A real step back in time here for an archive episode of What's Your Damage - the 1980s movie show from Noel (Beyond the Neon) and Mike (Chinstroker vs Punter) which ran for just three shows.

Randomly, this episode is episode two (we are digging out the others), but the pair get deep into some great flicks from the era - Escape From New York, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Caddyshack. And at over two hours, there's some good listening here!

Adventures In VHS is the podcast and book dedicated to the lost format of VHS. In this third episode from the archives, it's back-to-back creatures from the deep with Lamberto Bava's Devouring Waves (1984) and Barbara Peeters' Monster (1980 - AKA Humanoids from the Deep).

Noel, Marc and Ian are back with a brand new episode of Play It Forward - the show where each host 'gifts' a co-host one iTunes movie they think the other will enjoy. So, how well do they know one another's tastes?

Play It Forward ran for some time as a bonus show on the Film Basterds feed, but for 2020 we've come back to it with fresh eyes and will be publishing a new episode every month right here... with a fourth Pod Syndicate family member joining us for the upcoming February show!

In this episode, Noel gifts Marc the 2005 corrupt cop drama Dirty, Marc gifts Ian the 1993 Neo noir Romeo is Bleeding, and Ian gifts Noel the 2015 blockbuster Tom Cruise smuggling adventure American Made.

In this bonus ep, Mike from Chin Stroker VS Punter chats with William Geradts, owner/operator of New Zealand's largest public expo events, Armageddon Expo.

Having run these huge events for 25 years, nobody is better placed to discuss fandom, from the New Zealand perspective, like Bill. So join Mike as he gets to learn more about his adopted home through the lens of the 'Geek Boss' as well as a look behind the curtain into the business of expos/conventions.
