Hello my lovelies,

This episode involves child care... sorry for the baby in the background, but as parents sometimes we need to sort kids out. This time it was Flick's turn, so 1 year old Meg features.

What do we have for you today?

We have Flick having her first Dr Who experience reviewing the episodes featuring Alex Kingston as Dr River Song one of the best intergalactic bum kickers in the business.

We also have me (John) getting to grips with a Harry Styles playlist on Spotify... yup, 47 year old man has to listen you "young people's music" how awful.

Tell us what you think via twitter or email [email protected] 

It's been a while... but it's very funny.

Yes, there's been a hiatus, but there's been a pandemic too so get off our backs!!

sorry, a bit strong there.

First off the audio on this episode isn't great, we have both moved houses and my set up is has many echoes, and Flick had a child and a husband commenting on most things...

...all in all not our finest work. We did laugh a lot though.

Welcome to reviews of "Queen's Gambit" and the music of Paul Williams.

Hello you!

Yes it has been a while... a long while...
Covid and house moves and life have got in the way... but we're back baby!

This episode sounds a bit odd. I may have pushed me too far forward in the mix and I'm sorry about that.

We look at Miss Americana the Taylor Swift documentary, and Saint Seans Organ Symphony... you know... as you do :-)

Hello You...

Flick has pushed another human out of her body so we can resume normal (?) service.

This was the last episode we recorded before the happy, gooey event.

Flick is introduced to the wonder of "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" (It's a miracle) and John has to trudge his way through that bloke who had that documentary done about him being a lost genius, but he probably wasn't lost at all... "Rodriguez" he's the Sugar Man in Finding Sugar Man... and he probably wasn't lost in the first place.

Pip Pip!

Hello You!

OK, so it's been more sporadic than ever recently... pandemics, pregnancy, and life being awkward have meant that we've not been hitting the "every fortnight" target.

Sorry.

We should be back to it now... Possibly.

This week Flick gave me The Bachelor UK to watch. Yes. That's what I thought too... and I gave her the first Cassette album I was ever given Chart Trek by Ronco. 

So it's a battle between 1983 music and terrible telly... who will win???

Hello You!!!

Well done for finding this splendid podcast. There's a couple of odd pauses this time as the Skype call we use to talk to each other (but not record the audio) was delayed and choppy. Sorry about that.

This episode I gave Flick the wonderful film "Moonlight" which made me cry on first viewing and there hasn't gone a month since that I haven't thought about it.

Flick asked me to listen to Laura Marling's album "Alas, I Cannot Swim" a prospect I wasn't looking forward to.

So do we love it? Do we hate it?

Has Flick given birth yet?

All answered in today's exciting episode...

As usual if you want to suggest something to watch or listen to get in contact!

Hello You!

It's been a little longer than we'd like but we have some more in the bag, so expect strict 2 weekly podcasts from now on... no, honest.

This episode I asked Flick to listen to the Shakespear's Sister album Hormonally Yours a classic from the 90's and I had to play... The Sims mobile for some ungodly reason.

If you enjoy middleaged men getting angry for no good reason then this is the place for you.

Hello You!

Welcome to the podcast where we managed to sort out the dodgy audio, apart from an odd noise from Flick, which is either a seat issue or an internal organ issue... given the state of her pregnancy I'll go with internal organ.

Aaaaaany whooooo this episode we look at a Taylor Swift playlist that Flick loved and wanted me to love too and I asked her to watch one of the finest films ever made, Casablanca aparently she hates black and white films which is a sweeping statement, but it's one of her rules.

Don't forget to get in contact with anything you want to add, or that you want us to review.

Aaaaaaaaaaand we're back...

Hello you.

This week we're all locked in with nowhere to go so it's time for classic music and new films. I asked Flick to listen to the wonderful Ink Spots, one of the classic vocal groups.

She asked me to watch the modern classic Hustlers starring Jennifer Lopez's arse.

This is a re-record, the front end of the audio is great, but the second half is on a bit of a wobbly skype... mainly because some one who was using her phone to record left it somewhere and wandered off... so that audio went very quiet.

Pip Pip!

John

Hello you!

It's another Skype recording, so please do excuse the audio quality... we are working on it, and Flick is working on her Hyperemesis so soon we'll be able to be in the same room again without her being sick.

This week we look at "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" and "Stripped" by Christina Aguilera.

One of these things involves a discussion of domestic violence and its portrayal in art. If this is a trigger then please accept apologies, and if I get it really wrong please tell me on @friendsyet on twitter or [email protected]
