Back to the Eighties - Episode 115

This week's episode sees Glenn and Phil discussing how your own personal montage would go - the music, what would happen, and so on, as well as some interesting tidbits about Swansea City, Hans Zimmer, and Doctor Who.

Add to that mix the usual eclectic seasoning of news, views, and questions about times gone past (especially some stories about very disappointing toys), and you've had your 2 a day! 2 a day of two old codgers rambling on, that is.

RCP vs FF - Episode 87: Flashback Time AGAIN!


Ok so for nearly over a year now me and my co-host Matty (AKA Random Crap Ranger) have been reading this fanfic titled 'Code Of The Living Dead'.

It's written by Dying English which is how we met him and this chapter is in short a flashback for one of the OC's he created for this.

Regardless it's still a fun chapter and hopefully you'll enjoy it.

RCP - Episode 142: Finger ... Finger ...


Shortly after we recorded our review of the 1st part of the TMNT OVA, we went through the DVD pile and found this show, BAROM ONE!

So please join me and my co-hosts as we watch a show where the above guy beats the living day-lights out of a giant hand monster which chases a young boy whilst shouting 'finger, finger'.

If you've not realised now that Japan is weird then something is clearly wrong with you!

Stardub - 2.17: There’s Methadone in the Madness of the Sixth Doctor

No you haven’t missed a fortnight, we are skipping an episode – 2.16 will be with you in two weeks time. We’ve bumped this podcast forward to serve as a timely rebuttal to friend of the podcast little Philip Ayres. He is currently watching an episode of Doctor Who a day and blogging about it HERE. He’s recently moved onto The Sixth Doctor and gave the Twin Dilemma and the regeneration a kicking. We’ve decided to talk about this particular show and the Sixth Doctor in general.

Comic wise Ralph brings us one of The Real Ghostbusters Choose Your Own Adventure Minicomics packaged with Trio! chocolate biscuits. This one was called Electrical Shop Shocks! Our intrepid team take up the challenge. Will they be successful?

Ralph’s real life allows him the chance to give us an illustrated leaflet – Methodone and Your Teeth for Andy to discuss and read through.

Back to the Eighties - Episode 114

We also discuss the classic 80's montage (and a few others that have been 80's inspired), and have a look at the toy news for this week. You can tell that the Road to Christmas is about to get tarmacced - there's very little in the way of news at the moment.

Then again, we're talking to Harry Partridge. Which is more awesome than news anyday.

Shut Up and Watch This! - Episode 49: Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen Fan Commentary



In our fourth in the series of Ninja Turtles commentaries, Timey & Grufflock take a look at the 90's Turtles Japanese anime OVAs and ask........ why? Well, Timey asks why, a lot. Grufflock is mentally unstable and needs professional and spiritual help in every way possible. He also wants to be ridden on like a pony, but that's not relevant here.

[REVIEW] ANDY TRIES!!

So yeah: Andy will try anything once. Here's what happened when, at Auto Assembly 2012, he tried Panda Snacks and Pokky. Both were strawberry-flavoured, but did they get the Andy seal of approval? You'll have to watch the video and find out!


As a bonus, I include previous Andy tries where Andy (From Botcon 2011) tried Arnold Palmer Iced Tea, Ranch Corn Nuts and a Tijuana Mama!




Will Andy do any more? Who can say. All I know is: Andy will try anything once...

RCP - Episode 140: COME AT ME RE-ENTRY BRO!


In today's episode ... I have no doubt the hardcore Kamen Rider fans will kill me for calling this movie a confusing mess. In case your wondering it's the directors cut of Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love.

Comic wise you can thrill to the Uncanny X-Men at the Dallas State Fair from the space year 1983, and the Botcon 1997 comic by Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman.

Another Turnbull Taste Challenge is sprung upon an unsuspecting Andy.Rounding things off we let you know what's in store for 2.16...DARK something or other.
