October 31, 2021 Episode 32: Kick - Sudden Death
🔪💀 We braved the chills (and thrills) of a sudden death shootout and sat down to record a surprise Halloween episode! If Saw and Goal had a baby, it would be the monstrosity that is the creatively titled Kick - Sudden Death.----more----

October 30, 2021Episode 31: Mean Machine
With Mean Machine's twenty-year anniversary quickly approaching, we thought it was finally time to review this Vinnie Jones vehicle and see if it holds up to today's standards or if it should go straight to movie jail. We're joined by friend of the show and soccer exec Chris Keem to discuss his favourite footy film!
Thrown in jail after assaulting two police officers, former England captain Danny ‘Mean Machine’ Meehan must lead a team of prisoners in a match against the guards if he wishes to stay on good terms with a scheming governor.

October 08, 2021Episode 30: Marvellous
BBC's Marvellous tells the true story of Neil Baldwin – well-loved Stoke City kit man, registered circus clown and perennial Neil Baldwin FC football of the year. Full of happiness, optimism and a belief in the kindness of strangers, this film is a gem worth discovering. If you're into that kind of stuff.
"I met a lot of people in my life, and I'm glad I did."

September 04, 2021Episode 29: Soccer Dog: The Movie
If we're going to have to watch awful footy movies on the Matinee, we might as well head straight to the bottom. In our quest to award a wooden spoon, we called enigmatic friend of the show and tableware expert CPL Wooden Spoon to give his recommendation and join us in reviewing the legendary four-legged footy flick, Soccer Dog: The Movie. Turns out, it's actually paw-some.

July 03, 2021Episode 27: My Summer with Des
Football's coming home and Martin wants to be there to greet it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
A romantic comedy set during the 1996 Euros, My Summer with Des was an utter disappointment but it did give Mark and Adam a chance to reminisce on the England-favourite edition of the tournament, Gazza and memories of other Euros gone by. 🚧 We had a few technical difficulties on this episode on we're placing the blame squarely on a cursed VHS copy of this movie.
