Retrospection

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.

126. Oh, You Beast!

It's time to unleash our animal instincts, but luckily Paul's finally been house trained, so we can take a look at the short-lived, fantasy, crime show, Manimal from 1983. Along the way Colin wonders how police consultants actually work, Paul wonders why he had the annual to a show he didn't see, and we both try to work out the logistics of Manimal's powers, (spoiler, we fail).

Enjoy!

125. Pipe Down!

There's strange noises coming from Retrospection Towers, and it's not just Paul after curry night. No, we've become possessed by the spirit of Ghostwatch (1992), BBC's pseudo-documentary that scared a nation.

Along the way Paul worries about his stains, Colin spends too much time researching glory holes, and they both talk watersheds and red triangles.

The pipes, they are calling........

124. Let’s Dance Tonight!

Colin's escape attempt failed, and he's back to making sure Paul behaves himself. This time we've got our dancing shoes on and we're ready to groove with the heavy sounds of, Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984), the cult American musical starring Pia Zadora and Craig Sheffer. Along the way Colin reminiscences about Dusty Bin, Paul reveals his future Vegas act, and they both help the environment by recycling old jokes. 

123. Duty Free!

While Colin's away, Dave has stepped in as Paul's carer. Can he manage to keep Paul on point as they discuss the American TV series, Tour of Duty (1987-1990)? Find out in another fun-filled episode (not guaranteed).
Along the way, Dave reveals his price, Paul recalls the fun of Video Plus, and they reminisce about ITV local regions. Can it get more explosive than that?

 

 

122. Carry on Deceased

In this episode we're haunting the archives of ITC and checking out the cult 1969 TV show, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). Along the way Paul promises to haunt Colin for the next 100 years, Colin informs Paul where he's headed, and we come up with our own reboot ideas.
