Rage Whale

Who is this joining us today from the Dark Side? It's Ben Connolly, long time friend of Kev who is a talented photographer and huge Sci-Fi Fan. So we dedicate the episode to this subject that we haven't really discussed much before which bring up lots of interesting conversations about science, technology as well as movies which often creep into Horror. But first of all, we chat about our London trip to participate in The Taskmaster Experience that was lots of fun. Drew and Ben both have some cosplay in common with a specific character we get to see today and James directs us into delving into Sci-Fi bad guys, flying cars and Uber Eats Robots amongst many other things. Enjoy.

Listen to this episode: Have a cup of Rage Whale. Go on, Go on, Go on! 

Shout Outs and Show & Tell as normal with a side helping of some exciting Movie News. The cinema hasn't had much out that interests us recently so we discuss some films we have seen streaming. We also reminisce on comedy TV shows we grew up on and unfortunately for the listener we attempted some impressions of the classic characters. Kev is excited to tell the guys about the band and new movie called 'Kneecap' which is exciting as it is funny and urges them to watch it. 

Ross joins us to discuss his job working at Odeon Cinema but we quickly find out he also used to work in Blockbusters which starts off a discussion of those nostalgic days. We also get into Cobra Kai, favourite movies of the year and some recent Movie News. Ross tells us about some horror stories with customers when working in the cinema but also the benefits. This is a fun chat covering lots of subjects. Always great to see another like minded movie buff.

Kev & Drew discuss the 40th anniversary of this cult classic from very different perspectives.It had a profound impact on Kev from a young age and is held in high esteem, whereas Drew watched it for the first time this week. How does this movie impact the audiences in 2024 and how do the effects and horror stand up. We have a fun time discussing this as there's lots to explore including how it has inspired a generation of filmmakers. 

Returning regular guest Michael joined us to discuss recent movie news from Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning trailer amongst many other releases and upcoming movies. We talk about a few recent films we have all watched from the cinema to streaming and divert into nostalgia TV like Thunderbirds, The Wombles and Rage Dolls. There is a 3 part Quiz with music involved spread over the episode. Holding our Breath, Tyson Fight, Bee Stings and many other topics on discussion in this fun chat. 

This is our Second Coming. We have been allowed to continue doing the Podcast with permission from the mighty Emmanuel Bonami. The man, the myth, the legend we have discussed for 6 months on the podcast. We reflect on such a special episode and the podcast growth in general. Kev & James discuss the new Netflix movie Don't Move and Kev tells us the little he can about the new cinema movie Heretic with Hugh Grant as a bad guy without any spoilers. Lots to enjoy in this episode from stories about a John Lennon Artwork purchase on one of the worst days we have faced as a nation to recent gigs and future guests.  

This is our final episode ever. Kev claimed previously that if we ever managed to get Emmanuel Bonami on to the Podcast we would have Completed podcasting. But luckily he gives us permission to continue. Emmanuel is a French Actor who most recently appeared in the highly rated movie 'Infested' (or 'Vermin' in French) on Prime/Shudder. We as a team have been obsessed with him for over 6 months, mentioning him in almost every episode and he had the great sense of humour to join us for a chat but the team weren't aware so got a joyful shock. Legend. This week's main guest is Joana Pido a Stand Up comedian in Zurich, she is accompanied by her friend and Rage Whale regular Kate to discuss comedy. We delve into how she got started, her filthy material and favourite stand up comedians and comedy actors.

Kev & Drew have recently seen Terrifier 3 in the cinema and are joined by an American Movie Reviewer. Peter is all the way from New York to discuss the huge impact this movie has had on us all in detail. All the impressive practical effects, the insane and grotesque kills and the effect it's had on the general public. Peter has also recently met the cast of the film which entertains us as they have become iconic in such a short space of time due to the extreme and uncompromising movement that has changed cinema forever. 

We have Drew back with us, hopefully for good this time. We start with some classic Show & Tell, leading into movie news discussing Blade, Spiderman and Christopher Nolan. We have an update on the Emmanuel Bonami situation which gives us a lot of joy. We discussed a couple of movies we watched this week; on Netflix 'Woman of the Hour' and 'Venom: The Last Dance' at the cinema. Drew has then created a horror quiz for us with music sections which is a close call but who will win? We end discussing the greatest Horrors of 2024 and of all time.

Both of today's guests have had some of the most listened to and watched of any of our previous episodes and we are having them both on together. Kate is a regular guest and especially loved episode 48 where Emma first joined us as a guest, opening us up to a deeper conversation than movies and into mental health. 

Today we discuss a whole host of subjects having fun along the way but delving into important subjects and including a meditation at the end. 

If anything this episode affects you please talk to a therapist of a friend, people care and want to listen and help where they can.
