CAUTION - this podcast contains many, many duck puns. After listening to this podcast, you may need to seek medical help which is exactly where I'm typing this from. We apologise in advance.
Howard the Duck is an unfamiliar film to us, and one we were excited to visit for the podcast. But, boy were we disappointed with what we saw. We tried to keep an open mind, but couldn't look past the films many flaws which we discuss in length this week and try to find some positives (which we do).
We try to find a favourite scene of the film (not even the credits can escape), discuss the cast and give our verdicts for the board from above. Will this be the one to lift City Hunter of the bottom?

This time we land into the world of Joss Whedon's Sci Fi western Firefly. We let Chris of his leash as we delve into the cancelation of the show, what made it so special to so many and we discuss each cast member in detail. We try to come up with a plan with scoring when one of us is missing as there is no Rich this week, plus we also try to put the board from above into some sort of order.

Digitiser, the teletext video game magazine recently celebrated its 30th anniversary in Lonodn and Jason & Rich were there to join in with all the shenanigans that were happening. Here we look back at the event and the two live shows plus our appearance on stage at the Chunky Fringe event which was being run alongside Digitiser Live.
During the weekend we managed to round up some interviews including Cliff Foster from N64life, we met the legend that is Carl from the Byte High No Limit podcast and we got chatting with Superpage58's Chris Bell.
But that's not all, as after the event we all sat down with the man responsible for most of Digitisers music from past to present and who also created all our original music, Mr Jerden Cooke.
With music from Digitisers past and present scattered through out the episode, this makes for a Wolfie episode like no other and if you are not very familiar with Digitiser, Mr Biffo and the crew, then hopefully this might be your gateway into this wacky, incredibly funny and sometimes weird world!
♪ Music Clips ♫
A BIG thank you to Jerden and Mr Biffo for allowing us to use all the Digitiser music you will hear in this episode including:

We go back to the '80s and visit a John Hughes film with some significance, even in the modern age with Weird Science.
A film that three quarters of us were not familiar with until now and one in which we will not forget about for a number of reasons.
On this episode we cover our general thoughts on the movie, the cast, our favourite scene and we find out where this lands on our board from above. You will also find a small section at the end where we show our support for the current writers and actors strikes currently in motion in America.

With Jurassic Park incredibly reaching 30, we wanted to revisit this monumental piece of film making to celebrate the anniversary of its UK release on the 16th July 1993.
We discuss why this film is so special to us, how the film adaption from the book was handled, our favourite scenes and we give our verdict and score before we try to discuss where we want the franchise to go in the inevitable future films or even TV shows. This just turns into us getting a few things of our chest about the World films and mostly Jurassic World: Dominion and we all felt better afterwards!

To celebrate today's release of Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny, we thought it would be a good excuse to revist the previous Indiana Jones films (yes, even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).
We share what Indiana Jones means to us and why its so special to us and others, we reveal our favourite Indiana Jones film, spend some time discussing Jon Williams amazing score and then share our hopes and fears for Dial of Destiny.

City Hunter was an unknown to all of us and it was down to Jason that we covered this film based on the strength of its Street Fighter 2 section and um yeah, it was not the success he hoped it would be.
City Hunter is a mixed bag with us which we go into in more detail, what we didn't like and what we did like, but this film will go down as the only film so far that broke Chris to the point that he could not form a cohesive sentence!
Let us know your thoughts on City Hunter and whether you agree with our thoughts on the socials or in our Discord!

We were delighted to welcome to The Wolfie Pod, Mr Scott Martin Brooks who is well known for playing Dookie in the wassup Budweiser commercials.
We find out about his days as an owner of a video rental store in Philadelphia, how he became involved in the Budweiser commercials and what it was like living through the aftermath of the commercials airing. We also found time to chat about some of Scott's favourite film and tv shows including the 1978 Superman film.
AUDIO WARNING: Although Scott's audio for the main part was excellent, we did encounter some distortion in places. We have done what we can to soften them but have not been able to eradicate them completely. You are still in for a great time, but we just wanted to let you know before you jumped into the podcast.
Many thanks to Scott for his time, it was greatly appreciated!

Jason & Rich took off to OLL '23 games convention which happened over the weekend of the 15th-16th April 2023 at the Norfolk Showground in East Anglia and this is our celebration of what has become one of our favourite shows of the year.
Not only do we discuss our experiences at the show, not only did we take eight interviews from some of the guests at the show BUT we were also joined by the fabulous Rowan Fox-Noble who runs his business MPBUK who specallises in creating instruction manuals for Nintendo Switch games.
Rowan was at OLL '23, selling his booklets and we did take an interview with him but unfortunately the recording did not come out well, so to make up for that we invited him on for another interview and hang out with us for the rest of the show!
The other interviewee's you will hear include Dean Mortlock of Sega Powered & Debug magazines, Nostalgia Nerd, Adam Koralik, Marc Jowlett of Sega Mags, Jon Doyle of Lost in Cult, developer of Crisis Island Sam, Alistair Lowe and YouTuber John Riggs.
We would like to thank everyone who was kind enough to take out some of there time to talk to us and also to the organisers of OLL '23 for all their hard work running the show - once again you all smashed it!
