A nostalgic look back on the 1990s, we discuss one year over three episodes chronologically starting from 1990. Mainly based on pop culture of the time we will reminisce over our favourite parts and memories of this remarkable decade. If you want to join three guys talk about the 90s from their own perspective then pull up a chair and come on in.
For our last episode of 2024, we explore a Christmas film many are not familiar with, unless you live in the USA.A Christmas Story is a staple of an American Christmas, so much so, it gets looped for forty-eight hours on its own TV channel every year. Jason and Chris attempt to try and figure out why that is and whether it will resonate with the audiences from the rest of the world.We didn't do this alone, as we were kindly sent in some voicemails from American friends who shared their memories of the film and their thoughts on why this film hasn't resonated with people outside of the states.

Its time to get into the festive spirit here at The Wolfie Pod, and a miracle did happen when Jason remembered a listener requesting that we cover this TV film back in December 2023. This is very unusual for Jason, as he normally can't remember what happened yesterday, let alone a year ago; it truly is a Christmas miracle!! We invited Ben, the listener who requested this fine film and a former host of Retro Gaming Revival, to come on to the show to share his love for the film. We did have some technical issues, which meant that we had to record this conversation in quite an unauthadox fashion, and although the audio quality stands well, it meant we couldn't edit it to the standard that we would normally aim to hit. This means there are a few instances of talking over each other and a couple of other things that we couldn't remove. The quality is still high, but please just consider these instances as you listen.

With Rich and Steve out of action, Jason called up Jerden Cooke to fill the gap, and with him came a film choice that neither Jason nor Chris had heard of before. The Wizard of Speed and Time will be an unknown for many, but as we found out, it is a wonderful film for many reasons, which we get into in the episode.

For the first time, Chris takes up the hosting seat to discuss his choice, which is the monumental and incredibly influential film, Toy Story. With just Chris and Jason, this ends up being a cosy chat about the film, its cast and characters and the realisation of how many layers this film actually holds. One of the reasons Chris chose this film was as a small dedication to a friend who recently died of cancer in his mid-thirties. We dedicate this episode to them, and we send all our thoughts and best wishes to the family at this tough time.

Shaun of the Dead turns twenty, and what a perfect time to revisit this iconic, and some would say influential, film. A film that is close to many people's hearts, not just for its comedy or its references to George Romero's zombie films, but also because it brought the guys from Spaced, to the big screen and in such a fantastic fashion. We do touch on Spaced in the episode, as well as the usual plot, cast, favourite moments, and our scores, where will this one land on the board!

This episode comes with another slight change as we have decided to end Prepare to Fast Forward and roll new films into the main podcast. The newer films will follow the same format but will not be rated at the end, which is left exclusively for the older films.Of course, this means we go deep into the film, and this episode features many massive spoilers, so if you haven't seen the film yet, be cautious and maybe come back to this episode once you've seen the film.In the episode itself, we dive into the recent issues with Marvel and our anticipation for Deadpool and Wolverine, our thoughts on the movie, its cast, our favourite moments, and we try to figure out how Marvel will try to fit Deadpool into future films.Chapters [0:00] Intro & Trailer[2:02] General Thoughts[51:50] Cast, Characters & More Thoughts[1:13:07] Favourite Moments [1:31:28] The Future of Deadpool[1:44:23] OutroLinks Please take a moment to visit our Ko-Fi page.Please also check out our website, which is filled with articles, game reviews, a full-back catalogue of episodes, and much more!Click here for our DiscordFor all other links, please check our LinktreeMusic CreditsLFG (Theme from Deadpool & Wolverine) and Name for Myself are both taken from the official Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack.Copyright © – 20th Century StudiosCopyright © – MarvelPhonographic Copyright ℗ – Marvel Music, Inc.What's Wrong with Wolfie? theme music created by Jerden Cooke
This episode brings a slight format change, where each of us will now host the show in rotation and who hosts will pick the film or TV show we cover. Rich kicks this off with his choice, Battlefield Earth. It was a film that was panned by everyone when it was released, and it is still labelled as one of the worst films ever made. Did we agree?

It seems the cartoon and live-action film of The Flintstones seem to of been forgotten, but not by us, and its recent 30th anniversary was the excuse we needed for it to be our feature this week.

Hundreds of Beavers is an independent film where a cider farmer suddenly ends up in the snowy wilderness, and this is his tale of survival from the elements, the local wildlife, and falling in love. This truly is a unique film that takes its inspiration from old silent movies and Loony Tunes cartoons, with plenty of originality and totally shot in black and white. We break down our feelings on the film, its cast and characters, plus the last fifteen minutes is exclusively spoiler filled, so avoid if you would like to not have the film spoiled. __________________________________________________ Chapters 0:00 Intro 5:48 Hundreds of Beavers Trailer 6:57 The Film 25:48 Cast & Characters 53:05 Spoilers!!!! 1:09:10 Outro _________________________________________________ Links Please take a moment to visit our Ko-Fi page Please check out our website filled with articles, game reviews, a full-back catalogue of episodes, and much more!

For the first time this year, all four of us are together, and what a film to return with! The Matrix was not just a revelation for us, but it turned the world of films upside down, with its innovation and uniqueness that we still see to this day. With the film recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, it was the perfect time to give the film The Wolfie Pod treatment, including our favourite moments, thoughts on the cast, and much more!

Not only do we get into the development of Full Void, learning about its conception, the hurdles faced, and the Evercade release, but we also have a lovely discussion on Ali's early video game experience and how he learned to make games thanks to the Commodore 64, the BBC Micro, and, of course, the Amiga.

We welcome Seth Sturgill to the first podcast of the new year to discuss a film that comes around only so often. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is a special film for many reasons, which we go deep into in this very spoiler-heavy discussion, and we go as far as to say its faultless. A bold statement, but one that really holds true to this particular film. We unfortunately kick off 2024 with some audio issues, with Jason having the wrong microphone selected in the recording software. We ran this through Adobe AI, and the results are remarkable. Its not perfect, but its a 100% improvement over the original audio. I'd just like to state here that I was happy to use AI in this situation, but we are definitely not behind AI replacing real people, and that should never be the case. But please check out Seth's podcasts; they are a wonderful listen, so if you are looking for a new Nintendo podcast or just want to add another to your playlist, then you can find them at the following handy links: Big thanks to Seth for joining us; hopefully this will not be the last we hear of him.

Jason was left in the lurch this week with no Rich, Chris, or Steve as we kick off the festive season with our first of two Christmas specials with a deep dive into Tim Allen's The Santa Clause. Jason, knowing a one-man podcast would be a disaster, knew that he had to go searching for some talent to talk with, and he was over the moon when All N Eric from the ALL N: A Nintendo Podcast came riding in on his imaginary reindeer to save the day! Eric was a delight to have on the show, and if you are looking for a new Nintendo podcast, then look no further. Find links to his show HERE and find Eric on Twitter HERE The guys from the Channel 84 Variety Show podcast made an impromptu visit too, to share their thoughts on the film. Make sure to bring some mince pies next time, lads!

For our last episode of the year, we wanted to shine the light on some of our favourite films, TV shows, and video games from 2023. This meant we crammed so much into this that we had to bin a whole other segment we planned to do, but we still managed to have a hearty chat about a tonne of great stuff. Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse, The Creator, Mission Impossible, Our Flag Means Death, Picard S3, Succession, Barbie, Sea of Stars, Dead Space Remake, and much more are covered.

We try out something slightly new for us as we pit two films against each other through five categories. Plot, cast, writing, action and our verdict scores will help in deciding which of these films is the better one. How do we decide? Well, by each of us giving a point to the film we think did the better job in each of those categories. It was a rocky road getting to the end of this though as we were plagued by many challenges throughout the recording. You may notice a dip in audio quality as the software we used did not record the entirety in the separate tracks. This meant that we had to use the mixed single track and this resulted in a lower quality. But please don't let that put you off, as you will still be able to hear us well, we just couldn't remove some background noise and some very small sections of echo. We apologise for this and we will be back using our regular service next time. ♪ Music Clips ♫ Taken from the Anaconda Soundtrack by Randy Edelman Anaconda Main Theme The Totems Sacred Ground Taken From the Lake Placid Soundtrack by John Ottman Lake Placid Main Theme Reluctant Passengers ★ Podcast Links ★ Please check out our WEBSITE filled with articles, game reviews, full back catalogue of episodes and much more!

Digitiser, the teletext video game magazine recently celebrated its 30th anniversary in Lonodn and Jason & Rich were there to join in with all the shenanigans that were happening. Here we look back at the event and the two live shows plus our appearance on stage at the Chunky Fringe event which was being run alongside Digitiser Live.
