Starship Podcast Warlock

We watch "Interesting," in which the boys throw a party, and all their friends are there, but apparently they don't like any of them. Also includes the first appearance of Vyv's future wife and the first appearance of the character for whom this podcast was named! Discussion topics include where else we've seen these actors, our dream list of guest stars, and a guy Jeff knew who fell asleep in the bathroom after one of our college house parties. We're so...decadent!

By the way, though we imply Lenny Henry does not appear in The Young Ones, in fact he does! But you'll have to wait till next season to see him

We watch "Bomb," a fond favorite of ours, in which something big, red, and scary drops out of a plane and into their kitchen, and Vyvyan eats a TV. We also discuss which character we'd consider our favorite, and exactly what Vyvyan meant about his bathroom habits.

We watch "Boring," in which the boys are so bored they go to the pub and meet Vyvyan's mother. We also are shocked to see, for the very first time, a controversial scene in this episode they never aired in the U.S. If you've never seen it either...brace yourself.

We watch "Oil," in which the boys move into a new house with slightly revised personalities, and discuss what we were doing in 1982. Features Jeff's famous anecdote about the painful way he got to play Atari Defender for the first time, and the unexpected link between Drew's childhood and Cliff Richard. One of us loved E.T. in 1982 and one of us loved Tron, but can you guess which?

We watch "Demolition," the still-cooking pilot episode of The Young Ones, and discuss how we first got into The Young Ones. Features tantalizing glimpses into our college years in which we quoted this show incessantly, to the dismay of our housemates, and gripping explanations of obsolete pre-internet ways of watching television.

A mercifully brief introduction to what Starship Podcast Warlock is about, and why, how, and whether you should listen to it.
