SmorgasPod

It's the 2nd Century of SmorgasPod! With us to celebrate is 3rd Stooge Keith, who brings his hairy face and boyish charm to entertainment gold such as: A nerd quiz shamelessly stolen from online! The clever art of miniatures and bigatures! Naked directors! And when and why a TV show overstays its welcome, and how it can be avoided! Join us for all this and THAT fragrance..

Joined by 3rd Beatle, Keith, we are in audio form this week, so you can listen to Arron's new haircut, get a bit serious about current affairs, make up a couple of band names, discuss the lighter and darker sides of some comic heroes, and wonder: how do androids get pudgy?

We put the "anus" into "okayness" this week, as the rambling tangents get weird fast, exploring apocalyptic tropes, soulless TikToks, Karens, chocolate suppositories, and redefining the term "Background Extra" with a flaccid performance from a walk on part in a well-known 80s movie! You've been warned!

When does a comedy outstay its welcome? Wait, no, don't click elsewhere! We're discussing how some movies might be funnier if they were shorter, what makes a good Muppet movie, and the duality of censoring funny sex but not funny violence! All this, and Ghostbusters, Too!

Does tearing your hair out count as a lockdown buzzcut? And would giving your younger self a talking to help? Strewth, being a grown-up is pants! But is it as shonky as some larrikin feeding you nothing but yabbies? We dig into a nugget of history from Down Under this ep, to distract from the evils of constant bills!

Can your car make point five past lightspeed? If not, we Musk tell you about this, plus stupid baby names, street parties both socially distant and socially irresponsible, the flavour of pickles, and when bots and algorithms need context! All on today's SmorgasPod!

Greetings listeners, and WATCHERS! That's right, for One Nite Only, your two favourite nerds are available in moving pictures.. if only they can stop faffing with their background images! Tangential chat includes a return to the Overlook Hotel, a peep at Hill House, and a look back at the explosive debut of Iron Man, which turned 12 this week!

Bonjour, mes petits amis, et bienvenue a SmorgasPod! Zis week, your littel chums Arron et Andi are chatting about ze theme tunes of les animés European! How is it that it is that this leads to les jumpings off les cliffes, and ze Jacques Cousteau commentary on les bleu movies? Listenez-vous et findez out!

Why have one guest when you can have two? Double Double Impact Impact this episode, with wall to wall Welches and dual Dennises! Adam and Nathan, the brothers in question, come to the pod to discuss locked down birthdays, moving out, more reasons Andy should watch A Quiet Place, and more!

There's a lot to be caught up on during Lockdown, including movies, and sleep! We can't watch the movies that have been delayed, but there may be a good movie that passed us by.. Andy looks for a Quiet Place to watch one.. which might involve bolting down the cat flap!
