What happens when one host makes a suggestion for a letter “F” topic and the other host doesn’t pick up on the sarcasm? Well, you get an episode dedicated to one of the world’s most popular fast foods, Fried Chicken!
We originally thought we could discuss the sci-fi action film “Freejack” but after almost losing the will to live watching it, we instead look at this tasty treat. The origins, our fond memories of drumsticks of the past, and the use of fried chicken in music.
There is a bit of movie talk in the ep too, as we make the slightly tenuous link and have a chat about the 70’s sketch comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” that helped launch the careers of John Landis, Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers.

E is the next letter in our A to Z of Massive Attack, so this time around we look at the sci-fi cult classic “Escape From New York”.
Set in the dystopian future of 1997, well it was the future when John Carpenter made this film, Kurt Russell and his sweet mullet enter the island of Manhattan which has become a prison to rescue the President before time runs out.
