SmorgasPod

Prepare to be terrified, not by the recently released Resident Evil demo (although that too!), but by Arron's techno-ramble, as he astounds you with feats of factuality that only one born of Silicon Valley itself might comprehend! We also ponder the nature of crushingly statuesque vampire ladies, and Andy grumbles about Transformers on a certain streaming service!

This week we glance both backward and forward in time, to the ways that movies of the past depict and predict what they thought we would have in the far flung future, to Arron's vision of what a Matrix sequel could and should be, how the genre and aesthetic of a movie can change the feel of very similar story beats, and try not to scare Andy too much with his immediate future as a parent!

In a slightly late start to 2021, we are joined by Keith Nickson to wonder what wonders will bewitch us with Wandavision, and how it might have lasting implications for the wider Marvel Universe, and also have a wander through Wonder Woman '84, and wonder if making "selfishness" the real enemy was a writing blunder, and should Diana be built like a brick privy? Join us!

As we toss 2020 into Mount Doom, and hope to return to the Shire of a fresh new year, we discuss our festive experience at the close of a tricky 12 months. What movie should we watch whilst seeing in the New Year? When is the right time to stop watching Christmas films? And why is a movie set in The future obsessed with the 80s? Hint: it's not because of Wonder Woman '84!

Tuck up your babes in their beds, prep their stockings, and prepare for visions.. not of sugar plums, but of Danger Coconuts, and nightwear garbed fruit of the Bananapocalypse! For the Dead Man is coming, and you'd better be asleep! Yeah, it's Xmas Eve.. and it's gonna get weird.

How did Santa get 364 days of holiday a year? A Clause in his contract! But who needs bad cracker jokes, when we have a cracker of a collection of sketches and songs for you! Merry Humbugs, you lucky people!

Festive greetings, fellow humans! Curated here for your amusement and bemusement are the many skits, songs and sillies from your favourite pod! Come inside, and know us better, man!

It chriiiistmas! Almost. So we're getting festive with felt, as we get a bit Muppety, and dip our candy canes into a stocking full of voices, as we ramble on in preparation for the season of goodwill.. and maybe give Santa a stroke. Oh dear.

December looms! Will you be sent to Whamhalla? Is "Last Christmas" even a Christmas song? Arron and Andy try and save you from the dangers of the Middle Aisle, whilst discussing the dangers of burgling the house of an underaged psycho, wondering where Event Videos went for songs, and preparing you a Big Breakfast!

Third Smorgateer Keith joins us this week, if he can get a word in edgeways with his little girl in the room! So we attempt a good catch-up, compare our varying stages of parenthood, wiretap the world, and wonder if Xmas will be a wet blanket! All this and Andy opines on current and past Resident Evils. BRAINS!
