Episode 61 - B is for Back To The Future!

For the second in our new A to Z series, this episode we look at the iconic 1985 time travel adventure, "Back To The Future", staring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
Mitch and Joe both agree this is a near perfect film, so we disect what makes it so good, look back at where we were when we first saw it, and then touch on the sequels and other media in the "Back To The Future" universe.

Episode 60 - A is for Atari!

For a bit of a shake-up, we've decided that 2017 we will be going through the A to Z of Massive Attack. Each fortnight Mitch and Joe will pick two suggestions each per letter, pop them in a hat and draw one out to be the discussion topic for the episode.
So, starting with the letter A, as it seemed like the best place to start, this time we cover Atari. We watch the documentary "Atari: Game Over" that looks at the urban legend that a surplus of "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" cartridges were buried in the New Mexico desert following the video game crash of 1983, and the archaeological dig 30 years later to find the truth, as well as the history of Atari the company, and the lives of the designers behind the games.
We also look back at our own experiences with the iconic Atari 2600 console and reminisce of a simpler time in gaming when all you needed was a joystick and a single red button.

Episode 59 - Great Expectations 2017!

The boys are back for another year, and seeing as it's January, it must mean it's time for our fourth annual Great Expectations episode. No, it's not more Charles Dickens, it's the film and TV we're looking forward to in the coming twelve months.
We then have a brief chat about the new format we will be running with this year, as starting in our next episode we will be running through the A to Z of Massive Attack.
That's the Dickens!
