TOP 5 BASIC BANGERS ft. Boy Party
It's a party, Marge. It doesn't have to make sense. And what a party indeed - Lucien Waugh-Daly and Shane Kelly of the excellent film face-off podcast Boy Party return to NO ENCORE HQ with one hell of a crowd-pleasing Top 5 in tow. That's just one part of a very busy episode, so let's get to it... ACT ONE: Preamble, plus a mass media review frenzy as the boys report back from Moby and Deftones' respective visits to Dublin and the new Travis Barker documentary. ACT TWO (28:20): This week's news section laments the loss of titans Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, welcomes the sound of a familiar festival-themed tolling, ponders the state of 'alternative' sounds, tests a Letterboxd-esque music app, questions the approach of the next Michael Jackson movie, and, but of course, witheringly sighs in the direction of AI. ACT THREE (1:04:15): Top 5 Basic Bangers. And don't miss out on all the piping hot bonus content over at patreon.com/noencore - 50 episodes of Album Club, 46 episodes of Film Club, and our forthcoming Hogan Knows Best season-by-season watchalong series - sign up today for as little as €5!

TOP 5 CRAZIEST WRESTLERS ft. Kefin Mahon
Whatcha gonna do, brothers, when NOENCOREMANIA runs wild on YOU? Dave takes the opportunity to discuss his almost never-mentioned totally secret passion of professional wrestling at length this week - Adam is mostly on board - alongside the incredible font of grapple-based soap opera knowledge that is Kefin Mahon~! Particularly prolific in the podcasting arena, Kefin is the host of The Attitude Era Podcast, How2Wrestling, and Cinema Swirl - three shows Dave heartily recommends you immediately add to your listening rotation. And so the boys convene on a busy episode that is as likely to raise your hand in triumphant victory as it is to betray you with a brain-scrambling chair shot outta nowhere. Do not miss out on the NO ENCORE Patreon by the way - Adam is currently celebrating the milestone of 50 Album Club episodes with his deep-dive into Smashing Pumpkins classic Siamese Dream, while Dave and Andy return this Monday with horror double-bill Smile and Smile 2. As for this here smackdown, it looks like this: ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. ACT TWO (12:19): Chaos reigns as the news section takes hold - fans fined for going late to gigs! Oasis vs The Beatles! Also those terrible latest Beatles movie(s) set photographs! Slipknot implode even further! Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson pivots to music! ACT THREE (1:01:20): Top 5 Craziest Wrestlers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TOP 5 HEALING SONGS ft. Rebecca Breene McDonnell
Let's revitalise. Adam and Dave are joined in-studio by Rebecca Breene McDonnell; artist manager, music PR and co-creator of Art to Art; a video series you've likely seen pop up in your feeds where artists interview one another about their respective processes and wherever the conversation takes them. It's very good, so be sure to check it out once you're done with this episode. As for this conversation, there is much to discuss as ever so let's get involved - do also get involved on the NO ENCORE Patreon as the Film Club and Album Club put more numbers on the boards. ACT ONE: We learn about Rebecca's passion project Art to Art, the many facets of its construction, and the vast cast of characters at the heart of it. ACT TWO (37:01): Spotify dominates this week's news section as the curtain is pulled back on artist profitability (spoiler: not good) and new AI regulations (could be better). There's also check-ins with The Weeknd, Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, and Travis Barker, plus some words for the late William Orbit. ACT THREE (1:10:22): Top 5 Healing Songs Hosted on Acast.

TOP 5 GOOD SONGS IN BAD MOVIES
The Dave & Adam Express is back, powering along the rails once more as the boys keep things in-house for what is a very busy episode indeed. Having briefly touched on the passing of Glen Hansard last week, we take the time to focus on the extraordinary reaction to his death, from extensive media coverage to divisive online commentary to headline-making funeral arrangements. Beyond that, you've got a Dave-fronted Top 5 that he insists is one of his best in a long time (while also being fully aware he rarely does such selections of his own these days). Don't forget to sign up to the NO ENCORE Patreon for extra episodes - Adam's latest Album Club is a must-listen for Sunny Day Real Estate fans, while Adam also leads the charge on the next Film Club as Chris Hemsworth's Extraction series finds itself in our crosshairs. And now, on with the show... ACT ONE: Preamble. ACT TWO (12:20): Let's talk about Glen Hansard. ACT THREE (35:04): Top 5 Good Songs in Bad Movies Hosted on Acast.

TOP 5 MUSICAL ODYSSEYS ft. Darragh Nolan

TOP 5 CYBERPUNK MUSIC ft. Brian Lloyd
Grab your best leather trenchcoat and modified handgun as we take a trip into the artfully gleaming yet logically miserable world of CYBERPUNK - and, of course, its sonic stylings. And if you fancy donating some of your hard-earned Eurodollars to the NO ENCORE Patreon, we'd encourage you to plug into our bonus episode feed right here. ACT ONE: Dave reports back from Manchester with a review of the hardcore festival that was OUTBREAK 2026 - well, some of it, at least. Sweat, bruises and circle pits, oh my! ACT TWO (46:04): Screenland host and entertainment journalist Brian Lloyd joins the show in time for a largely gig-focused news section that takes in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's expensive nuptials, Lily Allen's contentious West End Girl live tour, Harry Styles' unique seven-city jaunt, Noah Kahan's bowel-upsetting pledge, Javier Bardem's sick music taste, and Michael's continued cinematic dominance. ACT THREE (1:25:07): Top 5 Cyberpunk Music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
