In what will surely go down in podcasting history as the worst episode of Hallelujah Monkeyz ever, Dillon and Trevor grit their teeth and sit through every excruciating minute of the nine phase two remixes included on the special edition of D-Sides. You're gonna need a lot more than a panda to hug if you want to get through this episode.

After trying to figure out the most passive aggressive way to gaslight the firstborn son of Jamie Hewlett into appearing on the show, Dillon and Trevor take a better look at two former Gorillaz producers by checking out a pair of promotional mixtapes they created while working with the band: “Gorillazish Mix” — a phase one compilation tracing the musical influences of Dan “the Automator” Nakamura — and “Roadkill”, a phase two showcase of the group’s new collaborators directed by Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton. It’s a level of content-scrounging unlike any the show has seen before!

With a Russian space dog at the helm and some reggae on the stereo, Dillon and Trevor set their controls for the heart of the dub and take an interstellar look at Laika Come Home -- with a little help from one of the Spacemonkeyz themselves, Dubversive! It's one small step for a dog, one giant leap for monkeyz everywhere.

The Hallelujah Monkeyz End of the Summer Double Episode Bananaz Blowout continues as Dillon and Trevor welcome director Ceri Levy to the show for an in-depth chat about his years as Gorillaz' documentarian. What's it like being inches away from a vomiting Damon Albarn? Tune in and find out!

Having subjected themselves to an exhausting season of exploring every last nook and cranny of the Gorillaz mythos, Dillon and Trevor kick back and unwind with a copy of Bananaz, Ceri Levy's 2008 documentary about the first two phases of the project. Well, really it's a movie about Damon Albarn trying to catch a cigarette in his mouth, but I think they mention the band a few times too.

Like two fledgling paleontologists, Dillon and Trevor take on the incomplete skeleton that is Phase 3's storyline and do their best to reassemble it into a beautiful T-Rex. Meanwhile, Murdoc Niccals has a serious drinking problem. Patreon: www.patreon.com/hallelujahmonkeyz Discord: discord.gg/Nr9Du4S Email: [email protected] Twitter: twitter.com/gorillazfancast

After a week away, the Hallelujah Monkeyz book club reconvenes as Dillon and Trevor conclude their coverage of the band's biography, Rise of the Ogre. Time to close the book on this two-parter!

While Dillon's laid up in the Hallelujah Monkeyz sick bay, Trevor takes an opportunity to demo a new recurring segment -- with a little help from a very special guest!

Dillon and Trevor call the first meeting of the Hallelujah Monkeyz Book Club to order and discuss the first half of the band's 2006 biography, Rise of the Ogre. It's a real page-turner of an episode!

In a very special time-traveling episode, Dillon and Trevor check in on the progression of the band’s North American tour, along with the developing friendship between 2D and Brazilian footballer David Luiz. Then it’s time to brush up on your Gorillaz lore as we take a listen to a series of radio interviews the animated side of the project released alongside the band's first and second albums: “The Apex Tapes” and “We Are the Dury”. All that, and teatime with Damon Albarn. Patreon: www.patreon.com/hallelujahmonkeyz Discord: discord.gg/Nr9Du4S Twitter: twitter.com/gorillazfancast
