FFB Podcast - Football, Film and Bollocks

The third and final away day of the season. First came a 1-1 draw between Accrington Stanley and Charlton Athletic at the renovated Wham Stadium, second came a squeaky 1-0 Barnsley win at home to Bristol Rovers at a half-empty Oakwell and finally, one of the final games at Bootham Crescent for the National League South game between York City and AFC Telford.

The famous Shambles, the Minster and the Vikings. 3 entered a Medieval walled-town boys and left men, walking for miles for urinals and lighting candles in piss-ant churches.

Jeremy Kyle. X-Factor. Strictly Come Dancing. TOWIE. Made in Chelsea. Love Island. Gameshows! Daytime television! Benefit cheats!

FFB brings Car Crash TV into a Car Crash podcast episode!

Kazabian. The Smyths. Happy Mondaze. Antartactic Monkeys. The Oasis Experience. The Clone Roses.

This is the best tribute bands of the 'Madchester' era and our experience. Through the Wetherspoons, through the non-payment of tram fares, through the Ibis Budget hotels, the Uber taxis and, finally, to the Bowler's Exhibition Centre.

Apologies for the long title but this is an important episode. 

David James or Jussi Jaaskelainen? Paul Telfer or Ugo Ehigou? Matt le Tissier or Tim Cahill? 

Football's biggest question: "is Kevin Davies the worst footballer on this list?"

All this and much, much more on Episode 40 of the FFB Podcast.

From Beatlemania to Madchester, from Britpop to modern indie rock, the boys discuss how the music of the 1990s were shaped by genuises such as John Lennon, Ian Brown and Morrissey and, in turn, influenced the likes of Alex Turner, Pete Doherty and Ricky Wilson.

New format, fresh 2019 – your #boyz are back in town (#boyzarebackintown).

The boys are feeling nostalgic with numerous callbacks to episode one as AJ regales us with his favourite conspiracies. Jake plays a quickfire game of Yes or No Conspiracy and AJ reveals how much he believes Flat Earth as a percentage (it’s quite alarming).

To mark their second year as a podcast, the boys open up the FFB Hall of Fame, inducting two people. A fourteenth qualifier is named for the Crisp World Cup, we peek behind the curtain of our YouTube recommendations and boys stables are selected in the FFB WWE rundown.

The podcast that supplies Wizard of Oz fun facts by the bucket load!

The boys list their favourite actors, Jake confesses the illegal beginnings of his love for film and AJ tells us which his favourite VHS was growing up.

Shrek and The Hunchback of Notre Dame were the boys’ first cinema visits – it’s your job whilst reading this to match that up with each host. (p.s. AJ regards Shrek 2 as the best sequel ever made.)

They rundown their top five films, a thirteenth qualifier for the Crisp World Cup is named and the boys list a lot of films they haven’t seen.

Also, a shoutout to Highly Unqualified, a podcast on iTunes from Scott and Troy in Texas, two dudes doing movie reviews! So in honour, today we are Soccer, Movies and Garbage.

As first of the three-part Season Two Premiere, the boys look at why they love football. They discuss their three most memorable football experiences, best matchgoing experiences and reveal how they got into football. Jake confesses that his first kit wasn’t a Manchester United, the words “Gary Neville could’ve played right wing” get said and AJ tells us his embarrassing first football video game. There’s also a landslide in the twelfth Crisp World Cup qualifier and Jake reveals how his cat once won the Champions League.

Harry joins Jake and AJ for the second away day of the season, to Oakwell for Barnsley v Bristol Rovers in League One. The boys tour Barnsley pubs, rant about pies and sound off on the poor quality of the football on display.

The podcast that asks: why Football Manager is better than FIFA and should PES be considered as the best contemporary football video game?

Jake reviews Johnny Depp classic Mortdecai and AJ pitches a choose your adventure in Stupid Little Pitch starring Gerard Butler. We bid one last goodbye to Moe Stegg in the Quick Dish of the Week and Dave’s Travel Agency as well as qualifying the 11th crisp into the World Cup. AJ and Jake play plausible or no plausible in the Mandela Effect conspiracy theory and there’s a spot of EFL trivia.
