July 09, 2021 283: TOP 5 SOPHOMORE ALBUMS (BEST & WORST)
Your fully independent NO ENCORE is here, led by a freshly-jabbed Dave Hanratty and a smooth-as-silk Craig Fitzpatrick.

With no album review to speak of this week, the boys turn their attention to records of yesterday, specifically those of a sophomore variety. Does the 'difficult second album' cliché apply? It does on Dave's side of things, at least...

ACT ONE: A reminder that Craig is the smooth one here, not Dave.

ACT TWO (6:16): The week in music news including reaction to the #PilotEvent, the pinnacle of Ed Sheeran's career, Morrissey's shoddy wordplay and some impromptu Top 5 inspiration.

ACT THREE (36:32): Top 5 Sophomore Albums – Best & Worst~!

July 07, 2021 NO POPCORN #036 | THE DOORS (1991)
This is the end... of Craig Fitzpatrick's absence from NO POPCORN.

Everyone's favourite Jim Morrison sceptic joins Dave Hanratty and David Higgins to discuss Oliver Stone's reliably indulgent 1991 biopic The Doors.

On the agenda – Val Kilmer's genuinely transcendant performance, The Doors' place in musical lore, Jim Morrison's frontman credentials, Oliver Stone's directorial choices and Craig's general suffering.

ACT ONE: What We've Been Watching.

ACT TWO (26:48): The Doors.

It's an emotional one as Dave and Craig celebrate a major occasion while also ushering in the end of an era. There’s a new Tyler, The Creator album to consider and a Top 5 main event in which the guys might just find their way again. Onwards.
ACT ONE: An important show announcement – and Craig's birthday, which also matters.
ACT TWO (12:08): Christina Aguilera says #FreeBritney, Courtney Love picks a fight, Bruce Dickinson gets what he asked for, DMX set for the big screen and is Vin Diesel telling the truth? We’re not so sure. It’s the news!

June 25, 2021 280: TOP 5 BOB DYLAN SONGS (BEST & WORST)
Ace music journo and our very own super sub Zara Hedderman joins a returning Craig Fitzpatrick for an episode that’s big on breaking news… and big on Bob.
ACT ONE: How Craig helplessly listened last week, unable to come to an anguished Dave’s aid, a Hedderman catch-up, and a taste of a Saint Sister chat to come.
ACT TWO (8:50): Subterranean Homesick… News? We tease out a developing story as Mumford & Sons lose a banjo player so he can save us from Antifa, or something. We also discuss Britney Spears’ heartbreaking new statement, T Pain’s bizarre (and heartbreaking) plane encounter with Usher, a ridiculously cringeworthy case of accidental plagiarism, a visit to Kiss Korner and much, much more.
ACT THREE (49:20): Ditching new album talk this week for a deep dive into the wonderful world of Bob Dylan. As the icon hits a milestone birthday, Zara is tasked with picking her Top 5 Dylan songs of all time… while Craig has been digging around in the absolute dregs of his back catalogue. There’s some doozies in there, folks. Let’s dive in.

June 04, 2021 276: TOP 5 OVERHYPED ACTS / BLACK MIDI REVIEW
NO ENCORE returns amidst the blazing sunshine with a laser-focus on acts that just didn't quite live up to mountains of hype. There's also a review of the new Black Midi album. Are those two things related? Maaaaaaaaybe. Maybe not. Who knows?!

ACT THREE (34:16): London avant-garde outfit Black Midi return with Cavalcade. A chaotic enough record receives the review it deserves.

ACT FOUR (48:56): "Don't believe the hype." – Chuck D, Public Enemy, 1988. "Here are 10 acts that prove that maxim." – Dave and Craig, NO ENCORE, 2021

May 28, 2021 275: TOP 5 SONGS ABOUT DRIVING / OLIVIA RODRIGO REVIEW
Rev your engines and so forth as NO ENCORE gets behind the wheel and tears down a musical motorway in search of the very best songs about putting the pedal to the metal. All that and a truckload of teenage angst on this week's album review.

ACT ONE (3:30): A breezy news section takes in the return of Primavera, Matt Bellamy's mindful approach to science, Billy Corgan's wistful reflections, and Pusha T's childlike lamenting.

ACT TWO (19:37): Musician, poet and noted swiftologist Alice Kiernan joins Dave and Craig to discuss rising pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo and her chart-bothering debut album SOUR. Organic next big thing or cynical industry plant? Much to think about.

ACT THREE (43:49): Dave can't drive. Nor can Craig. As such, who better to deliver the Top 5 Songs About Driving?
