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!

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!

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!

Andy's back with us from the Smorgaspod for more Transformers UK goodness, with the end of Skids' story from the US, and the Dinobot Eighties action movie awesomeness that is "In the National Interest"!

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!

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?

Andy from the Smorgaspod is back with us, and you know what that means - it's Transformers time again! What delights do Marvel UK have in store for us from 36 years hence?

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!

Happy New Year! Let's start as we mean to go on, with some more amazing retro content!

We're nearly at the end of the second year of Marvel UK Transformers comics, and things are hotting up with the Creation Matrix story! Will Buster be able to figure out what to do with what's in his head? And will Prime be able to stop Shockwave being able to create a new line of Decepticon warriors?

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Marvel UK's Transformers first Christmas was not a very Christmassy affair, as they seemed to have a lot of US Transformers material to get through - you'd think that maybe they could have sacrificed the Machine Man comics, though. Oh well. Join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself as we go through the UK's premier transforming robots comic of the 80s!

Festive greetings, fellow humans! Curated here for your amusement and bemusement are the many skits, songs and sillies from your favourite pod! Come inside, and know us better, man!

December looms! Will you be sent to Whamhalla? Is "Last Christmas" even a Christmas song? Arron and Andy try and save you from the dangers of the Middle Aisle, whilst discussing the dangers of burgling the house of an underaged psycho, wondering where Event Videos went for songs, and preparing you a Big Breakfast!

It's time to go back 36 years to October 1984 and catch up on the two issues of the Transformers comic by Marvel UK that came out then!

It's the week after TFNation, and to stave off those post-con blues, Andy from the Smorgaspod joins us to talk about one of our favourite Transformers eras here at BTTE - the 1987 "Masters" era! Be they Targets or Heads, the Masters get a good airing this week! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

We love scotch, scotchy scotchy scotch, on the SmorgasPod.. we also love cats, and dogs.. but which is best? We relate some emotional cat tales, imagine an all-dog remake of Frasier, get some much needed pussy closure from a previous pod, and both our missusses get a new hairdo! All this before bedtime!

Andy from the Smorgaspod is back with us to talk about 80's and 90's video games, including what microcomputers and consoles we had as kids growing up!  It's all Sega vs Nintendo, Atari vs the ZX Spectrum, tape players, disks and carts, oh my! To be this good really does take ages. Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Everything is twenty years old today! Or it seems to be, as we slide into discussion on slippery sex, multiversal madness, angry Andy's accidental avalanche, Dread Dormammu diction, cowled Keaton comebacks, and cartoons of questionable colour! All on your Super Saturday Slice of SmorgasPod!

Let's delve into the SmorgasPod archives, and dust off some of the original wigs used in the first Three Wogies sketch in 1952! Well, not really, but we will discuss movie props, and their rise from zero to collectable hero.. And speaking of heroes, Andy's looking forward to the newly unveiled PS5, with the excellent looking Miles Morales Spidey game seemingly a launch title! Plus: Uncanny Valley CG people! Or, are they?!

It's the 2nd Century of SmorgasPod! With us to celebrate is 3rd Stooge Keith, who brings his hairy face and boyish charm to entertainment gold such as: A nerd quiz shamelessly stolen from online! The clever art of miniatures and bigatures! Naked directors! And when and why a TV show overstays its welcome, and how it can be avoided! Join us for all this and THAT fragrance..

Andy from The Smorgaspod joins us again, and this time he's here to talk about those Knights of the Magical Light - 1987's Visionaries! From the toys, to the cartoons, to the short-lived comic and all the way back to today - should Hasbro take a risk on them again, especially as their eBay prices suggest there's a demand for them? Or has their time in the light passed? Please, join us to find out what we think! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Can your car make point five past lightspeed? If not, we Musk tell you about this, plus stupid baby names, street parties both socially distant and socially irresponsible, the flavour of pickles, and when bots and algorithms need context! All on today's SmorgasPod!

Bonjour, mes petits amis, et bienvenue a SmorgasPod! Zis week, your littel chums Arron et Andi are chatting about ze theme tunes of les animés European! How is it that it is that this leads to les jumpings off les cliffes, and ze Jacques Cousteau commentary on les bleu movies? Listenez-vous et findez out!

Andy from the Smorgaspod is back once again, and this time we're chatting all about GI Joe! Or Action Force, as we would have known it in the UK up until 1990. We talk about it's early beginnings as an offshoot of the Action Man line, all through the various Hasbro influenced changes, the comics, the cartoons, and beyond! Please join us, or Baron Ironblood might get you! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

28 Days Later (than we had planned), we're back with a brand new SmorgasPod, to keep the lockdown blues away! So sanitise your headphones, and hop in to the isolation station, as we test drive the new remote SmorgasTech!

Will & Grace! SNL & Kate McKinnon! Schwarzenegger & R.E.M! Miles & Zombies! These perfect pairings and more, in your latest SmorgasPod!

Arron has an ouchie! But he will need to hit the gym if he wants to be fighting fit for three upcoming Keanu blockbusters! Andy, the lazy video game nerd, only exercises his thumbs.. but why is it so hard to make movies based on the games he likes? All this and more, on today's SmorgasPod!

It's our first episode proper of 2020, and we start off with a movie that wasn't out in the Eighties, but it certainly shaped the decade to come. We called it Star Wars, but now it's Episode IV: A New Hope! So please join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself, as we try to explain just why this (and the Star Wars franchise as a whole) was so important to us when we were growing up.

It's very nearly 2020, and our last episode of 2019 concerns a movie that sits nicely in Chlimbo, as it's set over Christmas AND New Years! Yes folks, it's Ghostbusters 2, that much maligned 1989 sequel to 1984's Ghosbusters. Joining me to talk all about it, from the Smorgaspod, it's our old friend Andy! Happy New Year to all our listeners, and we'll see you all in 2020! Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

It's 3 years this week since SmorgasPod graced iTunes for the first time, and we celebrate by immediately flying off on a tangent, before crashing headlong into celebrity deaths, and when it's too soon to poke fun.. turns out 30 years is still too soon!

As a Guy Ritchie trailer has a lot of front, and Downey's Doolittle trailer takes its first punt, this SmorgasPod gives expletives a shunt, but be warned, there's a lot of usage of the word -REDACTED-

SmorgasPod asks the important questions this episode, such as: Who was best: Morticia or Elvira? Which Cheers cast members are actually the living dead? And why isn't there an app to bring you pre-read jazz mags from railway sidings?!

It's Spidey Friday on SmorgasPod, and we THWIPP spoilers right from the wrist, starting with the mid and post-credit Spidey stings! And we discuss the distinctive look and feel of Mysterio's powers. Or DO we?! Are you even listening to the pod? You think that's air you're breathing now? Oh, wait-

Mr Keith Nickson makes a triumphant return as guest on this week's uncut SmorgasPod, as we have an old-fashioned full-length chat instead of two ickle ones! (We could have pretended to have two short episodes, but we know you're not daft. WE, however? As daft as they come!)

The SmorgasPod boys have been to see Pixar's latest outing for Buzz, Woody and friends, so we give it a good old spoileriffic going over this episode! Did we need another Toy Story? Spoiler: turns out, we did!
