Hello and welcome to SMERSHPOD, I'm your host John Rain. This time for another of our extra special compilation episodes where we've taken the very best parts of SMERSHes gone by, edited them together, realised it's only 3 minutes long, and then sifted through the bin to see how we can bulk out the running time. Today we're opening up the 2023 SMERSH vault. Over the next 45 minutes you'll be hearing from galaxies far, far away, heroes from long, long ago, and another set of adjectives to be inserted here in the final script, must check that before recording.

This week we'll be hanging out with a young burglar, an old spy, a angry fugitive, a fat delinquent, a blind hippy hacker, and a milfy piano teacher... and guessing which one of them dies first. The result will shock you.Yes, it's Sneakers.My name is John Rain, and joining me to watch with Mother, a film that could now literally just be an email, is Richard Asplin.  Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/smershpod.

Britcom Goes to the Movies is back! We begin our third, yes, THIRD series with an absolute classic of the genre... of sorts. On The Buses was one of the most popular British sitcoms ever made, so midway through its run, Hammer decided to take it to the big screen, the first of many such ventures for the studio, and it paid off, literally! With box office numbers, a Marvel movie would kill for in 1971.   But On The Buses the Movie has become a byword for terrible sitcom to movie spin-offs, by which all subsequent examples would be judged. You could say we have this movie to blame for the short shrift and general disdain a lot of British comedies get critically. Without this film, we'd probably have no podcast.    It's reputation therefore preceded it, and Rob and Guy were in no hurry to cover it, but once writer, funnyman, host of SMERSH Pod, and all-round On The Buses apologist John Rain expressed an interest in joining us to discuss the film, how could we say no?   So join Guy, Rob, and John on an odyssey of crass jokes, old men playing 30-year-old lotharios, the world's first ATM, pencil-moustached knicker-snatchers, and rolling left to right pecking. Finally, it's time for On The Buses.   On the Buses – First Colour Episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFV3aAMPTgg&list=PLgD5-qNnzSa5nAynMx58UWJsetOvWgyfk&index=2   On The Buses – The Cistern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ghggVZOs4   On The Buses – Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRmkh8tMB9k   On The Buses – Skid Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvV8jjvI42o   On The Buses cast on Wogan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fVCJ0_0HE   Reg Varney uses world's first ATM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9mwgKMrZ1U

John Rain & Paul Litchfield join Tyler to discuss Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's 1978 adaptation of the classic Sherlock Holmes story, an attempt to make a hit mainstream comedy but which failed to find an audience. Mostly owing to it not being very good. Directed by American Paul Morrissey this was the first major film project he made without the involvement of Andy Warhol. Rather bizarrely Morrissey was a fan of the Carry On films and he was keen to bring that sort of humour to the screen, enlisting Kenneth Williams to play Sir Henry Baskerville and stuffing it full of familiar faces from the world of British comedy. The result was a bit of a mess, with indoor fog and urinating dogs small compensation for proper belly laughs but there is still plenty to talk about and some titters among the dross. It's not a complete dog of a film. And why are we covering it on Goon Pod? Why, for the small scene-stealing cameo from Spike Milligan as a policeman. Enjoy! Many thanks to the wonderful Jonathan Roberts for this episode's artwork! There's also a taster of August's edition of Goon Pod Film Club, in which Tim Worthington talks Billy Liar!

The team discusses the upcoming Gambler's campaign from Baltic Dragon and John "Rain" Waters. The campaign specifically focuses on the experiences of Rain, a former F-16 pilot, during his time in Syria. The campaign is based on real-life events and includes missions that replicate the challenges faced by pilots in the region.The campaign consists of 13 full missions, an intermission, and features new gameplay mechanics. The conversation also touches on the differences in operating in Syria compared to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the challenges of replicating real-world scenarios in a simulation game. The conversation covers various topics related to the DCS F-16C Viper campaign, including the challenges of coordinating airstrikes, the realism of combat simulations, the excitement of flying different aircraft, and the potential for creating DCS content. The hosts also discuss the immersive experience of virtual reality (VR) and the ability of the campaign to capture a piece of history. They touch on the Afterburn podcast and its goal of sharing inspiring stories. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just when you weren't expecting it… BAM… More Winkie news! It's been a few years since our epic documentary “Ep 181: Winkie: The Untold Story” and we were recently informed of not one, but TWO developments to what we already know! Thanks to the incredible work of Ivenne, and the translations skills of Markus Lindstrom, we have something a little special this week. There's a recently discovered video on YouTube (see the video on the accompanying webpage for this episode) that contains footage from a French TV series, recorded in 1985, that shows the infamous Winkie billboard competition in action. However, with it being in French, Paul has had a clever idea… and it's going to involve calling on some of the CheapShow family to help out! And yet there is even more new Winkie news than that! To top things off, Eli has more platters to share, one of which may be the rarest record they've ever discovered. But just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's going to be any good. It's a surprisingly packed episode, it even comes with a Singing Postman!

Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Sidepod! In this episode, Paul is joined by fan-of-Burt-Reynolds and podcaster (in that order?), John Rain. You can find info about John's fantastic James Bond and Michael Caine podcast, SMERSHPOD through the Twitter page and keep an eye open for John's new podcast, All Rather Mysterious, which aims to solve the mysteries of the past, in the presence of comedians Eleanor Morton and David Reed. John and Paul got together to chat through the 1972 film version of Ed McBain's 1968 book, Fuzz (find that podcast using this link!) which finds the 87th Precinct now mysteriously in the real world, in Boston and features Burt Reynolds as Steve Carella, Raquel Welch as Eileen McHenry (think Eileen Burke, eight-seven fans!), Tom Skerritt as Bert Kling and many more of the squad - not to mention Yul Brynner as The Deaf Man. We contemplate why the film never got a sequel, harassment in the workplace, whether McBain wrote mucky books and whether Dom DeLuise should have been in the film. Warning: Contains a couple of rude bits (the podcast, not the film).  The film was adapted by Evan Hunter himself and was directed by Richard A. Colla (Battlestar Galactica, Ironside). If you've seen the film, let us know what you think at our Twitter or FB page and if you fancy dropping us the price of a digital coffee, pop to KOFI and drop some coins in the jar. Anything we get will go back into the podcast.

One of the films I've been looking forward to most - I was joined by fellow Superman enthuasiast John Rain to discuss a troubled movie, far different from the original vision, but captivated us nonetheless. I may yet visit the first film... This episode focuses mainly on the theatrical version, but with plenty of mentions for the Richard Donner cut, particularly the lost Marlon Brando scenes. John is the host of the magnificent SMERSH Pod, all about James Bond. His pod can be found here, and on Twitter here.   Superman will return in Superman III...

If you're ready for a thrill ride, tune in on Thursday, August 13th at 6pm EST! My guest is none other than Bestselling Author, Andrew Peterson. If you're a fan of Jack Reacher, Jason Borne and John Rain, my guest has the perfect man for you. His series centers on a former Marine sniper and CIA operative, Nathan McBride. He's retired, but definitely not out of the game. Andrew Peterson's first novel, First to Kill, exploded onto the scene in 2008. The debut novel launched the very popular Nathan McBride series that continues to delight readers. In fact, he just released the 5th book in the nonstop, adrenaline-charged series, Contract to Kill. Book Blurb: When Toby Haynes witnesses a double murder—and suspects his boss, Tanner Mason, as the perpetrator of the crime—he does the only thing he can think of: he calls in Nathan McBride. CIA special ops veteran McBride and his partner, Harvey Fontana, respond to their friend's plea. As they launch a covert investigation into Mason, the security chief for one of the nation's leading private military contractors, they discover that not everything is as it appears. Mason and his inner circle are leading a top-secret operation to tackle a wave of crime plaguing the US-Mexican border, and the murder may have been part of their complicated strategy—or part of a more menacing agenda. Soon McBride and Fontana find themselves engaged in a deadly game. With a powerful politician behind it all, stopping Mason could mean joining a secret war—with truly global stakes.
