Edwin Sammon Of Knowledge

It's another episode of the podcast where, this week, Ed finally reviews the horny second half of Bridgerton and gives his two cents on the sequel to Wonder Woman which is set in 1984. Is this a clever reference to George Orwell? No. There's nothing clever about this movie. Ed also talks about a treasure trove of old Uncut magazines he has recently come into possession of and reads from a article concerning Elvis and his love of horribly bad for you foodstuffs. Ed also reveals his 'love' of Elvis and talks about the generational gap between himself and his future Father in Law when it comes to the medium of video games and Turkish dramas. Enjoy.

It's another movie favourite from my childhood, a run through of Tim Burton's funny and scary and horny ghost with the most in the form of Michael Keaton's title character. But what's his real name? No, not Betelguese. Michael. Who could have been cast, what's a scat got to do with it? What's a BeetleMoose? Why is there a full run through of terrible talking horse comedy 'Hot To Trot', a movie with an inflatable sex horse in the middle of this episode.?! Feel sleepy, get comfortable, stick it on and find out. Then sleep. Enjoy.

Ed puts this classic action adventure filum to bed with soothing tones and calming factoids on the making of the movie. There are hot takes and some casting alternatives along with asides, lukewarm takes, bad impressions and some surprising and controversial left turns the movie could have made in its casting and production. And whether or not you could call Hitler "a nut" in 2021 or would you have to say he has "mental health issues"?

It's the end of the year and Ed hasn't much to review! One stand up gig and one new movie watched in the cinema since the pandemic started but he's joined by very special guest Sir Paul McCartney who chews the fat and does his impressions of the other Beatles. Ed also talks about new hip show Bridgerton. He also reviews the first Dad book he has received. Will it prepare him for impending fatherhood or is it a load of nonsense? All this plus Ed sings a happy apocalypse song to see out the old year. Enjoy!

It's a Christmas special edition of the podcast designed to help you drift off to sleep while listening to soothing facts and relaxing opinions on some of ed's favourite movie filums. This time its the often overlooked and barely spoken about Christmas holiday classic "Scrooged". How does it compare with other adaptations? What's some interesting facts about the making of it? What confused Ed as a young man about it? All this and more as Ed talks you through the movies production and relaxes you off to sleep. Enjoy and Happy Christmas, put a little love in your heart! x

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year that's full of health and happiness and no more virus based nonsense! Ed sings lots of songs in this episode because it's the time of year when songs are sung. Some of these are his own short versions of holiday classics and some are songs from his upcoming album which may or may not be a real thing. There's a special cameo appearance from Cara and a very special announcement! All this plus an exclusive inspirational song! Merry to you and enjoy!

This week the year is coming to a close and Ed talks about his favourite shows he watched and eventually gets around to describing them correctly. He has a brief conversation with a midlands baby and a slightly longer one with the main Christmas man himself, Santa Claus. All this plus Ed defends Tom Cruise's on set rant and sings a made up Bruce Springsteen song.

Another episode to drift you off to sleep and also just if you like podcasts about movies. This time it's the 'is it a Christmas movie or not' classic, 'Die Hard'. With comforting facts and funny asides about the making of the movie and soothing tones throughout as Ed gives you the cold hard facts, made up facts, misremembered facts and lukewarm takes. Enjoy and sweet dreams. With thanks to Wikipedia and IMDB.

Merry celebration time everyone! This week Ed tries to get himself cancelled straight away as he has Bob Marley on the brain and it's proving problematic. Ed recounts his recent stint as a Zoom Santa Claus and the highs and lows that come with being seasonal gift man. There's also a silly news section where Ed gets to the truth about the dangers of what his Father Gerry has called "Mint Heart". What is it? Is it a real thing? Or just something that Ed's Dad just made up or thought was a real thing? The answer will shock and surprise you!
