Stardub - Episode 50: A Half Century of Half-Wittery

Right, we've reached the Nifty Fifties and Marvel style we've returned to the original numbering!

This episode sees our still medicated Ralph, inflict another Turnbull Taste Challenge on Andy, it's Easter-related and looks to Ralph like and engorged penis.  What can it be?

We dissect Sapphire and Steel Episode One and a heated debate ensues but don't worry gentle listener, friendship is restored as our two pop-culture cenobites pour over the fine, fine publication "Your Chickens".

Oh, and it's the last outing for the Stardub 2.0 theme tune, or Vincent Price's The Saint theme tune, as it is more accurately known.  Shed a tear people, shed a tear.

Back to the Eighties - Episode 136

It's special guest time at BTTE Towers, and this time it's the turn of specialist collector's store All the Cool Stuff owner, one of the guys in charge of the Roll Out Roll Call convention, and all round nice guy, Dave Tree! Dave has a lot of interesting things to talk about, not only because he's a fan of most things 80's, but also because he has a unique perspective of the toy world, being a store owner. He is a must!

Also this week: Glenn, Phil, Becca and Dave discuss your thoughts and feelings of TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze, and we trawl the depths of the News Pipe in search of all the tasty morsels of new this week. How will new girl Becca cope with the News Pipe in her first foray into it? (Spoiler - brilliantly)

Back to the Eighties - When the Music Stops: Batman - The Warhawk

This week's tale of derring-do (about half eleven, sir) comes from 1989, and is again from Ladybird, who seem to have made a good living in the 80s by making some awesome readalong books. In this tale, the Penguin makes off with a government super-plane (think Firefox), and of course, there's only one man in the world who can stop him - the Dark Knight himself!

Top Tip: listen out for the great music bookending this one, in the style of Prince's 'Batdance', but not - if you see what I mean.

Shut Up and Watch This! - Episode 78: Super Hero Taisen (Commentary)



For the first installment in the "Tokusatsu Takedown" season, and also acknowledging the 2nd Anniversary of the Shut Up & Watch This! Podcast, the original team of Timey, JiiDee and IrishPalaeo are joined by CobracommanderTFW (Or Andy) as they celebrate by watching..... a rubbish Toku movie. Well, we think it is, anyway. If you're one of the few who liked this movie, please leave feedback, we'd love to hear from you!

Back to the Eighties - Episode 135

Hark! A new podcaster appears! Yes folks, there's a new addition to the BTTE team, in the shape of Becca aka Metrodoxy! Please make her feel welcome, and treat her as you'd treat Glenn, Phil and Jii. In fact, scrub that, treat her nicely!

This week's show sees Becca join the guys as Phil regails us with a spotlight of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze, followed by some news - and as there's been a week's hiatus, there's plenty of it about. So much, in fact, that we've had to hold some off until next week, you lucky people.

Also: we find out which 80s theme tunes rock the team's boat. Yes, team. We have a team now. Like the Avengers. But nerdier.

Shut Up and Watch This! - Episode 77: Dredd (Commentary)



For the second part of out two part show, as Timey, Andrew Turnbull, Simon "Silverbolt" Skey and Dr. Mellski take a look at the 2012 movie incarnation of Dredd, and Timey continues to prove why Karl Urban is a much better Judge than Sylvester Stallone.... not that he needed to do much proving, in all honesty.

No movie poster this time around, but a big thank you to UK comic book artist Simon Williams for the exclusive Judge Dredd artwork shown here.

(Another interesting note: Timey deliberately chose to make the Dredd commentary episode 77 of the podcast because the Judge Dredd comic strip started in 1977! Clever, huh?)
