Retrospection

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.

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.

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. 

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!"

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.

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.

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). 

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.

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!

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........
