Callum & David Make It Better

Callum and David are back reviewing another episode of a show that is fast becoming one of the boys' all time favourites. In this classic from season 3, they discuss the increasingly intelligent dialogue, beautifully intimate performances and a phenomenal 7 minute form-breaking section of the episode that proves once again why Moonlighting was so ahead of its time.

This week, Callum and David answer Patreon member Ben's call to revisit one of the unsung gems in the British comedy crown; the 2004 80s Sci Fi parody pastiche Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Sit back and have a laugh with the boys as they trace the comedic roots of all involved and discuss the genius of this oft forgotten cult classic.

In this week’s episode, Callum and David have been tasked by regular Patreon supporter and friend of the channel Adam to delve into the murky waters of 1950s America and explore the rise of Senator Joe McCarthy and the surrounding communist witch-hunt. Enjoy a potted history class as the boys discuss all things politics from Karl Marx to pro wrestling. Given the topical timing of this episode, recorded 5 days after the far-right insurrectionist siege on the US Capitol, we wanted to promote the fundraising efforts of the family of fallen police officer Brian Sicknick, who was tragically killed by protesters in the aforementioned riots: https://www.gofundme.com/f/95xqrr-officer-brian-d-sicknick-memorial

The boys are back and ringing in 2021 with a brand new Any Requests Patreon podcast, this time looking at the iconic spaghetti western One Upon A Time In The West. Expect musings on the socialist undertones, subversive narrative and cowboy morality of Sergio Leone’s cinematic masterpiece, as well as an inexplicable anecdote regarding 90s celebrity dancer Wayne Sleep.

For their 2020 holiday special, against a rising global pandemic, the boys thought the most appropriate and respectful thing to do would be to sit down and discuss a film starring a 90s Pro Wrestler playing an evil santa clause who just happens to be the immaculate offspring of the devil... Yes you read that right. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND STAY SAFE!

This week Callum and David get to engage in two of their biggest passions: theatre and US Politics! In perhaps the most freewheeling episode of Any Request yet, the boys were asked to simply sit down and discuss their thoughts on the importance of acting as a transferable skill when it comes to the highest office in America. Expect a whistle-stop tour of United States political history and theatrical philosophy as our duo explore whether performers make better politicans.
