Bloobcast

The Bloobcast start 2026 with their belated* Halloween episode with a look at Euan's favourite Silent Hill game, Silent Hill 3.

They discuss Heather being the franchise's best protagonist, the iconic music, how budget affected the game's development, and the time when Uwe Boll challenged his critics to a boxing match.

*Originally recorded in October 2025 as a Halloween episode, but delays with editing due to external factors pushed things back significantly.

The Bloobcast start off the year with a tribute to the great creative mind David Lynch in a look at one of his lesser discussed works Wild at Heart.

They discuss how the movie compares to Lynch's other movies, crossovers of cast between productions, the absurdity of playing an Elvis cover at a Metal show, the several references to the Wizard of Oz, and the stupidity of 2004's The Butterfly Effect.

After four years of Bloobing, the Bloobcast finally cover a movie that's been in their crosshairs since starting the show - Joe Dante's 1998 movie Small Soldiers.

They discuss the movie's strong satirical edge, how cool the Gorgonites look, the amazing Stan Winston special effects, Kirsten Dunst being a feminist icon, the main character being a bit of a wet blanket, Phil Hartman being Phil Hartman, and the absurdity of 90's teenagers being obsessed with Led Zepplin.

The Bloobcast make a return to the worlds of Mainframe Entertainment to take a look at their 1998 Sci Fi TV Series Shadow Raiders.

They discuss the show's origins as a vehicle to sell toys, the main character's tendancy to remind everyone that he's 'Just A Miner', bizarre UK broadcast practices, why the series is called Shadow Raiders, speculate how the 1998 Godzilla movie may have inadvertedly lead to the show's cancellation, and how shows born out of Capitalism end up becoming pro Communism.
