Thistle Do Nicely

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!
 
This week is very indulgent.

We are joined by friend of the pod David Lawrence from the Scrum of the Earth podcast to talk about our favourite movie of all time So I Married An Axe Murderer starring scotophile Mike Myers who is playing duel roles as the love struck and confused Charlie and Charlie's hilariously Scottish father Stuart Mackenzie.

Not going to lie folks, this is just a quote fest, but we had a lot of fun discussing this one, so hopefully you'll have fun listening!

So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993) Dir. Thomas Schlamme

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

This week we look back at the incredible and inspiring and bonkers story of Susan Boyle; the local singer who came on to the Britain's Got Talent stage in 2009 looking "old", "frumpy", "weird" and many other unflattering adjectives, only to blow the judges, the audience and the world away.

After her appearance she became the biggest ever viral sensation to hit social media. Her rise to fame was devastatingly fast, having an impact on her mental health and well being, but ultimately changing her life forever, while giving her the influence to big time Obama!

We also discuss how she got some of her terrible nicknames.

If you hear some atmospheric rumblings in this episode it's because Chris was recording in a storm. It only adds to the drama of Su Bo's incredible life and career.

Once again we breakdown the most important news stories to have hit Scotland recently.

Rory suffered the tech issues this week, mainly by not checking his equipment before use - which is something you should do in all walks of life.

Finally, the conclusion of our Mark Millar extravaganza.

This week we explore Millar's original creations such as Kick-Ass, Wanted, The Secret Service and Jupiter's Legacy and the multiple movies they spawn. We discuss Millarworld and his massive ongoing deal with Netflix, as well a bit about the man himself, his politics and his charity work.

After our marathon recording session we ended up having some tech difficulties towards the end and we lose Chris for a bit. 

So pull on the wetsuit and grab your batons, because it's time to to nut up or shut up with the  Thistle Do Nicely Men!
