Faces For Radio

The boys are back at it after an extended winter break (includes spring and half of summer) with a packed show during Lockdown. Reviews of Amazon Prime shows, Upload and Future Man, with an extended Wrong Dragon's Den section, with some very, very funny inventions.

Faces For Radio returns for a fourth season. Six months since the final episode of Season 3, the boys have come together during the global lockdown, to bring joy, tears, mirth, and flatulence to the comedy world. Here's a taste of things to come, or 1m 47s of your life you won't get back, depending on how you look at it...

In this, the penultimate episode of Season 3, our hosts talk about Butlins and Climate Change, in the same sentence. There's an insight into reality TV dating show, Naked Attraction, and an extended version of Wrong Dragon's Den, which this week proves too much for all three of them, as they collapse into hysterics in a Faces For Radio first. Welsh Alexa becomes a focal point before the conversation meanders into Movies and remakes, which rounds the whole episode off nicely.

This week's episode features and in-depth review of the Neil Armstrong biopic, First Man. There's lots of talk about new technology and space, some meaningless chatter about roller coasters, and a first look at the new Amazon graphic novel adaptation, The Boys.  This week also sees the introduction of Wrong Dragon's Den, a new section designed to look at inventions that would typically be horribly wrong. And the whole thing is kicked off with three minutes of digitising toilets.

This week, Tim is injured in a suspected drug/people smuggling incident with his (second) briefcase. In order to continue with the show, Dan and Phil had literally nothing to do to improve upon the usual dross, but that does not detract from the genius idea to telephone Tim's wife and play a bit of a prank on the unsuspecting Tim.

There's chat about Canadian Currency being "Spocked", Black Squirrels, Ozzy Man, Donald Trump's memory and lots more.

Episode 2 of Season 3 brings a lot of laughter and silliness, with tales of School Buses and things being waved. The trio discuss Chavvy kids, The Fifa Women's World Cup, the offside rule, Radiohead, U2, and a lot more. There's exploration of masculine lubricant too. Imagine that... Phil has a rant about mobile phone use and Audi Pre-sense, Tim says 9 words, and CakeTin joins us on the phone from Portland. There's the usual chat about Netflix and Amazon.

In this, the season 3 opener, we have a show packed with laughter and more than a little incredulity.

The show starts with a quick catch up on the last few months since Season 2 ended, without an ending, and the boys talk about new equipment, rubber hand sharks, The Meg, Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Pacific Rim, Godzilla, and other monster movies.

Unusually we have a long section dedicated to Netflix Trending - this week, Beyond The Curve - a documentary about people that believe the Earth is flat. Yes, really. There's some more talk about telly, and the show ends with a thrilling (hilarious) tale of mobile phones on aeroplanes.

Season 3 is finally here! Here's a quick glimpse of what's to come over the coming months....

This week, our three idiots talk a LOT about movies, including reviews of the new Netflix Special, Polar, plus conversations about Miss Sloane, Final Destination 2, TrashHouse - by British Comedy/Horror director, Pat Higgins, Poached Eggs, Foxes and Rabbits, Terminator 2, Bad driving, cinematic soundtracks and a host of other topics which take us through an 85 minute episode where they assume their own Gangster-Rap identities.

The first ever Episode 5 from FFR. Topics include changing names, parachute jumping, AdBlue, Tom Hanks, and Heath Ledger.
