Podcasts about Wikishuffle

Once again the crew are scattered to the winds, so we raid the archives for premium stupidity. Behold the worlds most disappointing McDonalds, and uncover the mysterious of bird f*** island!

After a long delay, the Wikishuffle crew is back to normally scheduled broadcasting. Expect us every second week with our spin off show Goodnight Sweetcast filling in the gaps. This week we examine the correlation between the attractiveness of shoppers and their supermarket of choice, in a completely fair and not at all unreasonable segment we call 'Peeking in a Farmfoods'. We also learn that Phil holds himself in the top tier of Supermarket Naturists, let us know if you would feel comfortable with a nude Wizard in your local Tesco Express. Answers on a postcard. In the Shuffles we uncover the GREATEST DECEPTION since Dan Brown found out about the Da Vinci Code and Tom Hanks had to stop Gandalf from finding the old cup. Jesus was a right old sneaky sneak. Apparently, there is also a big vault where they keep all the nuts in case everything turns rubbish, which is becoming ever more likely. Don't worry though, we know roughly where they keep them. Finally, we bid a tearful farewell to Jack as he goes... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wasn't it lovely of the Queen to send us a telegram for our 100th episode, which is definitely something that happened and we certainly didn't just doctor an old lady's 100th birthday telegram, because that would probably be treason. And this bumper 100th episode special has been a long time in the making. Not just in the fact that we had to release a prior 99 podcasts to make this happen, but because this episode has - for indeterminate reasons - taken us well over two months to edit and release. Was it worth the wait? Well we'll let you be the judge of that, but you do get a whole six Wikipedia articles for your money, covering the entire gamut of Wikishuffle nonsense. There's some tragedy, some wrestling, some classic pop big hitters and a modicum of BDSM to keep you interested. We even went to the trouble of hiring a local brass band to play us out. Here's to the next 100 episodes. Sincerest thanks if you've joined us on the journey so far. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The British monarchy pushes Chris's buttons, a coquettish woodpigeon pushes Jack's buttons and Philip is too busy pushing listener's buttons to have time for any of his own. It's the last ever double-digit episode of Wikishuffle, and we're spending the whole episode talking about young girls. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Most podcasts don't transition from whimsy to cheese to chess to frank discussions about mental health. But then Wikishuffle isn't most podcasts. In fact, statistics will tell you that Wikishuffle is actually less than 10% of podcasts. Look it up if you don't believe me. And, what's more, you can hear the story of how Chris got his legs waxed (he claims for charity, but I suspect a fair amount of sexual gratification amongst his motives).

Remember Chrisville from Episode 66? Sure you do - it's the island Chris is planning to build and govern. Since undoubtedly all Wikishuffle listeners will absolutely definitely be emigrating there as soon as humanly possible, you'd better listen to this week's episode to bone up on a few more of the rules of the land. And then there's a bona fide actual warning that if you're a sensitive sort, you might want to give this week's second article a miss. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In her sixth and final outing on Wikishuffle (for now, at least), Ruth Bradley spends most of the episode making crude hand signals, willfully unaware of the limitations of audio podcasting. Phil regails us with some actual first hand (and not very flattering) experience of our first random article subject, before we all set about hitting you with our laser beams, much to the chagrin of 80's BBC Radio One presenter Mike Read. Jack will return next week. Do try and contain your excitement. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Just a few days left to vote for Wikishuffle for the 2016 New Media Europe Best Podcast 2016 award. We'd be proper grateful for your support. Head over to wikishuffle.co.uk to find out how to vote. This week (after Chris finally turns up), we analyse some disco lyrics, mourn the death of some Victorian Miners (with or without a memorial) and find little to no sympathy in our hearts for Johnny Depp. Plus! Hear about how Jack once sexually assaulted a nun. High jinx all round. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's been an emergency! Not quite the Wikishuffle crew-member death that we were preparing for when we recorded this emergency episode back in February, but an emergency nonetheless. They (Northamptonshire County Council) are resurfacing the road outside Wikishuffle HQ, and it turns out that's quite a noisy activity. Too noisy for recording podcasts over, anyway. So we've had to resort to our backup plan and dust off our emergency episode. Which is about exploration and the inevitable cannibalism that ensues. Normal service will resume next week. At least I hope so, because we haven't got any more emergency episodes in the bank. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're not bitter. Honest, we're not. The Guardian explicitly told us they were going to feature Wikishuffle in their podcast feature and they didn't. That's fine. We understand. And we definitely didn't take it personally. In other news, please acknowledge us where the Guardian so ardently refused by voting for Wikishuffle in the New Media Europe podcast awards: https://www.facebook.com/events/438299223042307/permalink/474661112739451/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

While we may have used the odd sweary word in the past, this is the first Wikishuffle episode where I feel the need to issue a specific warning for adult content. You see, this is what happens when we allow a West Midlander to breach the sacred divide that is the M6. She brings with her a whole host of smut, that we innocent and virginal East Midlanders are contractually obliged to then talk about. Stacey Taylor (from out of off of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour podcast) has an endurance event she'd like to bring our attention to. And to welcome her to the studio, Chris has been getting creative.

Two episodes in two days? It's a Wikishuffle personal best (or worst, depending on your point of view). In this week's episode, we're calling out Scientologists, and are definitely the only media outlet ever to have done so [citation needed]. Other than that, you can hear our take on pooltime fun, and stick around to the end for Chris and Phil's review of Stewart Lee's ATP festival.

Time for the second half of this month's guest episodes, and we're swingin' on the flippity flop with Keith Clark once again. It's quite clear to everyone who his favourite member of the Wikishuffle team is. Chris is lavished with gifts, and his opinions on animals with jobs are given altogether too much of a platform. Clever animals to one side, 90's America provides the inspiration for the other articles Keith has selected. Don't be a lamestain - get yourself bound and hagged ready for this week's bonus Wikishuffle. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

PICK A FLICK! gives the middle finger to the Establishment and the whole of the Cannes Film Festival as we focus on the unique, hugely divisive and often difficult auteur this week that is Mr. Lars von Trier. Host Philip Sharman (1/3rd of the award-winning Wikishuffle podcast) is joined by friend Ruth Bradley and in her first time podcasting, Jane Douglas-Jones, undertaking the impressive 500 Days of Film project which she discusses at length. Nominated by Jane herself, they first examine von Trier's 2011 film MELANCHOLIA, take a deeper look at the director's work including his controversial Dogme manifesto, and finish up--nominated by The Comic Roast--with EUROPA, a film so hard to find Jane didn't even get to see it! They also take in audience feedback on Lars along the way. Join them and find out more!

We are one! 12-months of Wikishuffle firmly under our belts, and nobody can take that away from us. And how better to celebrate this momentous occasion than with a sincere apology for a past digression. We're very sorry for lying to you, it was not our intent to deceive. PLUS! Some in-studio ballet. Some boot-scootin' country music and Jack treats us all to another dramatic reading reading. Dig in and knuckle down - it's time for Wikishuffle episode 64.

'Tis the season for Zack Snyder, fa la la la la la, la laaa laaa laaa---ahem, yeah, given Snyder is all in vogue, we thought we might keep the focus on the big man as Chris Wallace (hosting for the first time) and Wikishuffle compadre Phil Sharman are joined by Pop Culture Parlour's Stacey Taylor. They look at WATCHMEN, Snyder's divisive adaptation of Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons's unfilmable graphic novel, square the focus on Alan Moore movies in general, before looking also at EVIL DEAD 2 - though that's not the one all of them have watched. Oh and this one has, without doubt, the most fun & protracted quiz Pick a Flick! has ever done. Thanks to all for the nominations and join us next time for more fun & japery.

Say hello to Chris's legacy - Jo O'Meara the turtle. Marvel at the lack of administrative duties that appear to be undertaken over at General Hospital, and brace yourself for some rather xenophobic views about the citizens of mother Russia.

Phil Collins must be very proud to be the first person to get two different Wikishuffle cover photos. It's like being on the front cover of Vogue, only way more prestigious. This week we marvel at Bono as Saviour, TLC as bangersmiths and the people of South Africa who, bless their cotton socks, think they've come up with an original idea.

It's a podcast within a podcast within a podcast this week as Wikishuffle's own Phil Sharman takes the Pick a Flick! hosting chair, joined by two debutantes to the show - firstly his old friend Ruth Bradley and, of Filmback TV, the show's first transatlantic guest Claire Tanner. Their first picked flick, from Matthew Brady, is SYNEDOCHE, NEW YORK, from the unique mind that is Charlie Kaufman, and all three have some fascinating opinions on a fascinating picture. Beyond this, they discuss the other works of Kaufman, as a writer and director, and precisely how many times in a year you should watch ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. Finally, as picked by Steve Aldersley, the trio look at Christopher Nolan's first breakout success, 2000's MEMENTO - but is it a trippy, revolutionary cinematic experience or lacking something? The lines are drawn. Lastly, it's QUESTION TIME for Claire as she chooses 1998 rom-com You've Got Mail for her quiz - but it turns out one of the other podcasters this week is also...

Doing our bit for diversity in media, we can now formally say that 0.6% of the hosting duties on Wikishuffle to date have been carried out by a woman. Specifically, by Alex Haddow, picture editor of the-pool.com who is our first pod-guest, and we're very pleased to have her. Largely because her celebrity anecdotes are WAY better than ours (and that's just the one we could broadcast). She's brought some Wikipedia articles with her and they're right good. So good in fact that we didn't have time for them all, so you can expect part two of this bonus episode to appear next Friday. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Weird slinky webs and young European women at the ready as Pick a Flick! wanders into the strange world of Dario Argento, hosted by horror veteran Emma Platt (of Dead Meat) and her guests Chris Wallace (1/3 of Wikishuffle) and Chris Haigh. As nominated by Lee Howard (of Movie Matters), they look at SUSPIRIA, one of his most well-known horror pieces, and you might be surprised out of the three who liked it... They look at Italian horror and video nasties, before embracing the madness of Nicolas Cage by looking at, as nominated by Chris Wilson, one of his earlier pictures in VAMPIRE'S KISS. You don't say? Finally, Chris Wallace takes his chances on QUESTION TIME with his nominated film, Tony Scott's True Romance. How will he fare? Tune in and find out!

Where Chris gives us a Hippo Campus update, Jack talks us through his plans for finally nailing down that Michelin star and Philip misidentifies Myanmar as Cambodia, the massive idiot. Plus we admonish the creepy and defend the ugly. Bootiful. It's our astounding fiftieth episode, and now we're not just talking about Wikipedia, we're on Wikipedia, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikishuffle See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

KOYAAAAAAAAANISQAAAAATSI!!! We're getting very serious and talking documentaries today instead of all these silly entertaining films like Star Wars or Rocky. No, this week is about proper films, so who better than podcasting jokesmith artists Jack Stewart (as host) and Phil Sharman from Wikishuffle, joined by Failed Critics film buff Owen Hughes, to tackle these serious and not at all funny films. Today these very serious men tackle early 1980's artful look at society, KOYAANISQATSI, as nominated by Dino Leone, and Jack's own nomination, the slightly tragic MARWENCOL. We're banking on the fact you can't pronounce those, otherwise what a silly title this episode has! Also the group tackle their favourite DOCUMENTARIES, talk some of the suggestions as to the best documentaries from PAF fans on Twitter, duke out what they think of Netflix's MAKING A MURDERER & podcast SERIAL and finally Jack tests Owen & Phil on a docu-special QUESTION TIME. Who will triumph? Tune in to find out! Oh and see if you can... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're back off our Christmas holidays for the first Wikishuffle of 2016. And to celebrate, Phil's taken over the editing for a bit. We take a trip through the emotionally challenged monarchs of history, and then do a spot of prospecting in the Wild West. Of Canada.

Meeeeery Christmas, everyone! Yes it's that time of year. Finish that mince pie. Put down the glass of sherry. Turn off Downton Abbey. PICK A FLICK! brings you festive cheer to warm the cockles with host Tony Black joined by the Wikishuffle boys aka Jack Stewart, Chris Wallace & Phil Sharman, to talk Christmas movies. Well, one Christmas movie in Richard Curtis rom-com LOVE ACTUALLY, which Chris & Phil were looking forward to revisiting in advance - will they actually agree with Tony & Jack's lack of fondness for this beloved film? Elsewhere, nominated by Steph Gabb, they look at 1974's PAPER MOON from Peter Bogdanovich, which has a particular bittersweet resonance for Phil. Did they all love it? Plus the guys take a look at some of the best and worst CHRISTMAS FILMS out there, discussing a few personal favourites, before in QUESTION TIME Tony tests their festive film knowledge - which of the Wikishufflers will come out on top? We hope you join us while having a wonderful Christmas! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Christmas is nigh, and our hosts take this opportunity to reach into the stocking and pull out all the random goodies they can find. We talk SPOILER-FREE about The Force Awakens, wax cautiously optimistic about the Warcraft movie, rant about the (not-so) casual racism in the prequels, contemplate fun things to do with Harry Potter's wang - er, wand - and have some general silliness with Star Wars Mad Libs.Big shouts out to the gents at the Wikishuffle podcast and to the nerdcore group 2d6.We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Part two of our Christmas specials see us take a fun and festive visit to Japan, and back to the 80's for a delicious cup of coffee. Merrrrry Christmas!

We made this extra long, so grab a box of wine and a bulk-sized cheese plate and settle in for a long winter's podcast, featuring gift recommendations, an interview with Adam Centamore, and our usual fun facts, history and etiquette, along with wine and cheese, of course! This episode's wine: 2012 Parducci Small Lot Blend Pinot Noir, California This episode's cheese: Goat Gouda Emily gets to interview Adam Centamore about his book we reference in most of our episodes! We get to hear about his training, how the book came to be, plus some great wine tips from the book! Don't forget to enter our giveaway for your chance to win Adam Centamore's "Tasting Wine & Cheese" book, which we use frequently for the inspiration for our wine and cheese pairings on the show! Giveaway ends Dec. 11! And you get to hear Emily interview him in Boston about how he got to be such an expert on wine and cheese and some helpful wine and cheese tips! You can find pictures and ordering information for all the gifts we feature on this episode HERE. Emily's Gift #1 -- Cask Jewelry James' Gift #1 -- GoPro Fetch Emily goes through the history of gift-giving around the holidays, where we reference Family Guy, and we realize we will probably never be on a first name basis with any of the Queens. We're trying to find the picture of Emily in 4th grade, when her mother teased her hair against her will. And we discuss what will be on our Christmas cards this year! James' Gift #2 -- Nessie Ladle Emily's Gift #2 -- Rewined Candles If anyone knows the gender of the Loch Ness Monster, please let us know! James talks about famous gifts received by presidents and dignitaries. And James has a Grinch moment of a certain appendage growing three-times as big when thinking about the president. And, if you liked our episode Cheers to Back to the Future, you'll understand our love of the idea of President Calvin Coolidge's cowboy outfit, which may also have resembled the pajamas that look like Woody from Toy Story. And, what might be the gift we're the most jealous of, a giant wheel of cheese given to Thomas Jefferson. And James gets to give his favorite gift, his judgement, to gifts given to the president. James' Gift #3 -- Polaroid Social-Matic Emily's Gift #3 -- Reid's Wood Crafts Cheese Slicers We talk about the etiquette behind regifting from the Emily Post Institute, plus some of the most common regifted presents. We'll basically take all those gifts, by the way. Is fruitcake as bad as everyone thinks it is? Emily's Gift #4 -- Maggie and Maddy: Adventures in Napa Valley and Colors of the Wine Country, both by Kyle and Amy Goleno James' Gift #4 -- The Hungover Cookbook by Milton Crawford We talk about the best and worst presents we've ever gotten or given. And we talk about ear-piercing stories, and James never misses and opportunity to bring up Kazaam! And Emily talks about her parents' worst Christmas when they got her a Michael Jackson tape, a Walkman, and a microphone. Emily reveals the worst thing she's ever done to an ex-boyfriend for getting her a present she didn't like. Men, if your girlfriend tells you not to buy jewelry, listen to her! And James tells the story of probably the most famous gift given to America, the Statue of Liberty. And, if all the plans for her panned out, she would have been a talking, gold statue with laser beams! Why is this not actually happening?! Come on! James' Gift #5 -- Baseball bat bottle openers Emily's Gift #5 -- The Tile If you're looking for more gifts for wine and cheese lovers, you can check out our Amazon store HERE. We'll be taking a break until the new year, so we'll have plenty of time to detox our livers and come back refreshed, ready to bring you fun facts, trivia, history, etiquette and more! If you have recommendations for a topic you'd like us to cover, you can submit it HERE.

This is possibly the most self-indulgent and silly episode yet. So sorry about that.

Politics and food are on the menu for this episode as your host, Tony Black, invites to his table film blogger and Cinematic Dramatic co-host, Leslie Byron Pitt, alongside Wikishuffle co-host Chris Wallace (in his second appearance so far), to chow down on some picked flicks. This week they're snacking on BULWORTH, the 1998 political satire drama comedy whatever the hell it is from Warren Beatty, nominated by Jay Everington, which Les takes issue with and Chris isn't keen either - but he does lead a staunch defence of the merits of Don Cheadle... A side order of POLITICAL FILMS arrives with the guys lapping up talk about their favourite, and not so favourite, political movies - with some audience suggestions too... Finally they gorge themselves on BABETTE'S FEAST, a 1988 Danish language drama from Gabriel Axel, nominated by Claire Tanner, which all three are surprised how much they enjoyed. Chris, however, was reminded of a certain cheesy, British cookery show... Last but not least, it's Les' turn to... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Swearing her way into the hosting chair for the first time on PICK A FLICK!, Emma Platt is reunited with Chris Haigh aka The Haighster, one of her two Chris-based partners in crime from Black Hole Cinema, and is joined by debutant Chris Wallace - seconded from his award-winning comedy podcast, WIKISHUFFLE. With Halloween on the horizon, the trio are all about the horror this week, with the first nomination from Emma’s other half Mike Abbott being LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, the kitsch 80’s curio — did they take to it? Emma also returns with the first solo DEAD MEAT of the show, this week focusing on Body Horror - prepare to lose control… PHANTASM, the strange late 1970’s horror classic, comes next thanks to nominee The Ginger Prince, but will any of them come out believing it’s a horror great?

Hello and welcome to this week's Failed Critics Podcast, released slightly earlier than usual to try and push it out just before the end of International Podcast today (that's today for the next couple of minutes, anyway!) As such, we recommend you check out our fellow podcast comrades Wikishuffle, Black Hole Cinema and Diamond & Human; all of whom are deserving of your time during your commute or whilst boiling the spuds, or whatever you do whilst you're listening to us. Joining Mexican assassin Steve Norman and intergalactic failed critic Owen Hughes for this week's episode is Andrew Brooker, undertaking his unpaid work placement, as they review three new releases. They're so new, in fact, that they are not even out in the UK yet! First up, Owen reviews new Ridley Scott sci-fi The Martian (which doesn't feature any aliens - xenomorphs or otherwise) before Brooker seethes over the new Anne Hathaway / Robert De Niro comedy The Intern. There's even room for a review of the much anticipated crime-thriller... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to another episode of the Failed Critics Podcast. As promised, Steve Norman is back in the host's chair this week as the award winning duo of Jack and Phil from Wikishuffle depart to be replaced by Matt Lambourne from the award winning video-game podcast Retro Asylum, such is the quality of guest on our shows these days! As ever, they are both joined by Owen Hughes for this week's triple bill episode, where each member of the team pick three films made for one million dollars or less in a bid to prove that the quality of a movie is not always dependent on its budget. Before all of that, the guys also take a look at the Primetime Emmy Award winners announced this past weekend and indulge themselves with the final round of our ongoing quiz - which, for once, isn't as shambolic as you might expect! There's also time for: Steve to tackle Everest, starring Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Brolin amongst others; Matt blows the dust out of his Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie cartridge;...

I will leave it to your imagination to work out what the 'C' stands for... ...All right, it was 'critics', of course! Failed ones, but what else could I have possibly meant..? Unfortunately there's no Steve Norman on this week's episode, but the award winning duo of Phil and Jack from the comedy podcast Wikishuffle join Owen and Brooker to review two new releases. Whilst Phil prepares a rant on M. Night Shyamalan's latest twisty-turny-twist-again-turn-again horror The Visit, the group also review British gangster movie Legend, starring Tom Hardy as Ronnie Cray and Tom Hardy as Reggie Kray. Also on the podcast: Brooker walks the line with Oscar winning documentary Man On Wire; Phil tentatively recommends Jonathan King’s (yes, that one) self-produced Vile Pervert: The Musical; and Owen shouts from the stands about indie...

You've caught us in a bit of a giggly mood. Sorry. This week we travel to Asia to talk teen dramas, we delve into the world of insects again, and get the streamers out because it's Adolf Hitler's birthday! Also, try to remember that Phil's mum listens to every episode of Wikishuffle. PS. We won Best Comedy at the UK Podcasters Awards. Thanks to all that voted, we're delighted.

Welcome to another edition of the Failed Critics podcast. This week, hosts Steve Norman and Owen Hughes are joined by Paul Field (making his first appearance since the Corridor of Praise: Danny Dyer episode) and Phil Sharman, one third of the award nominated comedy podcast Wikishuffle. On top of the news about Danny Boyle confirming production will begin on Trainspotting 2, there are two new release films reviewed by the team this week; Nima Nourizadeh's stoner comedy American Ultra, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, and the Statham-less Statham-vehicle Transp4ter (...no? AKA The Transporter Refueled.) As well as the new releases, Owen discusses the documentary Welcome to Leith (which is screening this week at the Cambridge Film Festival) with Paul, who also reviews Fort Tilden. Phil rewatches a recent favourite in The Adjustment Bureau and Steve follows up on a discussion from last week's FrightFest summary by checking out Australian pre-post-apocalyptic thriller These Final Hours. Fans of... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A bite-sized Wikishuffle for you this week, INCLUDING: Selena Gomez! Bieber! One Direction! All of the top hit-parade acts of this decade. PLUS! South African politics! Don't let anyone tell you that we're focused. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The last time you might have heard Wikishuffle appear on our podcast was back in April during the Quizcast and, as ever, Steve kicks off this pod with a quiz of his own before the team discuss latest new releases. There's disappointment over Seth McFarlane's controversial comedy sequel Ted 2. The Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominated dramady Dear White People doesn't quite live up to its hype. Even the animated Irish fantasy film Song of the Sea squeezes its way into this edition. Despite this episode being shorter than our most recent efforts, there's still time for: Owen to review the much lauded 1994 sports documentary Hoop Dreams; Phil rewatches The Guest, his favourite film of last year; Chris tries to figure out why this season of True Detective isn't working for him; Jack actually has fun (no, really) whilst watching Minions; and Steve finally gets around to Marvel's Netflix show, Daredevil. Join us again next week as we'll be back to review Ant Man! In the meantime, don't forget to vote for... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Singing trios and terrorism are the order of the day in this, the 18th episode of fabulous podcast Wikishuffle. We hope you enjoy, and I'd like to say that Wikishuffle, Jack Stewart and Chris Wallace do not represent the views and opinions of Phil Sharman, and especially his joke at the end of this week's episode. Shame on you, Phil. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to the Failed Critics podcast-- or should I say, "quizcast"! For the first time in Failed Critics history, we're teaming up with some fellow podcasters for 60 minutes of quizzing. With our regular host Steve Norman in the quiz master's chair, it was up to Owen Hughes and Matt Lambourne to represent Failed Critics. Up against them, from the weekly film review pdocast Black Hole Cinema, was Tony Black and Matt Latham. The third and final team on the quiz (and the only non-film related podcast) was
