  • 32: The Biggie Awards 2021
    It's the most glittering evening of the year! The red carpet has been laid out, Stig is already slaughtered on cheap champagne and everyone is dressed in the finest evening attire. It's THE BIGGIES! The only awards show with any clout. 

    Allow you host, Oodles, to lead you through the Biggie Awards as we offer up the year's most prestigious trophies to films, TV shows and games that we feel were unfairly snubbed over the years. Allow us to right Hollywood's wrongs, for the good of the world.

    But before all that, we discussed:

    • Line Of Duty
    • Love & Monsters
    • Dead Space 3
    • What Remains Of Edith Finch

  • 31: Stupid Sexy Flanders
    You will RESPECT OUR AUTHORITAH!

    Gather round the TV, children, but don't look! Because this week we're talking about our favourite animated shows aimed at adults. We quote, we laugh at our favourite moments, we grumble over shows that aren't as good as they used to be.

    But before all that, we talked about:

    - Dungeons & Daddies
    - Palm Springs
    - Wrestlemania 2021
    - Joker

  • 30: Matthew McCoganey
    In the summer of 2020, a man called Oodles called out for compatriots to start a new podcast. Several people said yes. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

    This week, we're talking about the stupid, boneheaded, utterly astonishingly ridiculous things that have been done or released in the media over the years. Bad movies, stupid business decisions, terrible sequels, the whole gamut. It gets ranty.

    But before all that, we talked about:

    • Ryukahr
    • The Terror
    • Monster Hunter: Rise

  • Zack Snyder's Justice League Spoilercast
    2017's Justice League was one of the biggest cinematic turkeys of the 21st Century. It was an absolute mess. So after a significant fan campaign, 2021 brings us the original director's vision for the film in Zack Snyder's Justice League, a 4 hour long retooling of the original film he intended to make.

    But is it any good? Well Stig has brought Oodles and Gadget along to find that out for ourselves. We go through in significant detail the plot of the film, what we liked, what we disliked and how we felt about THAT Epilogue.

    Strap in folks, it's a big one

  • 28: Wizards On Tinder
    What do you do when you own a successful franchise or property that hasn't been doing the numbers of late? Leave it for a bit? Maybe try to remake it?

    No, you silly goose, you REBOOT it! This week our rebellious rebooters rap rapaciously about the rebooted franchises they love, they hate and they even pitch something they'd love to see!

    But before all that we discussed:

    • The Amazing Nerd Show Podcast
    • Behind Her Eyes
    • Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire
    • The Division 2

  • 26: More Yum For Your Crumb
    Put the kettle on, get the good side plate out and prepare yourselves, because our salubrious snack savants are doing the impossible, the improbable and the downright irresponsible.... deciding Britain's Best Biscuit!

    They said it couldn't be done (or was that "shouldn't be done"?), but by God, we've done it. We have categorically decided on the best biscuit in the land. 

    But before that, we talked about:

    • Dungeons & Dragons/Critical Role
    • Wallpaper Engine
    • The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
    • Coming 2 America
