Half Bants, Half Rants, All Pod.   With 20 seconds to comply, talk turns to subtitles from hell while 'streaming' blue murder, before going deep on seminal satire, the action classic Robocop, as well as its sequels, spin-offs, remake and inappropriate 80s kids cartoon show.   Dick, you’re fired!!
It's choice talk and split lips, as Sheppy draws first, talking Classic Westerns, Gritty Action and Charles Bronson...   ...All while sneaking in two brand new pitches for the greatest cross-over in movie history!!

Plunge with us into the murky world of Sci-Fi Adventure Spy show, Captain Scarlet!   Joining Sheppy this week is Tamsin, from podcast sensation Pop Goes the Tam Tam, as they go deep, go long and go nuts for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s groundbreaking, bone-breaking, pulse-pounding TV classic...   ...As well as delivering a pitch for a brand-new spin-off to this wonderful show.   S.I.G !
A cauldron of delights await, as Sheppy throws out THREE brand new sequel mini-pitches… Plus TV Talk!

This week, Sheppy loses his mind and watches all five live-action Fantastic Four Flicks, for your listening pleasure.   Disclaimer- Contains minor spoilers and plenty of dubious life choices.   It's Slobbering Time!

Time for the third episode of the Shoulders of Giants mini-series devoted to one Mr. F. Krueger, formerly of 1428 Elm Street.

Starting a new mini-series, Jimmy and Sheppy discuss all seven of the original, seminal films in the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
