Ho ho ho, it's Christmas time! Which can only mean one thing, Mike and Rob have dug into the Xmas movie archives to find something for you to unwrap. But you don't need to wait till the big day, oh no, our gift to you is ready right now, and it's Richard Donner's underrated dark festive cautionary tale Scrooged!

Recorded almost entirely off the cuff (because someone forgot to make any notes), we join Bill Murray on his hysterical interpretation of Dicken's classic, missing no opportunity to relish in delight at every nuance of one of our favourite Christmas films of all time. 

Come fly with us, amongst the stars ... well star ... ok we're going to the moon and that's about it. But we are exploring (see what we did there?) the rocket-powered world of space travel which remains a fantastic example of mankind going a long way in a short time and then realising they have a lot further to go before they're done and giving up for a bit.

Sputnik? We got it. Gemini? Obvs. Apollo? 1 through 17. And a smattering of shuttles, some Space X Heavy action and a load more besides.

Space, Spice, Sting, Scrotum Turds, Toto ... it can only be Dune in this month's WDAWKT movie extravaganza. 

We'd originally planned this to coincide with the release of the new movie but, COVID happened, the new movie got bounced to 2021 and we decided to do it anyway. To be clear, this is Lynch's 1984 imagining and you'll have to listen to find out if we liked it. 

With a very convoluted plot summary (because it's a very convoluted plot - it's Dune), a reasonable comparison to the book, some brutal honesty and 5-star reviews (as Mike says, "there are loads of 1-star reviews - have you seen this film?") it's a long ole episode ... but it's a long ole film so what are you gonna do?

It was bound to happen eventually, and it was even more bound to happen during backwards month. For MIke's Debut Deep Dive he's diving deep into the art of brewing as we talk beer!

From the truly ancient historical roots through to modern-day hipster brewing trends we sip, gulp, quaff and belch our way through the wonderful, rich and complex world of beer making ... while also drinking beer. The only thing that's missing from this month's episode is the kebab at the end of it all, and we figure you know just where to find one of those.

It's backwards month! And that means Rob is doing a movie and Mike is in charge of the deep dive. Which film could Rob possibly want to talk about for an hour? Well, it would be Hackers or Big Trouble but we've already done those. Frozen II was considered but Mike would likely explode. So we've gone back to the 80s as we download into the grid and play some awesome video games in Tron!

With all the usual segments you'd expect, a rambling plot review, one-star reviews and lots of yummy production tidbits, all you have to do is sit back, download and try to avoid getting digitized by an industrial laser beam.

We're going back in time! To a time before time was timed, but do we have enough time to talk about time? The answers to this and absolutely nothing else are to be found in this weird and wonderful episode where we talk Time Travel. 

Listen as we explore the possibility of visiting the past, the future and end up right back where we started. With paradoxes galore, we hope you'll join us on this journey through chronological madness... if you kind find the time that is.

"We're were going, we don't need roads!" ... but we do need to spend at least an hour chatting about 80's time travel classic Back to the Future. From concept through to execution we lift the lid on this tested family favourite with 1-star reviews, a fair quantity of debate over the merits of the other movies in the series, and the realization that, according to this movie, a white teenager invented rock n roll ... sure.

We're breaking it down to the letter, crossing the t's and dotting the i's, writing it up and writing it down ... yeah, it's time to talk Type! This one is longer than normal but then it's not often we do a deep dive into something that's been around since the DAWN OF TIME! And there's a quiz and they always throw our timings off. 

So if you want to know the difference between and En Dash and an Em Dash, or you're curious about why an ampersand is an ampersand, or you want to be amazed by the lengths samurai would go to prove themselves worthy (that's in the bloopers btw) then hit play and enjoy.

Vienna, 1949. Still ravaged by the ravages of the second World War, the once beautiful city is bruised and battered but still standing, hints of her former glory still present even as the Americans, British, French, and Soviets portion her up. 

This is the stage for the Third Man, British Noir excellence which has been ranked as variously, "the greatest British film of all time" and "the second best British film ever" ... so it's really good!

We explore the twisty world of Harry Lime and chums and along the way learn a little bit about what it was like to make a film in the true golden age of cinema.

We've been thinking and are both in agreement - email is where it's at ... at ... ? ... no? Oh fine! We're still gonna take this episode to explore the wonder that it Electronic Mail though. 

From its humble origins displacing flag waving hot air balloonists, to the pervasion of spam, we're doing it all. You'll be subjected to SMTP, POP, IMAP, BLT, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the works! So grab yourself a cold one, kick back and relax and leave it to us to CC you through.
