from our youth, look back at why pre-MCU Marvel being separated was no bad thing, and also look forward to 2023 & beyond seeing what a mess Kang will make of the multiverse!
Ch-ch-ch-changes! Things are afoot, and the future of the SmorgasPod hangs in the balance! Only Kevin Bacon can save us! Well, not really, but we are taking an Xmas break for exciting reasons contained within this very episode! Also: Die Hard decorations, losing a Power Ranger, and Arron buys movie tickets and takes the p*ss!
Bo Selecta, SmorgasPod fans! This week we're joining the Bring It On Cinematic Universe, and looking back fondly (and less fondly) at the comedy DNA of sitcoms and their attitudes in years past. Plus Arron has a tech moan from his curséd abode, and we get the cutest hijack ever!
This week we take a close look at modernised Spandex, wonder about the tones of the DCEU, MCU, and MCNFXU or whatever Netflix was, and get casually racist (or DO we?!) whilst touching cloth reacting to Mario's overalls, movie trailer, and Chris Pratt impression!
Get your brown pants ready, because the MCU is about to get some Adamantium! Weapon Exes, Wilson and Logan, are going to face off, and all we can do is champ at the bit, for a bit! In the meantime, we pray for justice for a green Attorney at Law, and get hyped for a very late blue sequel in space! We see you.
We are Tik'd off with Toknichal difficulties this week, as we ponder an alternative to the daily grind (Arron's setting up his Onlyfans as we speak!), Andy puts the "war" in "wardrobe" with a flat packed crapheap challenge, and Arron is in Low Spirits thinking it's time to quit haunting Hell House! Buckle up, buttercup, cos it's about to get middle-aged on your heinies!
This week we escape to the cinema for Jaws and ET (the French for "and?") this week, as well as escape to Middle Earth with the Rings of Power - and if you have troubles with your One Ring, wait til you see your disappointed Peeyore! Yes, we said it. Thanks for noticing us.
This week.. or month.. OK, this EPISODE, we try to stop apologising for our erratic schedule long enough to talk about how TIRED we are.. Literally, but also figuratively, since Marvel can't stop with the levity and DC can't stop with the grimdark, and the MTVU can't seem to settle on an episode length! We're Mighty Thor about it, and a bit Green about Disney's "muscle censors" too!
The SDCC has rolled around again (no, not THAT one, people of Detroit!), and Marvel have laid enough slate to put the roofing association to shame! So grab a glass of Tangentirine juice, as we look forward to the most imminent projects, featuring a big green lawyer, and a new Black Panther - plus sidebars from DC's Shazam Fam, and Arron's own movie stardom!
Arron's having THOSE school nightmares this week; perhaps it's because of the scarier tone of Stranger Things this season, or maybe because he's caught in a Dark Rift getting ready to play a role in the upcoming scare fest from the Book Of Monsters studio!
We're hating on unskippable ads and sipping Celebeverages this week, as well as discussing why certain movie franchises never quite stick the landing, and picking some of our favourite Disneys! Once Arron finishes his cheesecake and gets a restraining order on his cat, that is..
Let us take your breath away, as your two Maverick podcasters switch to Cruise control and take the low way to the danger zone, get Inquisitive as the Sith hits the fan, and Leia few spoilers on you as we discuss Obi-Wan, Obi-Two, and Obi-Three! You Organa love it as much as you're Hayden these puns!
Welcome, dear friends, to a lovely catch-up with friend of the SmorgasPod, Alex! As we try and deftly avoid spoilers for Dr Strange (though one or two inevitably creep in), juggle kids, and definitely not remake Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
From hidden helmet noises, to chickens going tweet, we have the kind of Virtual Insanity you just can't beat! And like prosthetic heads or Death on the Nile, like a hot teacher with butt implants, we're always in style!
A new SmorgasPod? Right here for your very ears? Good heavens! The boys are back and plans are afoot to eat the media world alive! So to that end, we will be relentlessly slapping each other's back, and chatting the usual nonsense! It's enough to make you Twitch!
Chim-chim cheroo, the SmorgasPod is back, with a pangential tandemic of titanic proportions! Who's the secret society running the world? What is Sean Bean doing on that train? When is it appropriate to stalk your ex whilst dressed as an old woman? And why is that magic nanny coughing blood? The answers may surprise you!
It's a bite size bit of boredom busting this week, as we try our best to pay tribute to the late Ivan Reitman, speculate on Tarantino's final movie, struggle to recall Captain Marvel, and smile through the tougher bits of parenting. All this, plus mentholated testicles!
What Up, it's yer bois Arron and Andy (as they say on the OoToobz), and it's time to sign your NDA, homies! We get into some of the folks we like to watch and listen to, as Arron's new job has put him in touch with a fellow 'caster with an impressive resumé, and Andy has been enjoying one of our friends terrifying his missus!
Spidery Spoilers and Matricular Revulsions abound this week, as we drag the SmorgasPod into 2022 (where'd the last two years go anyway?) and check out No Way Home, a movie with more swingers than the Austin Powers Trilogy, while Arron gives us his true skinny on Resurrecting the Matrix!
Do you believe in UFOs, Astral Projections, Mental Telepathy, ESP, Clairvoyance, Spirit Photography, Telekinetic Movement, Full-trance Mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis? Then do we have a "Podcast" for you! ⚠️ CAUTION - SPOOKY SPOILERS ⚠️
Do you believe in the Afterlife? Arron has seen it for himself! So we unfurl our Star-Spenglered banners with a spoiler free review of the latest Ghostbusters! Andy, meanwhile, is annoyed at the future of streaming TV and Star Trek, and also drops his pitch for Austin Powers 3! Yeah, baby!
Andy's been to see Marvel's Eternals, but is it a gift from the Gods, or does it myth the mark? Minor spoiler talk ensues! Arron has beef with a movie reviewer, we look forward to the new Matrix and Ghostbusters, engage in dad chat, social expectations, and bloody Instagram motivationals!
We look forward to infinity, and beyond, this week with the Lightyear trailer, and get near the knuckle with Chuck Steele! Plus, the musical event of the century, as we open on Broadway with the Apple Story! *SmorgasPod Ver 72.0 necessary to access this content.
We are Licensed to Spill this week, as Arron has the tea on Bond's final outing which is finally out, Andy's hyped for a Raccoon RE:boot with the tasty (and itchy) new Resident Evil trailer, plus we say "wotcha" to the Watcher one last time to wrap up What If?, and get spoiled symbiotically with a leak from Venom. SPOILER WARNINGS!
The SmorgasPod, as years totaled five! Arron, his fitness improving. Andy, his Facebook blank. The commissioner, his advice shameful. Count Von Count, your paces numbered. Seinfeld, his comedy situationless. Ted Lasso, his show exclusive. Shaka, when the walls fell! DiCaprio, his glass raised.
Put on your Gamer Glasses, folks! Cos Arron and Andy have both seen Free Guy, so we have a slightly spoilery delve into the movie, its themes, and our opinions! Also: can you escape a room with Arron and his Mucus Totem? How many beds combine to form Captain Planet? Who the hell are the guest stars on the Muppet Show? All this, and Zombloga-chips!
Welcome back! It's been a hot minute since we got together last, so here's a bumper sized SmorgasPod for you! We are all ready to jack back in to the Matrix.. but did we ever escape it? We discuss the new trailers for both the Matrix and Spidey upcoming sequels, and roll up our newspaper (remember those) to swat a Black Widow! Join us!
What If Arron and Andy behaved like Dadults? What If Scary Movie hadn't spawned a whole parody genre? What If The Mask had had a good sequel? What If someone from the Fjords cleaned your windshield with their soapy buttocks? All this, plus spoiler-free chat on that new Marvel show.. er.. whatever it's called.
We're gonna venture into the Spoiler Zone of Eternia a bit this episode, so if you're culturally undernourished in that area, go get Grayskulled before listening! Arron has been listening too, to a podcast from Orko himself! No, we're not Trollan' you there! So welcome to the Wheelhouse of Weird (next door to Threshers), only £19.99 on top of your regular SmorgasPod subscription!
Greetings, download ninjas! It's time to break your Power Sword, toss your Nunchucks on the fire escape, and defend your food van from hostile aliens, as we talk tubular with the Turtles, and wonder about the varied quality of their original movie outings. Also: Silent Bob's He-man! Janine Melnitz' grandkid! Andy's Spanish oral! Zero spoilers!
Prepare your tradesman's entrance for a nexus event, as we SmorgasPod our way into tangents -sorry- "branches" whilst wending our way to a mildly spoilery (and possibly selfcestuous) Loki-pokey, via some working Monsters, Bigfoot Vs Predator, an invisible dinosaur, and a bike-based butt-breaking! OOF.
Arron's been to the cinema, so find yourself a Quiet Place to listen to this, otherwise the centipede with the kung-fu grip will get ya! We delve into alternate universes and start a Blunty Brawl with Agent Emily, Go a bit Dr Who with an enchanting lady Loki, compare a pair of Turtle-loving O'Neills, and take in an adult show with Lieutenant Bob! Don't say we didn't warn you.. (Also, Andy's audio was a little quiet, so there is some hiss due to audio post-processing)
With Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe sequel series imminent, we chat about those two sword-swinging-siblings, He-Man and She-Ra, and their various cartoon incarnations and villainous antagonists, Arron goes for a swim, Andy takes a trip to Kernazzer-Boroo, and we deal with the devil twice - Goldblum and Loki!
It's time to yeet all your boujee guccis, and get down and dirty with the creepy crawlies, as we dive into the ball-pit of takeaway reviews, reminisce on slight ripples with a flat underside, crank up the Inception Noise with Ant and Dec, and get mischievous with our glorious porpoise, Loki! By Grabthar's hammer!
Look, we are too hot, too tired, and nothing exciting has happened, so bear with us as we just.. kinda have a catch up! From medical appointments, to getting the repo men in, from adult chat lines, to retro game software.. this one has it all!* * Disclaimer: may not have it all.
It's a labour of love this week! Andy makes the big push into fatherhood, so he's no longer the placenta of attention! You'll see-sections of his week you won't be expecting! Arron is on hand to share his Dadsplaining too, so there's plenty of womb to listen in! Oh, baby!
No full length episode this week, because the SmorgasPod family just got a little bigger! We'll be back with a longer episode later this week!
HeY gUyS! It'S tHe WaTcHmOjO vOiCe, HeRe WiTh A LiSt Of tHe ToP 7 sMoRgAsPoDs.. AAAARGH!! Guess what we have a bit of a rant about this week? Also, remember when Gwen Stefani? Do you Howard the Duck? Why was Mortal Kombat? Can Arron statistics? All this, plus we try on a black Cap!
It's a shaggy dog story this week, as schoolboys become weredogs, dinosaurs get armored, and kaiju caterpillar cakes do battle! But does Zordon run on Flash?! Arron starts his fitness journey again while Andy's immune system has had some heavy homework, ahead of imminent daddyhood! Also: when is a Special Edition TOO special?
Ever seen an expectant mother get Billy Connolly Syndrome, or spontaneously morph into a glitched-out Agent Smith? Ever wondered about Mafioso cats? Or played the fun party game Bolognese or Poop? Then come to the Lower Decks as we uncover these and other mysteries, plus the unveiling of the SmorgasPod OnlyFans!
Hold on to your Mother's Boxes (ew, not like that), and your Auntie's Life Equation, cos it's time for Andy to give the skinny on the decidedly un-skinny mass that is The Snyder Cut! Spoilers abound. Well, a bit. We also recall the Sucker Punch that was 'going clubbing' and then Carrey On to the usual nonsense, before we re-release this episode in monochrome, with an alternate scene! Just your average SmorgasPod, then.
