TRASHFUTURE

We did it again. Joined once more by Séamus Malekafzali (@seamus_malek), we reviewed a terrible Hollywood take on America's imperial reach. Another CIA movie. Another movie about empire, except this time it's about a horny congressman who manages to give Al Qaeda a billion dollars. Yep, it's the 2007 Tom Hanks romp CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR, written by Aaron fucking Sorkin. Please enjoy this preview of it.

The full episode (and dozens just like it) is available on our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/35574901

TF Season Three continues as ancient history Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) from the Tides of History podcast joins the gang to discuss what went exactly went wrong with the Roman Empire. Why did it collapse? What can we learn from this experience? Why were Roman death cults way cooler than our death cults?

Here is a preview of this week's bonus episode. It's the return of our beloved pure comedy format, recorded back when the world was normal, to help get you through the lockdown blues. Riley and Milo are joined by friends of the show and comedians Glenn Moore and Pierre Novellie. We start with LA Noire and end up talking about perhaps the worst movie ever made by a famous advertising pitchman - the inAPPropriate Movie.

We've also got new t-shirts available! So email trashfuturepodcast [at] gmail [dot] com to order one! £15 for Patreon subscribers. Check out the new design here.

If you had told us three months ago that, in the aftermath of the election result that didn’t go well, we’d soon be witnessing the utter collapse of financialised global capitalism… we might have believed you? But as we all try to parse the absurd world we suddenly live in, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) convene from their respective bunkers to discuss what’s next. The answer? We don’t know. But we do have a soundboard and a fleeting hope that something better might emerge.

Please enjoy this preview of this week's bonus, a live episode of Trashfuture recorded on March 6 the 2020 Bristol Transformed festival. You’ll hear Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) join special guest Angie Speaks (@speaksangie) to discuss an app that retroactively places products in existing films -- who hasn’t wanted to get ads for Casper Mattresses when watching 1970s noir films -- and a long story about a man who wants to remake Bishop Auckland in his own, uh, slightly vampiric image.

Please enjoy this live episode of Trashfuture, recorded on March 11 at Vauxhall Comedy in London. The almost-full cast of Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) join special guest (and 3-time returning champion) Mollie Goodfellow (@hansmollman) to discuss a human-replacing app that seems intent on making Daleks, the looming coronavirus pandemic, and an elite concierge service for billionaires that is more than slightly ripe for conspiracies.

In this preview of the weekly bonus, Riley's found some deeply, deeply horny British political writing, and in an attempt to shatter the psychic resolve of our friends down under, he's brought on Andrew Law (@illybocean) of the Boonta Vista podcast. This is also the 10th official TF episode as it features founding cohosts Charlie Palmer and Olga Koch Olga (@rocknrolga). Hope you enjoy!

In this unlocked bonus episode, we're talking Jacob Rees-Mogg's history: his book 'The Victorians' might be the single worst collection of words that Riley's ever subjected himself to (so far), and we've brought on friend of the show Nish Kumar (@mrnishkumar) to discuss it. You might even call it a 'Horrible History,' but that would be anti-British drivel!

We've also just released part 2 of this review with Nish, which you can get on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/34742880

This week, we're talking about the recent Irish elections. We could do the usual thing and make it up as we go along, but we'd rather speak to an expert -- so we brought on Ciaran Dold (@CiaranDold) of the Corner Späti podcast to break it down for us.

This week we’re talking Free Speech Union and the strange assortment of bitter British Gen-Xers who are convinced that they’re being oppressed because people don’t think they’re funny anymore. YouTube superstar and Low Society podcast host Angie Speaks (@SpeaksAngie) joins the cast of Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum to rejoice in removing Toby Young’s right to free speech. Also: Angie will be joining us onstage for our Bristol Transformed show, so please come out and see the gang in action!
