Looks Unfamiliar

024 - Garreth Hirons - I Backed The Betamax Of Nirvana Spinoffs


Listen Later

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is musician and writer Garreth Hirons, who's hoping that the post-punk nostalgia vending machine stocks The Yellow Album by The Simpsons, the Frankie Goes To Hollywood computer game, Krist Novoselic's post-Nirvana outfit Sweet 75, sitcom Linc's, the Transformers 'Action Masters' range, The Way Of The Tiger gaming books and high-concept soft drink Quatro. Along the way we'll be finding out why Ian Amblin took exception to E.T.'s Rugby League, how marketable a Richard Stilgoe Action Figure would be, the correct angle for Ped Gill's head and more than you would ever rationally want to know about what happened on 24th November 1998. Plus there's an update on the Piers Morgan/Monster Munch debacle!

You can also find Garreth on Looks Unfamiliar talking about The Bigger The God, Food Fighters, Saboteur, The Triangle Of Terror, Sizzlin’ Bacon Monster Munch, and Fun At The Funeral Parlour here, The Ghosts Of Oxford Street here and the Futurama Christmas Specials here, and standing in as host to chat to Tim about comedy on BBC Radio 3 here, Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride here and I Was Born On Christmas Day by Saint Etienne Featuring Tim Burgess, Ferrero Prestige, Bod’s PresentA Merry Jingle by The Greedies, Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion by Jenny T.
