Retrospection

136. Double Damme!

While Colin is still trying to find the right Stargate home, Dave backflips into the fray. He joins Paul as they Jean Claude Van Damme it all to hell with Double Impact (1991).

Along the way Dave reveals who he has always wanted to be, Paul goes high brow, both rank their classic action heroes while getting nostalgic about old video stores.

135. Prime Time Evil

While Colin is temporarily away as the acting Fire Chief in Trumpton, brave, Eleanor, steps into the fray to tackle a Jurassic dinosaur… but enough about Paul. They’ll be talking about ITV’s answer to a time traveling Time Lord, Primeval (2007-2011)

Along the way, Paul talks about his chance encounter with an Ex S-Club member, Eleanor hates a cliffhanger, and they both discover the best way to examine a prehistoric creature. 

134. The Plot Thinens

There’ll be arguments, slamming doors, insults and shouting, but this time it’s not us. It’s the TV show, Moonlighting, that redefined the detective genre in the mid-eighties.

Along the way we reveal that Paul dislikes rhyme (and that’s a crime), Colin questions Paul’s invulnerability belief, and we both discuss how we consumed shows without the internet telling us they even existed.

133. The Purple People Beater

It's spandex onesie wearing time again as we take a look at The Phantom (1996). Billy Zane battles against a criminal mastermind who is intent on obtaining the power from three magic skulls. Along the way Colin tries to convince Paul that a certain Batman film is the best outing for the caped crusader, Paul reveals his jukebox musical and we chat about eye mutilation.

132. The Phantom Flan Singer

The Phaaaantom of the opera is here, but not that Phantom because of legal reasons. It's a different creature that stalks Brian De Palma's, Phantom of the Paradise (1974). Join us as we tackle the plight of a disfigured man filled with revenge (but enough about Paul). Along the way Paul admits he'd sell out in a heartbeat, Colin wonders just what he'd sell his soul for, and we both talk about our love of a nifty split screen. 

131. Side by Side

In this episode we're taking a look at the Bruce Willis comedy, Hudson Hawk, from 1991. Along the way Paul talks about his love of the Vatican, Colin laments the Tri-Star logo, and we manage to resurrect our "catchphrase".

"Oh, the Pope warned me never to trust the CIA!"

130. Northern Terrors!

In this episode Paul is joined by guest host Chelsea Moss as they take a look at Crucible of Terror (1971). Along the way they discuss how northern is northern, 70's man, and question the logistics of smuggling art.

129. Doctor in Need!

In this episode we're being propelled though time and space (but mostly the set of Eastenders) as we point our sonic screwdrivers at Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time (1993). A two-part special that was created to celebrate the show's 30th Anniversary and to raise money for Children in Need.

Along the way Colin calls on Paul's extensive Dr Who knowledge, Paul needlessly wonders what time travel does to your hair, and they both reminisce about Saturday nights.

128. Merry Quizmas 2023

Colin & Paul attempt to out Christmas each other with a seasonal themed quiz on movies, TV and music. As Jay tries to retain control as the host who will reign supreme? Will Colin even remember his name, will Paul have spent weeks feverishly researching the answers, and will it all end in one big bun fight? 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New to our listener(s), our Patreon supporters and all the people who have stepped in to co-host this year when one of us couldn't be bothered (cough - Colin). 

127. Bionic Fingers

We're using our bionic eyes, but not our barely bionic brains as we take a look at the popular American TV series, The Six Million Dollar Man. Along the way, Colin marvels at Steve Austin's clothing, Paul worries about aging into Sasquatch, and we choose our own Bionic bits and pieces.
