The Massive Attack Podcast

Today, Nick Evans Joins me to talk Christmas, Knives, Gift vouchers, Smugglers and we have a good look at the Ronnie Barker Classic TV Series Porridge

Massive Attack returns for its annual Christmas tradition of annoying you with daily podcasts about Christmas.

Mitch couldn't do it alone so put the call out for help And Mitch's co-host from Hey Hey it's the podcast and WrestleRock Commentator Christmas tragic Criss Fresh stepped up to the plate to talk about one of his favorite childhood films, Santa Claus: the movie.

Massive attack is back! Well, sort of.

Mitch is back and he's flying solo and by the seats of his pants.

the first episode back is a short one.  It's all about He-Man and a couple of other cartoons that may sound a little familiar.

thanks for sticking by and checking it out and welcome to any new listeners.

Hope you like it.

As we kick off 2022 we look back to the dumpster fire of a year that was 2021. There were some shining lights though, so in this first part of our double header we look at our favourite gaming and television moments.

Be warned, as there may be a couple of spoilers in there as we discuss Tiger King 2, Clickbait, Squid Game and Ted Lasso. Plus Mitch tackles the plethora of Marvel related shows on Disney+.

We'd like to think we've saved the best for last with this offering for Day 12 from the cartoon series "The Real Ghostbusters" from 1986.

What happens with a team famous for catching ghosts meet up with Jacob Marley and his spirit friends? Christmas chaos obviously. 

In one of the very first syndicated television specials, Vincent Price narrates today's version of the classic tale, dubbed "The Christmas Carol" from way back in1949.

Just to be confusing we have another movie just titled "A Christmas Carol" again today, however unlike the traditional style we saw yesterday, this is anything but.

Starring UK soap star Ross Kemp as Eddie Scrooge, an unscrupulous loan shark, who meets three ghosts who show him the meaning of Christmas in this contemporary telling of the classic tale.

We've seen cartoon mice and excessive backstory, super heroes and tenuous links and super quick silent versions, but for toady for Day 9 we find a very traditional telling of the Christmas Carol story.

Made by an Australian production company back in 1982, there's not much we could find wrong with this one featuring the voice talents of Rod Haddrick in the Scrooge role.

A Christmas Carol is usually a story of a not-so-nice man's redemption. In our episode today, "Blackadder's Christmas Carol" from 1988, we turn that on it's head in a way only Rowan Atkinson can.

We continue with our 80s bracket today as we take a look back at one of the most popular sitcoms of that decade, "Family Ties" where they do their take on A Christmas Carol in this episode from December 1983.

Everyone's favourite yuppie republican, Alex P. Keaton, played by Michael J. Fox learns the meaning of Christmas thanks to some ghostly persuasion and early 80s special effects.
