New pod is out and this week Jordan is joined by long running guest John and new guest President of the Glasgow Doctor Who appreciation society David Cherry to talk about the weird and sometimes contradictory politics of Britain's flagship sci-fi drama.

#117: Raccoon City Blues
In this episode, the boys celebrate spooky season with a look back on the Resident Evil film series. A two decade long odyssey of cultural changes, bad special effects and how it closes mirrors the video games that inspired it with it's ups and downs. Also talk of the third anniversary of October 7, the cultural wasteland that was the 2000s, looming economic collapse and how vulgar auteurism won the future of cinema.

#116: Star Trek 3/4 - Into Mediocrity
In this episode, the boys return to Star Trek and cover the Obama era of movies from 2009 to 2016. The result is so underwhelming we barely talk about them. Instead how the entire early 2010s media landscape must be revaluated as soon as possible. Also talk of the breakup of the UK, the plight of the Yemenis people, Recession-core media and how Star Trek no longer feels relevant in a post American empire world.

#115: Live, Laugh, Waterboard
In this episode, the boys are once again joined by American correspondent Snel to cover the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and talk about the 2012 oddity 'Zero Dark Thirty.' A movie that both works a time capsule for when it was made, while also working as a preview for the last decade plus of foreign policy. Also talk of Charlie Kirk's legacy as a meme, how America paid for it's excesses with debt, Obama era cinema and the benefits of cannibalism.

#114: Star Trek 2/4 - My Dinner With Shinzon
In this episode, the boys return for more Star Trek and nostalgic wanking with 'The Next Generation' run of films. We walked into this one feeling good, and left only liking one of the four we have to talk about. Things only get worse from here. Also talk of Trump's increasingly bizarre day to day activates, the saga of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the slow death of 1990s optimism and how it set the stage for the last 25 years.

#110: The Endless Corridors of Content
In this episode, the boys try to get hip with modern culture by covering one of 2026's biggest cinematic sensations. Kane Parsons' Backrooms. A great horror film in it's own right. But also works as a commentary on decades of consumerism and capitalist greed have created the ultimate depiction of hell on earth. Also updates in the endless stalemate war in Iran, the guarantied rise of the West's answer to Pol Pot, Gen Z's justified nihilism and how our modern world is just the Backrooms, forced to copy itself forever. Iran's MOU that Trump signed: https://www.astrid-online.it/static/upload/memo/0001/memorandum-of-understanding-between-the-us-and-iran.pdf

#109: Hedwigs Got An Angry Inch
In this episode, the boys close out pride month with a palate cleanser from last week's show, John Cameron Mitchell's 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch.' A combination of rock opera, out of control vanity project and underground late 90s to early 2000s indie filmmaking that's loved world wide, yet we are a little more mixed unfortunately. Also talk of 1960s communism, the strange world the musical as a genre and medium and the impending vibe shift away from fascism that's taking hold.

#108: Mysterious Skindred
In this episode, the boys celebrate Pride Month the darkest way possible. By talking about Gregg Araki's 2004 masterpiece 'Mysterious Skin.' A very hard movie to watch, and even harder movie to degust. Buckle up for one of the harshest episodes we've ever done. Also talk of the predator's sixth sense, the ways different people deal with trauma and how most normal people only care about the suffering of marginalized groups once the horror shows up at their front door.

#107: New Vegas 2/2 - Mr House's Habitual Hubris
In this episode, the boys close out New Vegas proper by returning to the Amazon television show's second season, a fair more fleshed out and more New Vegas coded entry. Maybe video game adaptions can be good after all? Also talk of how CEOs have replaced government, the self destructive nature of American Era of Stagnation, and the Sham Wow Guy's attempt to run for office.

#106: New Vegas 1/2 - Counting Or Not Counting Raider Violence
In this episode, the boys return to the world of video games and Todd Howard to cover the best of the Fallout series, because he had nothing to do with it. Fallout: New Vegas. A game all about the end of the world and how to have the best time while everything falls apart, also giant bugs! Plus talk of some of our favorite 2010s video games and cultural trends, the vast amount of content this game has for a rushed side project, why so many RPGs feel like they leave out the player and how this game has aged now given how awful things have gotten since it's release.

May 16 · 1 hr 18 min
#105: Gamer Occupied Government
In this episode, the boys go full Monster Energy chud and cover the 2009 flop 'Gamer.' The peak of dumb guy satire and the fact by total accident, is probably going to be massive cult favorite in the years to come given how stupid everything is the 17 years since it's release. Also talk of UK elections, how everyone wants to kill the American president, the failed promises of modern technology and how everything is now just porn.

#104: Man-children of Men
In this episode, the boys sink their teeth into one of the 21st century's greatest dystopian texts, 'Children of Men.' Both the 2006 film and the 1992 book, and while both capture very different tones, styles and themes. They feel even more relevant and horrifying of our 2026 reality. Also talk of the ongoing war/oil crisis, mid 2000s genre cinema, zombie liberalism and trying finding something to live for as the wider world descends further into nihilism.

#103: Chuck Wagon Beans & Norris
In this episode the boys honor the life of action star and internet meme Chuck Norris, taking a look back at his filmography, his awful politics and political endorsements, and how he's crucial in creating the baby boomer made hell we all live in now. Also updates on Iran, the visionary mind of Menahem Golan and how modern conservatism can't have any fun unlike their 80s counterparts.

#102: One Bottle After Another

The culmination of Paul Thomas Anderson's career as a filmmaker, the looming collapse of American society and with it and trying to find hope in the darkness. Also talk of the war in Iran, how art continues to be worth less and less under techno capitalism and how revolution isn't as simple as going to a protest.

#101: James Sunderland and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
In this episode, the boys take a quick detour to small town America to cover the recently released 'Return to Silent Hill.' Maybe one of the worst movies we've ever covered on this show, and one you should most definitely watch. Also talk of nostalgia for shitty mid 2000s horror movies, speculate on how this thing turned out so bad and how it's the perfect starting point for 2026 as a whole.

#100: Mishima's Gay Movie Said So
In this episode the boys celebrate their one hundredth episode milestone by covering someone more strange up than they could ever be, Yukio Mishima. A man known for his writing, even more known for his very public death. But we try to figure him out it all with his own words, our theories on what made him tick and review the excellent Paul Schrader biopic on him to color in the blanks. Also talk about how depraved our elites are, the blank void that is modern culture, how fascism is always rooted in male insecurity and the grim world that awaits us post one hundred episodes.
