We're Gonna Need A Bigger Pod!

Crikey! We've got another choc-full episode of film appreciating greatness for you this Easter, so why not grab your Nintendo Game Boy, pop on a nice comfortable pair of Nike Air Jordan's and take the fast track via an interdimensional plumbing pipe back to the 80's, as Jon Brown and Paul Marsh precariously navigate the brick block platforms that are this week's new movie releases, inspired by pop culture and sport icons of yesteryear.

Speaking of, the spectacularly brilliant Hayley Donaghy and Madeleine Finlay-Hudson are our super star Guest Interviewers this week. They managed to get the highest score on the leaderboard, by interviewing some of the folks responsible for bringing our childhoods back to life and providing you with our biggest episode for guests yet by having insider chats with the mighty...

Ben Affleck 
Matt Damon
Chris Pratt
Charlie Day
& Anya Taylor-Joy

...discussing Easter Weekend Box Office behemoths 'Air' and 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' respectively, which Jon and Paul also review, alongside the return of Richard Donner's 'Superman: The Movie' to Cinemas, 'The Portable Door' on Streaming, 'Avatar: The Way Of Water' on Digital and 'Babylon' on 4K Blu-Ray, plus loads more!

The lads will also be court side with the latest News & Trailers, as well as a slam dunk of a Tip Top 5 - 90's Action Movies - as suggested by listener Ali McNiff, so we'll be reading out his, ours and YOURS, but not in the style of Basketball commentators. Because, that would just be weird.  

There's also our GOAT Of The Week and you can find out who won our 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves' merchandise competition too, so make sure you listen to hear if it was you!

So grab those Karts, put the pedal to the metal and we'll try not to drop any red shells!

It's real swell that you read this far and honestly if you have, then you too will believe that a man can fly.

Great dragons ablaze! It's a monster of a show this week, one that we quite literally had to wait for Jonathan for, in order to free it from it's post production prison so it may fly free and be shared with the people like a wealth of riches. 

Join Paul Marsh & Jon Brown as they roll an 8 sided dice and go on an epic quest to unpack the latest News, Trailers and Cinema, Streaming, Digital, 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD releases, taking breaks only to do battle with Orcs (mostly found under bridges or in You Tube comment sections).

And yes, you DID read that headline correctly, it is indeed, a 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves' Special and it absolutely features interviews with the Cast & Crew including (takes deep breath)...

Keeping in the 'Dungeons & Dragons' theme, we also read out YOUR Tip Top 5 Fantasy films (as well as our own lists, naturally) so be sure to listen in to find out why 'The Princess Bride' is one of the best films ever made. No, wait, that's not what I was meant to say - I was meant to say - listen in to find out YOUR choices! (Been at the Tavern again, sorry).

And (nope, not done yet) we also have some amazing 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves' merchandise to give away including a Cap, Water Bottle, Hoodie and Bag! Be sure to listen to the Pod, to find out how to enter the draw.

I can't help thinking this would be better if Jonathan were here to read it...

From your friends at 'We're Gonna Need A Bigger Pod', a brand new off shoot dedicated solely to the love of the music of both big and small screens, born out of a mutual respect and unwavering admiration for the folks that write the scores featured in all of your favourite films, television series and video games. 

A show that celebrates that very same music and the creators of it by sitting down with the many maestro’s involved industry wide to hear their stories about making the notes that emote.

Join hosts Jon Brown & Sean Wilson as they present to you the full, uncut, mammoth 60 minute long conversation with Tyler Bates and his daughter Lola Colette to chat about Lola’s rise as an artist, musician, future rock star and composer and Tyler who’s work spans many decades as a musician, touring artist, rock legend, music producer and film composer and has seen him work with some of the best of the best including rock artists Bush, metal icon Jerry Cantrell and film director James Gunn.

He’s the Composer of the sensational scores for entries into such huge Hollywood franchises as ‘Guardians of The Galaxy’, ‘Fast and the Furious’ and ‘John Wick’ and he’s been enjoying well deserved praise from horror fans too for his amazing music for Ti West’s twisted trilogy ‘X’, ‘Pearl’ and the upcoming ‘Maxxine’.

Sean and Jon spent over an hour with Tyler and Lola and here, now fully uncut with everything kept in is what they had to say, on this, our very first episode of ‘We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Pod Presents… Scoreheads’.

It's Showtime!

I wouldn't hang about here reading this for too long, unless you're having trouble sleeping, then by all means, knock yourself out. (Ok I'm going now).
Update Description

Like our local multiplex, it's a busy one this week with an episode positively bursting at the seams (and almost as long as an Oscar speech) as Paul Marsh and Jon Brown digest the last week in Film (and a bit of telly too)!

Join the lads as they review 'Champions' and '65', get the low down on 'Shazam! Fury Of The Gods' from Guest Reviewer Ruben Shaw, tackle a bit of television with 'A Town Called Malice', share our thoughts on 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' and go over the latest films on Streaming, Digital, 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD and more. (Yes, alright, you can come and play too Batman & Robin).

We've got some top interviews for you as well with stars Jack Rowan and Tahirah Sharif discussing their lead roles in Nick Love's brilliant new comedy drama thriller 'A Town Called Malice' for Sky & Now and Jon Brown celebrates the release of 'Living' on Blu-Ray and DVD by way of a catch up with it's most excellent director Oliver Hermanus.

Plus, we read out EVERY, SINGLE, ONE of your Tip Top 5 Tom Cruise films (as well as our own lists, naturally), so listen in to find out if we got to yours in time and whether it's a risky business letting these two mavericks undertake such an impossible mission. (I know, I know. I'll get me coat).

In the words of the prophet Marshall Mathers - "Let's get down to business!"

There's also a Tip Top 5 on the films of 1989, a International Women's Day celebration by way of not one, but two 'G.O.A.T's Of The Week' and an awesome conversation with 'John Wick' series and 'X' and 'Pearl' music composer Tyler Bates and his most excellent daughter Lola Colette - a shining star on the rise as a brilliant musician, singer, songwriter and composer in her own right.

All going on this week - so let's get to it shall we!
