To mark the 5th anniversary of the release of the pilot episode one for this show, we're taking you to where it all began...our host Ally Pitts's podcasting debut! Classic Schmassic was an amazing comedy podcast about movies from before 1980. For this episode, Ally joined hosts Chris Mead & Owen Choules to discuss Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin and whether it lives up to its reputation. You can find more about Chris and his work as an improv performer and teacher at chrismead.co. Owen has been a guest on shows including As If: A Minute-by-Minute Clueless podcast and the Four Weddings and a Funeral episode of the brilliant Falling in Love Montage.

Join Slidewhistle, Aaron, and Immunization as they talk about this week in World of Warcraft! This week, the boys consume a little too much alcohol and get SPICY. We skim the surface on the 8.2.5 patch notes blizzard released, rave about Junie B. Jones, riff a bit on the encroaching BlizzCon, and do the usual bits where we love a sexiest npc and play some GAMES! A little light on WoW Classic this week (a little light? it was hella light) but I'm hoping to hop in there soon and get my toons leveled up!

As the title suggests, this is the first one of these. The plan is that an episode will be going out every fortnight. This episode's film is Stalker, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It stars Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Anatoliy Solonitsyn, and Nikolay Grinko. The first ten minutes or so of the podcast are non-spoilery but from then on EXPECT SPOILERS. My guest is the most excellent Lyn Setchell. Many thanks to Owen Choules and Chris Mead of Classic Schmassic for their inspiration (and let's face it, essentially their format).

On this episode, the gang grabs Owen from Classic Schmassic to Phil in. What did he bring for them to enjoy? Ugh. Teen Titans – The Judas Contract (film) In this episode, we watched the new Teen Titans animated film with Owen. He was so excited to guest on the show, that he slept through […]

Hi Sqooters! John here! With only hours to spare I'm here to post the #Trypod special. Here's a chance for you to share the Comrade Radio podcasts with non-podcast listening buddies, and a chance for you to check out what's up with the other Comrade Radio shows.

So we've carefully put together our favorite clips from our shows to craft the perfect taste test of what we do on a regular basis. So whether you haven't tried all the network shows, or even a podcast in general, these clips are a great starting place. Don't forget, for the rest of the month, share us on social media with the hashtag #trypod, and use good old fashioned word of mouth to get people into podcasts!

It's a Square Roots Christmas as Matthew decides that we're not doing the whole RPG thing any more and says bah, humbug! You'll never guess what happens next. Okay. You'll probably guess. But that's okay. Sometimes there's comfort in predictability. The milk man, the paperboy, evening TV. How did I get delivered here? Someone tell me, please. This ol' world's confusing me. Do you think the Family Matters theme and the Full House theme kind of sounded the same? Special thanks to Owen Choules of Classic Schmassic for his wonderful narration.

This time on a very special episode of Square Roots we combine with Owen Choules from Classic Schmassic, Voltron-style, to form a super cool robot called Classic Roots! Its mission: to look at the feature film created as a prequel for the release of Final Fantasy XV, called Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. We have so many questions, and even more inappropriate nicknames for the only slightly overweight Libertus. Questions like: Who are these people? Is this set before or during Final Fantasy XV? Where are all the chocobos? Why does that one guy have a super long sleeve? And why does he look like Tom Baker? Can this movie have only one female character at a time? Are giant statues smashing up a city cool? Judge for yourself, rent the movie, and then let us know what you think as we all prep for the release of Final Fantasy XV!

In a bonus episode, MJ sits down with Owen from the podcast Classic Schmassic to talk about podcasting, classic cinema, and bringing the social aspect back to the theater going experience! As always, Logo by Josh Granat!
