Back to the Eighties - Episode 159

This week Glenn, Phil and Sam discuss YOUR favourite Transformers teams and subgroups. Who will make the cut? Who doesn't even get a mention? At least one of the picks will astound even the guys!

We also ferret out all the news from our favourite franchises, including (for once) Ghostbusters news! Seriously, will that third movie ever get made?

Add to the mix a couple of listener questions, and well, that's a rich enough feast for any King of the Nerds.

RCP - Episode 182: ''In Breathtaking 2D!''

There's something about this movie, that just creates complete joy and happiness in people whenever they watch it.

The movie in question is 'A Town Called Panic' a French stop motion cartoon based on the series of the same name.

After what happened with Guardians Of The Lost Code, I thought the gang deserved a good movie for a change.

Stardub - Episode 59: The Penis Is Evil!

Welcome back to the Stardub podcast gentle listener. Ralph and Andy kick off the latest effort, with some handwringing about collecting as one of them attempts to justify buying the Titan Class Metroplex to their other half. They then move on to a most unconventional dramatic reading (the first of many) of the novelisation of ZARDOZ!

Andy shares with us the Battle of the Planets TV Comic Special from 1983 (harass him on twitter to scan and upload this rarity as it does have the first meeting between Zoltar and 7-Zark-7) and Ralph bitches about Alex Ross's revival of BOTP and the pair lament about the loss of comic book specials in the UK.

We then move on to the legend that is Peter's Pocket Grandpa from the last ever The Dandy Summer Special before reviewing an issue of the Beano and leaving you on an exciting cliffhanger...

Philip Ayres makes a guest appearance in the flesh from the Death Fortress in Swindon in order to bestow gifts upon most of us and torment upon Ralph!

We’ll resume normal audio service later today...

Apologies for the background noise – we were in a pub (shock horror) and the wonky aspect ratio you can blame Nick Davidson who was wielding the phone that recorded this footage
